I think yes, the more BTC you own the more you can drive the market. Imagine the bitcoin whale who own the following address 3D2oetdNuZUqQHPJmcMDDHYoqkyNVsFk9r with 138.000 BTC and one day he decide to sell all the BTCs. I'm sure it will affect all the market.

It can't be regulate because they haas a chance to manipulate the play of price it can be use to corruption of many officials. They will control the movement of price some people will enjoy but some are not. Because it can use in illegal way.

Although value of bitcoin mainly based on haw much potential it has and what it promises, demand comes from individuals can't lead such prices we have experienced. Like every asset invested, there are some institutional investors who invest, speculate or manipulate. Because of legal issues and enforcements they don't do this directly and they go in the cryto-market as an individual investor or as a company nemed diffrently.

Bitcoin is seen as a currency that is not regulated by any institute. It does not generate any revenue and therefore, has a zero minimal value. What then brings about its value and drives it as well?
Bitcoins can't be regulated by any institute and perhaps so they are called anonymous. Bitcoins generate revenues in a number of forms which can be clearly stated as trading, mining, etc  and the rising demand for a limited supply drives the price for bitcoins.

yes, to a certain point, Bitcoin is really driven by people like you and me.

No. Bitcoin is decentralized crypto currency, no one controls it so its price depends on the demand of the market. Some people might be able to manipulate the price but I think it is not really driven by you and me but is affected by you and me. Every movement you done with your investments, the market will also move. That is how volatile Bitcoin is.

The market is affected by many things and most of this are made by people or individual as what you are refering to. Bitcoin, although we know it as decentralize in nature, it doesnt mean that it is considered as 100% free moving. It needs to fit the growing changes the environment begs for it depends on the place it is existed.

This same question plays in my mind for year now,that if someone or group of people that controlling or manipulating the prices specially bitcoin in which i guess whales has a power over smaller investors,so if they wanna shake the price to make people rattle and sell the coins its just too easy for them to do,so the panicking bitcoiner instantly losses their investments
Well i think big whales is a group of big investors on the bitcoin feild that plays the price. I think this manipulation is cannot be done by a single person or a individual because market is really bigger than what we think. I believe that bitcoin is amazing and soon it will maybe rise up high depending on the market.

of course this is encouraged by individuals, the way bitcoin works is like gold.
the limited amount makes the price soar, and also the demand for bitcoin greatly affects the price, the more people come to invest. it will make the price of bitcoin even higher.

Which brings its value and drives it upward until it has a high value, because bitcoin moves with the existing demand and supply so that bitcoin continues to have value without returning to zero, because enthusiasm has become popular from many people around the world so we can generate profits that are quite good from bitcoin.

Yes bitcoin is driven by an individual why because it's as simple as supply and demand. When the demand is there and the supply is low, then the market value and price increases by this, it's driven by the hodlers and not by certain institute. Moreover, we do know that some the so-called WHALES can also drive the price anytime they deem fit to do so.

Well one of the most important features of the bitcoin is it's decentralized structure, so there is no central control. But the irony is that actual services and business built within the bitcoin are centralized. Simply said they are run by some individuals and their specific computers. Pure example is well-known exchange coinbase which is fully centralized. you can check it with ease.

Physical fiat or currencies are driven by People and just as this principle, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are also driven by People. Bitcoin is the revolution that is transforming the way people transact goods and services. It has introduced a peer to peer system making it possible to send funds to any part of the world within minutes.

Bitcoin is decentralized and cannot be controlled by any individual or bodies. But the actions of the holders of the coins is what is seen as the market reaction which now moves the market in the desired direction depending on the strength of the actions of the individuals. This is called market sentiments and it is responsible for price movement in the market.

It has always been and always will be. Although bitcoin is a decentralized authority, the strong half of humanity has always been in the minority and ruled the weaker half. The same thing we see here as the larger players in the market create a direction for the price of bitcoin and all the rest have to go for them.

of course the one that encourages bitcoin to advance is the bitcoiners. because all this time bitcoiner is certainly involved in the bitcoin market, by encouraging bitcoin to be able to advance further into the future. so the development of bitcoin is also in our hands. therefore if you want bitcoin to progress, avoid feeling like you are resigning or feeling doubtful.

It depends on the demand if more people accepts bitcoin then it will take a green flag in cryptos and rules by every individual infact the choice is all in our hands and we together need to take a right decision to hold bitcoin as we are already in the industry and believe cryptos. That is the result for 2k19.

This depends on your value criterion
Minerals, for example, in their mass
And its price is determined on the basis of its characteristics and scarcity and this concept
But what is the value of Fiat?
It's just a paper ..
Their value has been determined by our recognition of this value and our acceptance of it
The BTC offers a technology that is more useful than Fiat that just an expression of the strength of the country's economy.

Bitcoin value doesn't equal 0, at least for one reason - the cost of mining. Without mining, Bitcoins will not be, that is, a necessary condition for the existence of Bitcoin is mining. In order to make mining possible, it is necessary to purchase special equipment and pay for the power grid that will be spent on the operation of this equipment. That is, already at this stage, Bitcoin production has costs.
We all know that over time, bitcoin mining becomes more difficult, and the block reward decreases. That is, the initial cost of extraction of a single unit grows. This is what determines that the value of Bitcoin can't be equal to 0.
And the demand for bitcoin affects its current price.
