Nothing like politics in cryptocurrency, because this is often a decentralized networks that are not controlled by government, instead by individuals that have invented on them, also when we talk about the market price, there's nothing like manipulation there, though there might be some kind of reactions in it, but the truth is that no one controls all these, there are seasons and how we could track for our own profit how the market moves.
There is politics in cryptocurrency, when Trump was announced the winner after election, before his first speech as the president, the price of Bitcoin surged because of the statement he made promising creating cryptocurrency reserves.
If Trump should today create news eithers way, the market is going to have a quick swing, in as much he made a comment on the market.
No one has full control over the market, not even the government, that is a reason for price recovery, but the few swings is generating millions of dollars on who made the news and the purpose at which it was done.
