My question is, if you holds a lot of amount of bitcoins and other top alternative coins, you are almost whale god in crypto market, it's depend on you if what do you want to do the value of bitcoin, is that right?
Being a whale alone isn't enough to manipulate the market, you need to have some help from your co-whales to shake the market.It is not they are doing what they want to set the price of bitcoin base on what they like. Price of bitcoin is still depending on supply and demand.
Any solution for this, to avoid manipulation of crypto markets?
There's no solution for this manipulation, this has been the problem even in other the same markets. Oligarchs in real economy, hoarders and other types of manipulators can't be gone.Hello, I have been hearing many rumors going around saying the rich are manipulating the market? does this statement uphold its value?
Its really going to be hard in tracing it down to a particular source of one thing that led to the downward trend of price because several news, actions, comments that have been coming out negative have the potential to drive down the price to a point and every other panic seller would then fall in line to escalate to the extent of having a full blown bear market. I think the decision of the justice department of the United States report of their intention to investigate the manipulation of price must have added to those factors working against the price at this time.
Hello, I have been hearing many rumors going around saying the rich are manipulating the market? does this statement uphold its value?
The whales are holding huge amounts of bitcoin and can definitely manipulate the market if they want but I do not see a manipulation in the bear market, the bear market that we are seeing emerged naturally since it was impossible to maintain the previous bull run, now it is also possible that the futures market which was established not long ago is having an effect on the price as well.
Before justifying what is a "bear trend" let me explain the meaning of bull and bear trend. Usually when we deal in crypto or any other stock, we usually come across these words they are used to depict the conditions of current market where bull shows and uptrend of market and bear means falling of market. And if you think rich investors started these trends, I totally agree as those are the only people which take benefits and curb the money of users which sell under the pressure of these trends.

this is what the pump and dump market says, when they (the rich) who hold large funds to be able to buy large amounts of bitcoin, they have the immunity to move a market, so the price can soar high, and vice versa 
Hello, I have been hearing many rumors going around saying the rich are manipulating the market? does this statement uphold its value?
We all believe that its a yes so I have read some good points about the manipulation in the market and that's right, the rich investors or whales are doing this.Giving high fake buy and sell orders to manipulate it and now they are being under investigation. The people behind the manipulation aren't just small traders but they are big time traders who can literally call as a whale.
I guess it's the desire to earn more. Most investors and traders have really studied the market and knows what and in which direction it has been moving and decides to hold for a very long time after the price has moved up to their expected or desired price. And it also interesting to know that those whom have been bearish on cryptocurrency are those who mare earnings from it cause been a bearish investors requires patient.

There are a lot of factors that really contributed to the bear market and it all started way back in January. When the market started to crumble down. Some say it all started with the Mt. Got trustee offloading his joins around that time, but the problem is that we didn't know it at the beginning. It was around March that we have uncovered, but its too late since bitcoin is below 5 digit by then. Followed by a lot of regulations and FUD and even the consensus week was not enough to push the price. And then the SEC investigations plus US and Canada crypto regulations joining force. That's some of the reasons that I can think of right now that might factor what causing their bearish trend that we are seeing for the last 5 months or so.
Market doesn't think what we think. it actually do opposite , so it's useless to think on short term if you are not a day trader. My theory is hold good coins for at least five years and you are good to go.
I do not know what these bear market trends are, obviously if I am always polishing up the basics of research and projects. even in the bear market, blockchain and smart contract projects will continue to revolutionize the technology. Interaction with automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence will enable businesses to bring more value with fewer resources. This is the direction the market is moving towards.
This is the cause of whales selling their crypto currency a consensus formed by group of people to dip the price then sell again when the price surge. Some say that this is because of some trading site's bug being exploited and hackers get free bitcoins. Some say that scammers is manipulating the prices through spoofing and producing fake transaction in order for people to buy or sell their coin.
I see that the people who hold large numbers of BTC are manipulating the market by drawing large amounts of BTC and price fluctuations. However, I find that the price depends on the news and the outside.
My guess is that the MtGox trustee is one of the contributors to this dip. Looking at one of his address that is empty leads to another Bitcoin address that contains 8k btc and if you follow the recent transactions from the second address it seems that some of the Bitcoins were sent to an exchange of some sort.

Thats truth whales are really making the marketplace value go dump and bump in the market dude. If you wish to invest your fund on trading you can make profit anytime. All you need to do is, just choose the good ICO projects and make money out of it.
Please check various exchanges and go to invest the fund with the potential coin to grow in the market bro.
Rich are able to manipulate the market but still they cannot pay to dump signal to stay the market value for long time.
Hello, I have been hearing many rumors going around saying the rich are manipulating the market? does this statement uphold its value?
A big investors or groups who holds a lots can really shake the market once they dump but for the full impact of it, it will be on the hands on those who will follow. The trigger will start at big ones and it's up to the community if they will follow and if they did, that's the start of bearish trend. The dump will cause fear, worries and negative speculations resulting for more expected dump.
Same goes if the trend is bullish.
Those who luckily catch the success - are just exceptions.
Catching the success depends on your faith and believe on the coin. It is not only luck , you have to do proper research on the coin to understand its future. Like some altcoins are good now.
Hello, I have been hearing many rumors going around saying the rich are manipulating the market? does this statement uphold its value?
You are still suspicious of that? why there are so much people investing, trading, but none becoming reacher? why price always goes against you after you entered the market? all these questions have one answer - this kind of markets are created to make reacher just concrete persons. Those who luckily catch the success - are just exceptions.
I don't think anyone can specifically tell you one thing which started the bear trend, as there can be several factors in it.
In my opinion, the price just rose way too quick. This price increase was likely caused by tons of people seeing the price increasing, causing them to fomo. If you look at google trends, in December there was so many people searching how to buy bitcoin. When the price got to a ridiculous high level it's likely that people started taking profit. When the price started dropping, it caused others to take profit. Couple that with the large amounts of FUD we have had recently, such as tether, several hacks, scam ICO, regulation scares, etc. People just don't feel safe investing right now.
With the market constantly going down there aren't too many people who actually feel safe putting in their money, since you can lose a large chunk over night.
Luckily, I see that with regulation people will feel a lot more confident investing in crypto, and with the crack down on scam ICOs and shady operations of exchanges, I'm hoping we're going to be able to start increasing steadily again.

Maybe supply exceeded demand, as a lot of people wanted to cash out. That can affect the price.
