Are the exchanges detrimental to the value of bitcoin?

Huobi trading bots, gox debacles, and other bs has altered the price numerous times. The point of bitcoin was to be peer to peer.

Yes, many may bring up the point that exchanges are necessary (how to get bitcoins etc), but is there a better option that can make us truly peer to peer (so that the price can steadily and healthily grow without manipulation or willies, or goxxy etc)
