Miners and whales have aligned to take the price of bitcoin down so they can buy more cheap bitcoin WHILE pumping and dumping alts.

I believe there will be no hard fork at all because both whales and miners know it would kill the price.

They want you to sell your bitcoin to buy cheap, same history as always.

Bitcoin still king.

I think miners not buy bitcoin, but buy hardware to produce bitcoin this mean bitcoin seller not buyer
if about crash and dump price because about bitcoin issue, bitcoin unlimited, segwit, hard fork and about block size
about dump and pump i think playing is trader not miners

Miners can play as traders too though if they want since they can get some fiat after selling all the coins they mined and they have a lot of bitcoins so they are one of those whales who controls bitcoin price so I think they are involved in any FUDS made trying to make bitcoin price down for them to rebuy cheap bitcoins, ending with more profit in the end. Plain traders are playing in this dump and pump but remember, a miner can be a trader too

They can but there is not much sense in it

The reason for this is the same why companies prefer to be involved in only one field. Even if they have to diversify their business (e.g. due to dire economic situation), they still prefer to start new businesses as standalone companies (to test waters and if something goes awry close these companies). In other words, exclusively sticking with something specific allows you to master it and thus get a competitive advantage before other people or companies doing the same. Otherwise you are risking to end up as "jack of all trades and master of none"

Bitcoin have the same problems as the all rest of the capitalistic world. Capitalism is slowly sinking into the feudalism from which it had came. Thats not a good thing at all. The rich hoarders aka whales won't extinct by themselfs . There is no incentive in the system not to monopolize all the wealth by a few. To the contrary if you are a rich the prospect of getting richer is very optimistic

I strongly disagree with such attitude

Gaining more and more wealth makes sense only up to a certain point. After reaching that point, people just start doing what they like most. So there is a limiting factor which prevents grabbing all wealth in just a few hands, and in most cases it is a self-limiting one, i.e. people stop looking for more profits not because there are no more opportunities around but simply because they lose interest. There are many other interesting things to do in life apart from earning money. Indeed, I don't take into account such madmen like Warren Buffett and his breed who is married to money, but he is old and decrepit anyway, beyond the point of no return (if there is such or will be in the future)

In reality, that doesn't happen. I would like to think that that's what I would do if I was wealthier, but honestly I have no idea, and the reality is that there are extremely rich people around

Their wealth is nominal

And it is not so much about having a pile of dollars under the mattress as controlling wealth generating entities and businesses. Ultimately, it doesn't matter who owns or controls them, government, a single individual or a group of shareholders, as least, as long at they keep generating more wealth since this wealth necessarily makes the whole society better off and wealthy overall. In other words, no matter how greedy you may be, if you want more wealth you will have to share some part of it with other folks. Otherwise, you will most likely start losing what you already have as the time passes by

I agree the power brokers are blocking, but your guess is not the likely reason.

Follow my link as to why SegWit can't ever be activated for Bitcoin:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18459085

I think the math there will enlighten you.

I think the logic is flawed. A "power broker" could always choose to send their transaction to their node and get refunded for the fees when their code gets a block. However that isn't really how transactions work. Transactions often get broadcast to other nodes, so a "power broker" can't really control who gets the fee.

Bitcoin is not a bubble but it is not perfectly stable asset as well. People would like it to be constantly growing and never ever drop its value.
That can't be done, market cap is not that high, presence of early adopters/whales who can manipulate price by dumping/rebuying coins is a perfectly possible scenario.

Wow ... I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere, seems like I'm in the twilight zone ... Undecided

Simple fact: just because we can't see something doesn't mean it's not there.
It is hard to prove this kind of manipulation of market, but it will be stupid to think it is impossible.

Manipulation happens from time to time. There also seems to be some fluctuation in price that is not from manipulation but from other factors such as good or bad news about Bitcoin, price of gold and stocks, and new investors coming in.

I also feel like that soon very bug bubble appear at the moment someone is buying the all coins at the range of $900. This happening consistently from last month the price is an circle of this soon bitcoin will touch new high price.

You really cannot tell that the current price bubble is simply because of mere speculation but i do think that the Japan's stance of bitcoin made the rally and you really must of forget that the scaling issue still stands and with BU not getting much fans after like they had before after finding flaws in their code,i do expect a price range of $1000 to $1200.

Where is Bitcoin in a bubble?? We have seen healthy and constant growth since october 2015.
There is a shitcoin bubble, created by manipulators and bloated by dumb money which will create many bag holders.
Bitcoin will profit from it big league when that bubble bursts! Till then just buy BTC and HODL!

I think it'd be more apt to call this a FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) job. Trolls do it for the lols, these guys are doing it for the potential gains. I have a feeling someone in the mining community is going to get burnt in the coming months by one of their own supporters/backers/investors and they're not even going to be expecting it.

Manipulation will always be a part of any economy whether it is bitcoin or world economy. It is how the rich and wealthy make their money. It is just easier for the whales in bitcoin to do this. Just dump and spread some fud rumors and newbies will follow dumping their bitcoins too. I do not know if ever there will be a time it will harder for them to manipulate bitcoin price.

Its essensial for Bitcoin's future that whales will dump their coins and get eaten by the little traders. Bitcoin will be succesfull if its owned by many people in small amounts. Otherwise bitcoin will only be a speculative 'tool' for the rich folks. It needs to me a store of value. Whales will extinct when bitcoin becomes more and more stable.

I basicly agree with you that for the bitcoin to work, and in general a capitalism to work there have to be mechanism of distribution of wealth from the richest ones to the rest of the people. The best method in this distribution should be based on the merits, some added value in the part of the people opposed to hoarding and speculating by the rich.

Bitcoin have the same problems as the all rest of the capitalistic world. Capitalism is slowly sinking into the feudalism from which it had came. Thats not a good thing at all. The rich hoarders aka whales won't extinct by themselfs . There is no incentive in the system not to monopolize all the wealth by a few. To the contrary if you are a rich the prospect of getting richer is very optimistic.

And in bitcoin world the incentive hoard the bitcoins does not favour distribution them from the top to bottom. To the contrary I expect the whales to get bigger and bigger. Thats good for the price of the bitcoin, don't get me wrong. Its not the end of the world. But with the bitcoin inequal distribution cames the dangers like disconnecting from the world economy, becoming and empty bubble etc etc.

I do not think miners are the one pulling the price down. From the recent event, it was the exchanges that pulls the price. FUD'ing Bitcoin market abot the fork and not accepting it. Probably whales have something to do with it since they are always the one who gets the most benefits whenever there is a manipulative down in price

You are confusing the train of events, either deliberately or inadvertently

Exchanges actually supported Bitcoin by making it crystal clear that they will do everything to protect themselves and their clients, and that meant staying away from BU. They did refuse to accept the new Bitcoin, that's a fact, but, first, you fail to mention that their position supported Bitcoin by making things clear, and, second, they agreed to consider BU as an altcoin (which was an obvious decision given there is virtually no support for BU among Bitcoin users). Besides, they revealed their stance when the FUD had already spread across the net

I don't think the manipulation is very serious. Altcoins are definitely getting pumped, none of that growth is realistic, but I think Bitcoin's price is mainly due to that manipulated altcoin surge rather than direct manipulation of Bitcoin.

Miners may well be manipulating us to bring the price down though, as they could easily sell their Bitcoin, signal for BU as a threat that lowers the price, and then buy back again. It would only take Antpool and a couple of other major pools (excluding F2Pool which is just strange) to do this.

Well I doubt that. I think that the price manipulation is very serious not just in altcoins but also in bitcoin. Have you noticed that when bitcoin price started to go down a little just before the dump to sub 1000$ many spread fud about bitcoin about BU and threads saying bitcoin is dead? That yet is the greatest proof of the manipulation of BTC price which I think is serious and I agree with OP that now it is not only whales who manipulate bitcoin but also miners participated in the last manipulation.

big whales wait till the price of bitcoins goes down and to buy the bitcoins, well you l see that the 1st of the month the price of bitcoins goes high as this is the time when people buy bitcoins.
miners buy hardware pretty costly one,coolers if they need to mine bitcoins.

There has always been price manipulation by traders (as far as I'm aware of it is mainly the Chinese). Price instability make traders money, but as bitcoin matures and becomes more stable and adopted it should be less open to price manipulation.

I do, however, think op is exaggerating and we are not being manipulated that much.
