I just came across a paper written by John Griffin and Amin Shams which states that the bitcoin price was being stabilized because of a coordinated price manipulation with tether.
I respect empirical studies but I don't want to believe that. Many have become millionaires because of their investments in bitcoin and other cryptos, which is what attracted even more investors as these new currencies were being adopted by many to conduct business.
I am still a bit puzzled by the results of the study.

Market manipulation is possible, whales are driving the price crazily. I think whales agree to pump or dump the price for them to take advantage of it and become even more rich. Cryptocurrency price is driven by the market demand, and price increase and drop also affects the market activity. So, whales or big investors has a huge role on the market price.

At the moment, you do not need to be a cryptography guru to see the manipulations in the crypto market. These people do not stop. The market continues to be wild. Institutional investors do not want to invest that is why. Too much risk. Too many manipulations ... Sad

This accusation must accompanied with evidence so we better look at it as positive information. Market manipulation was possible if do you have a huge capital to gain and control the trading price and volume but the question was is this already happening for me it has need to be supported with factual evidence.

Unfortunately, stable coins were being used to manipulate the price of cryptocurrency. Well, it was very obvious that a group of traders are very coordinated which are being controlled by the whales to bring down the price of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Regulating the exchanges should be prioritize where those fraudulent activities like market manipulation must be detected and those people behind that should be imprisoned.

From the start we all knew that this is business, the founder and creator of this forum is the owner and we are just a worker inorder to progress this business and earned or gain more profit, the big whales made their way by manipulating the market so we can sell our tokens as cheapest price then afterwards they sold it at big price, so this is the game of generals...

this market is totally manipulated, that's why even big players are getting destroyed losing millions of dollars. Today, another bull trap. BTC down by almost 9%.

6 months ago i said this market was dying. Look at my signature and when did i change my mind, and you'll see if i'm wrong or not.

I will definitely read this article, but it seems to me that in order for the price to stabilize, developers still need to spend a lot of updates and add many functions

Currently, Bitcoin is an excellent tool for enriching banks, because they have access to the largest stock exchanges, and therefore the ability to manipulate the price. Considering that in fact, the volume of transactions outside the stock exchange is much larger than the volume of transactions on the stock exchange - this is an excellent way to transfer Bitcoin from small holders to large ones.

The manipulation do take place in crypto and that should not be new to every crypto user that the stable price of bitcoin was a function of manipulation which was used to let the price stay above $6000 for a while before we see this crash again and if no one believe then is left to the person with his own opinion.

Maybe everything is not so drastic, but nonetheless, Bitcoin is a digital currency, which is very easy to manipulate by investing and withdrawing large investments!

Well I believe since bitcoin is a decentralized currency and is not controlled by any individual or government it price will always be subjected to it depends in the market, that is more control and volatility and I think that is the real freedom we are talking about there.

people have been trying to connect bitcoin and its price to a lot of things, including tether for a long time because these people can not analyze the market as it really is so they start using weird things to justify what they can not explain.

and when it comes to altcoins the market manipulation is so huge that you can't even deny it. but you can to explain it either. all you can do is either stay away or learn to take advantage and make some money from it.

The price of bitcoin is being stabilized? That statement is quite difficult for me to digest.Market manipulation is actually not just a thought from self that makes it happen,there is only supply and demand in the market as in other markets.

It's normal in any business that those who have money will manipulate and take advantage with the weakness of others. I will just go with the direction of bitcoin as this will give us profits if we have patience to wait for the bounce back.

I think bitcoin is still strong. We just have some many big manipulators trying to keep the market low.
Recovery could take some time. We have to stay strong and adapt at times.
We need to know how we will react correctly, the market was been manipulated and more of those people around this industry are losing their money since they don't know how to play well with big whales, if we will study how they make an impact we will be able to anticipate the next movements the more the market being shaken the more we should invest our money, after this, money will flow back again inside the market.

In fact, more than 80% of investors have suffered losses this year, and those who are profitable are these price controllers! But manipulating bitcoin is very difficult because it is very expensive!

Big whales made a big impact on the crypto market and collapsed the coin values, just to scare Panic sellers. I never expected the market will go down for such a low price in the last quarter, I guess we need to wait for few more months.

Cryptocurrency has attracted a lot of investors due to people making testimonies that they became millionaire through investing on this and it does continue to lure more investors now even if bitcoin is experiencing a crash right now. We can't deny the fact that there are speculations that bitcoin's price is manipulated and i tend to believe that it is true.
