It needs to be allowed for its real growth. Quite often these guys manipulating the market looks like an asset that doesn't have its own value, but depends on someone's words.
At first I thought it was some kind of coincidence that whenever Elon Musk say something about bitcoin, the price eventually affected. But once again, why does it keeps on affecting everytime he said or tweet something? This manipulation is kinda obvious, thus those followers were certainly believe that guy no matter what he'll said.
For that importance of bitcoin, it wasnt fading or losing. The essense of being a cryptocurrency still use, that digital transactions are of great use especially this pandemic season.
