What do you mean by being manipulated? There is no way that any economic asset is NOT being manipulated in this day and age.
Every currency is manipulated whether you are talking about FIAT money or cryptocurrency. With FIAT government and central bank are controlling money by quantitative easing.
And in crypto world we have whales who own huge percent of bitcoin and therefore can effectively manipulate its price.

price could be manipulated but bitcoin itself I have a strong doubt about it...
even the "code" is free and every one could "manipulate"... every one means = no one
What qualifies as manipulated and what qualifies as 'free market'? Or are they the same thing? I think we are at the mercy of a small number of people but that's the same as a ton of other markets too.
Exactly - in a way BTC is a replica of the real world; I've read here somewhere that something like the wealth of the first 60 richest people in the world is equal to the rest of the money held by all other people in the world. Makes you think.
Yes indeed. That is the extent of the manipulation in the world. BTC is just a part of it.
Of course we all just love this kind of manipulations..
If all this madness stops we will use bitcoin like money but never more like investment..
But when will stop? I think never.

of course we all love the manipulations as long as we are on the winning side and not watching our investment go cheaper and cheaper. you would curse manipulators if you lose a cent, just look at altcoin section and you'll see.
also about the stop part, i gotta say i believe that it is going to get better eventually and the huge rise/falls are going to become small changes in the market.

Problem in manipulation are those stupid journalist that can trigger crash with negativity in their columns. And every crash follows again fast pump. Average person who don't like to trade also don't like volatility of btc. This cousing slowering adopion..

Manipulated, are you reffering to the price of bitcoin or the usage?
The price for sure due to up and down changes recently and was happened too fast

Every currency, fiat or crypto and every commodity is manipulated to one degree or another.
The us government even has a special organization to manipulate fiat. its called the CENTRAL BANK.
Decentralization is relative. More decentralization = less manipulation.
yeah, I acknowledge all that has a value price. have fluctuations and can be manipulated.The us government even has a special organization to manipulate fiat. its called the CENTRAL BANK.
Decentralization is relative. More decentralization = less manipulation.
but it is difficult to manipulate fiat I think.
in contrast to bitcoin, no regulation and bitcoin is decentralized, so nothing is set bitcoin
This is easier to manipulate the price
Bitcoin is smaller market cap (MKP)
Of course it is a manipulated coin but the more it is getting popular the more it is chaotic and hard to manipulate...

Quite sure it is manipulated coin so 80% can agree

Every currency is manipulated imo. Bitcoin is no difference.Did you make that post just to troll me? I just posted that everyone knows every currency is manipulated.
Of course it's manipulated. How else would things go on? All coins are manipulated. Even fiat.
We are pretty much just repeating each other now. We get that all coins are manipulated. So stop saying that.

In my opinion all is manipulated, gold, fiat currencies and cryptocoins. Central banks manipulate fiat, big inversors and central banks manipulate gold, and bitcoin users with big amounts of bitcoins can manipulate bitcoin price. If bitcoin grows its base of users (inversors) could be less manipulate.
Unfortunatelly I'll have to agree. Yes Bitcoin is a manipulated coin. it is manipulated by a small group of Devs and a small group of traders.
Bitcoin is becoming centralized and we will need a new coin that can be truly decentralized.

I've been actually reading some stuff on the altcoin section where there is a coin (aeon) who's core dev (Smooth) is implementing a type of "ASIC resistant" mining technique that lowers the possibility of centralization... It's called "smart mining" and it allows any type of low powered computer, whether it's a laptop or even possibly a phone can start mining and only is "turned on" when connected to a power source. But essentially it lowers the hash to such a level that's automatically determined to not burn up/ruin the computer your running the smart mining OS on, or won't drain an insane amount of electricity/energy.
This will allow anyone to be able to start mining, whether it will get you anything out of it or not. I really haven't looked more into it, but it sounds like a really cool idea to me; because the level of centralization and barrier to enter the mining space is a real problem that should be addressed by bitcoin devs.
