Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on an open-source software. no one is controlling bitcoin. It’s fully decentralised. But practically it’s developed and supervised by contributors, miners, big exchanges and traders.

Bitcoin system is decentralized and no one can control bitcoin supply, transaction data etc. Bicoin developers spreads around the world because they want to participated on revolutionary new monetary system.

General opinion that it’s decentalised and therefore isn’t controlled by anyone, but then there are obviously patterns in its behaviour that it is following. That means that there’s stuff that affects it and goes into it.

I think the one and only can control bitcoin is the creator of it, he has all the code that can change bitcoin and it is only Satoshi Nakamoto.

I think nobody can control or own the bitcoin system like they can not control and possess the technology by email and the internet. I think Bitcoin is no different than a mobile application or program that offers a personal Bitcoin wallet and allows users to send and receive Bitcoin.

Ok, no one can control bitcoin.
But.. how can Bitcoin exist without internet?
If shutdown internet, bitcoin node cant' works.

no one owns bitcoin. It's decentralized and has to be in order to survive. But it can be accessed by core developers, so in case those people would decide to cause some harm, they actually could.

Bitcoin is inherently permission-less. Government's approval is not required. No one specifically controls Bitcoin in that:

(1) No one controls how quickly it can be mined. Every other Bitcoin becomes harder to mine as per the nonce of the mathematical algorithm.

(2) No one controls its value...some pump and dump practices have failed sinc skilled players can see the predictive pump-and-dump patterns on the market charts...so "insider trading" corruption is nullified.

(3) No one controls how it WILL evolve...and evolve it must to meet its new challenges of scaling etc..

(4) No one controls its utility.

Yes there are whales, miners etc...but ultimately is an ecosystem of interdependence and that's the BEAUTY of Bitcoin. The same variables cannot be applied to corrupt government FIAT currencies

Bitcoin is different than mobile application. Mobile application have management and management have control on their software but not on bitcoin. Bitcoin have own blockchain and spread all around the world, no one can control or manage that data chain

It is like a self sustaining system that needs no maintenance which keeps alive and functional by the people who uses it making it circulate throughout the market. I love how bitcoin system was made to have such impervious security that we can put our trust to invest into. I think being made as a decentralize currency does not require it to be controlled by a single entity or company.

One of the greatest that has been invented to help our system to be more secured and can't easily be manipulated. This is why more people are getting amused  about how the system works. No one really control the Bitcoin because the system is being distributed and to think those who owns a coins could also be an owner of the system.

No one can really control bitcoin, the inner source information about bitcoin because it is secured by the creator called Satoshi Nakamoto and made it decentralized, that means the every transaction made is viewable but disabled for editing. Regards with the price and value of bitcoin i can say that we are contributing to its price because we demand for it.

I DO believe that all the users of bitcoin are the ones in controll of it. It is free  for everybody. As long as you know  how to do it through internet. It depends on them  how the circulation of bitcoin and its price . More demand  of using  and adopting bitcoin , there will  always be that  big increase in price.  If nobody using it , then how it will grow. So it depends upon those people who are believing in bitcoin .

As a decentralized system by design, it can be difficult to see where the real power lies in Bitcoin. There are a number of different players in the ecosystem (e.g. miners, hodlers, exchanges, developers), but one entity has more power than the others in terms of what types of protocol improvements will be made.
the hodlers have the biggest impact on the bitcoin price due to the effect they have on the supply of available Bitcoin. Taking this point further, they also have the largest amount of power in terms of what types of improvements are made to the Bitcoin protocol because everyone in the system is incentivized to make the native tokens on the platform as valuable as possible.
There are many stakeholder like miners, hodlers, exchanges and developers are the one who have a big factors
affecting bitcoin prices, because hodlers can hold bitcoin that affects the circulation of bitcoin and i think exchanges is the biggest factors among the four reason stated above.

Other think that bitcoin have manipulated by the people or investor's who have big share in bitcoin. But it was already stated by satoshi who created bitcoin that nobody own bitcoin. Bitcoin is a decentralized and peer to peer, it is a self sustaining system.

No one can control or hold the bitcoin because it is decentralize program so no one can manipulate it or use it in bad things. either the government of any country don't have a power to control it as I said it is decentralize program.

According on bitcoin's history, No single institution controls the bitcoin network. It is maintaned by a group volunteer coders and run by an open network of dedicated computers spread arround the world.

Nobody control bitcoin because it is decentralize program and no one can manipulate it.

I don't think that there is someone who controls the bitcoin system because bitcoin is decentralized so nobody owns bitcoin and nobody has the power to control it so i think that bitcoin is just relying on the community and also from the people who uses it and buy and sell it on the market so bitcoin is just neutral and there is nothing to worry like being manipulated.

I agree with you.

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on an open-source software. no one is controlling bitcoin. It’s fully decentralised. But practically it’s developed and supervised by contributors, miners, big exchanges and traders.

Right bitcoin is an open - source software and nobody can control because of decentralized program of it.
