Everybody knows that cryptocurrency can be manipulated, but only few personalities can manipulate cryptocurrency. If we talk about the manipulation system, it is likely similar the words speculation and prediction. Because there is no personalities being found or being caught that she or he is the one who manipulates. It is only something suspected, because we are only suspecting that there is a manipulation when price rapidly down and likewise when rapidly rise, our speculation on that are manipulation. Some people says that there is a big investor who invest large capital that's why price higher, and when price go down, some people also says that large investors selling their assets or their stocks that's why price go down. I am totally ruin, maybe crypto management cannot be manipulated because they are developer and promoter.

There are many theories about market manipulation but I'm not convinced in that and I don't think this is possible. Maybe whales could influence it only on a temporary basis with huge amount of coins placed or removed from the market but even that I wouldn't call intented manipulation.
Market is functioning on a more complex basis.
manipulation of bitcoin is not possible because it is decentralized and that's the reason people are investing into it and if manipulation get started in bitcoin then people will be bored of it and they all will take out their money. Market is functioning on a more complex basis.

Absulutely yes, big whales can manipate the market by spreading fake news(FUD) like happen to bitcoin last year (FUD) spread and many people sell thier bitcoins, when the price is low they buy lots of coins so demand on the coins goes up and prices start to rise, abd then sell when the price goes up. Thats the market.

by spreading fake news, hiring fake posts/advertises, using downtimes of major exchanges (some) and on sametime excercising whale movements (pump/Dump) of big amounts of coins its possible to move price for a short time span.
in the long run it will take more money to manipulate ...
but short moves are enough to make money.
so...its possible to affect us. because we all are the market (and our trading bots).

If an entity is large and powerful enough, is it possible for it to gain a monopoly advantage and manipulate the rises and falls of the virtual currency market?
As far as I know no one can manipulates the virtual currency since it was designed that no 3rd part is involve and decentralized was occurred. Eventually, base on my own analysis it can be fluctuates tremendously by those big whales as they have huge amount of shares in crypto but it doesn't mean they can manipulate.

Yes. Even though I am not a trader or a sort of like investor I have heard some people say that something might be possible to happen due to whale manipulation on the market. We can go with the flow but it is always an advantage to those who has money to buy or sell some during a manipulation. That is why we need to have a situational awareness most especially the virtual currency market because a lot can happen in just a matter of time. If we did it on the right timing then not only those powerful entities make some gain but also of course us who make sone ride. February 27, 2018, 08:10:06 AM
possible ... it is real. it is happening

My answer is yes! It is actually a strategy use by fund manager who has a lot of financial capabilities to control in some extend the price of the market. It is actually happen in stocks market, forex, and even in cryptocurrencies.
The next question is this bad for the small player? The answer is no! We can take it to our advantage that kind of strategy use by big player. By studying the pattern use by big player, it is usually happen in the third wave of Resistance and Support line. All you have to do is carefully study the pattern.

I believed it already manipulated like this so called ultimate corrections in which i believed this was done by the big whales or some conspiracy just to make bitcoin and other crypto currencies to pump and dump. I also believed that China wants to manipulate the Bitcoin value during their banning the Bitcoin but they failed and later on they just declared that they will just regulate it than banning it.

Some of the smaller alts such as Bitsend (BSD), Denarius (DNR) and Deep Onion are having very small market caps and trading volumes. On top of that, these coins are traded in only a few exchanges. If someone is having $1 million to $2 million in liquid cash, then he will be able to manipulate the markets for these currencies.

is actually quite difficult to manipulate prices in the market. because the price of crypto is influenced by supply and demand. maybe if someone wants to manipulate the price in order to go up, they buy lots of coins so demand on the coins goes up and prices start to rise, then they sell it when the price actually goes up.

It is not only being done by public figures and the media, even companies and exchanges sometimes do play tricks on people. I have noticed it several times. I make use of one popular exchanger (I won’t mention their name, but they are very popular) they are used to setting Bitcoin price rate about 5% or so above others, and I have complained it to them several times, but they keep neglecting my messages. So I decided to quit and go with better ones. So market can be full of manipulations.

it's unlikely that this bitcoin does not control anyone, and the bitcoin can not control the bitcoin because the bitcoin is determined by the market harha, the less bitcoin supplied is the bitcoin will be more expensive and vice versa so it's very difficult to manipulate the price bitcoin or other virtual currency prices.

Monopoly? Not exactly, if you take monopoly as in a monopoly form of market where there is only one seller /a cartel or a company selling a same product /service at different prices to different people. But manipulation, definitely yes. Monopoly advantage like you said is possible and does happen in the markets every day by the bulls, what we call as whales in the cryptocurrency markets.

Yes you can and the people who manipulate the cryotocurrency prices are called as whales I think.But it is not easy as much as we think we need to hold big portion of that currency then we can manipulate the price of that coin,since the price of crypto currency is depends on supply and demand.
February 25, 2018, 11:39:02 AM
Of course it's possible, and it happens all the time. Big whales have the power to do this directly, politicians just by declarations.
February 25, 2018, 11:10:56 AM
It is possible and it is already happening in various ways for a couple of years.
Pump and dump for example is really easy in an unregulated market like this.
And i feel like this or last year a lot of the big money joined in , and they know how to manipulate.

I seem to know there is a case like this one of the big market and its end seems to have closed because it unravels the case, it really will make the loss of the players in the market that they manipulate the price, I think it's an unfair game.
Well, life is unfair, as you can see not all people are born rich. Same goes with trading and market manipulation. There are several people who have access to a huge amount of Bitcoin because they are an early adopters. These adopters are autmatically became billionaires when Bitcoin skyrocketed and since they have the money and Bitcoin, they can easily stage FUD and hype on which they prefer to maximize their profit on the market.

Surely, someone has really the power to manipulate the prices, specially those who are possessing great volume of bitcoin. Whales are not just manipulating the price they have the concern for the stability and maintenance of coin. Though they can manipulate the value, they dont still has the full control over all this. There is no way they can put down tge market, it takes great number of people tp do so.
