If you actually meant would bitcoin or altcoin be manipulated by individuals, government or any entity
I would say a no to that cryptocurrency is still very much decentralized so I don't see how that's possible
Topic: Will BTC and the Alts be easier to manipulate now (Read 1131 times)
We've invested in the bitcoin with various degrees of success, we've seen the good days and the bad days already
Manipulation is already happening, there are reports on how big companies are accumulating particular coins in large mounts at these reduced prices.
for me it's easy to manipulate bitcoin and altcon now even if it's low-energy now because I'm just investing now just what you need to do to handle it and sell it when its price rises.
bitcoin is not easy to manipulate but we can easily manipulate alt coins.
That so much capital left the market? Market cap was $220 billion 3 weeks ago. Today, we are barely holding on to $125 billion market cap. How much lower can btc go in price? 3k, 2k, 1k?
I don't feel like it's dead, but I feel like it is a lot more vulnerable than it was prior to a month ago, and I am not certain about a recovery any time soon.
Many speculator's that transmitting of stocks of Bitcoin to another is actually changed the number of world wide ledger and definitely confirmed if the value regular viewable at block chain market but the big question is why until now it will continuously going down the price.
It is difficult to manipulation in Bitcoin and Altcoin. Many companies develop new new preservation to save the crypto market from the manipulation of the Crypto Market. That is not that I will never be able to manipulation in the crypto market.

Manipulating this small capitalization is too easy because we are only talking 100$ billions here,and asking until how lon will this be?the answer is indefinite,maybe until tomorrow or a year no one really knows
it's not easy to manipulate bitcon and altcoins because the price is so low now and few investors have invested in it not so much that it's very easy to manipulate because its price is higher and it's still faster.
I think the recovery took a long time because many investors were disappointed and left. unless there will be good news coming including news of ETF approval I think it will be fast for price recovery
Keep thinking and hoping to your mind-created gods that ETFs get approved while in reality people have become very much aware that its not going to happen. They keep postponing and delaying. Its just another symbol of governments not willing to interfere with money that is considered as "dirty/criminal" and not the federal banks notes.bitcoin is not easy to manipulate but we can easily manipulate alt coins.

The shenanigans going on with bitcoin lead to the state in which bitcoin is today is as a result of whale manipulations.The whales take advantage of selloffs by shorting bitcoin and strengthen their monopoly of the market. They can acquire more bitcoins at lower prices before driving prices higher again. I do not think the whales anticipated so much downtrend in bitcoin. BTC and altcoins will be easier to be manipulated now for the whales can acquire so much at little cost.
This just indicate how this market can make you rich overnight and can make you lose in a minute. And we can't do anything about this, either we quit or just keep holding. The market is not yet dead but more likely an accumulation stage for everyone and those who lose trust were easily swayed and will regret afterwards. We've seen this before and those who remain are the one who will sit on their profit later on.
I am not too sure, but it is possible to manipulate the price of Bitcoin and Altcoin by "WHALE". we know that "WHALE" is able to do that, manipulating prices for their own interests and benefits. so I feel that for now, the price of Bitcoin and Altcoin is very vulnerable to manipulation.
If you saw what bitcoin touched last year you would be very much sure how much manipulated the market is. There is Tether, Hedge funds and locked up wallets all ready to dump their coins whenever they wish to cashing out on the free market as and when they wish. Thing is if you want to survive in the midst of this you need take decisive steps.
1. Do not get FOMOed as to buying some new coin.
2. Keep your portfolio short and simple and do not try to diversify too much.
3. Sell when you see a big bull run and dont keep on hodling till everyone has cashed out.
4. Be patient when there is a bear run.
If you are a billionaire and you want to control and manipulate the market in the future, now it is a good time to buy, I guess that is what happened in the last weeks and one of the biggest manipulators is the Satoshi himself
Essentially this - the only people who would actually be able to manipulate the market would be the top rich, and we wouldn't exactly be able to identify correctly who and IF this is taking place.
Some have mentioned wiping out alt-coins as a method to increase the price of BTC for example; not entirely sure this would work, nor would it be cheap.
you don't have to be "top rich" to be able to manipulate bitcoin price. the market is big but not that big to be immune to manipulators with a moderately large amount of money. and so far the manipulation has been an elaborate dump with FUD and drama which helps make weak hands panic sell.
as for altcoins, even if they disappeared today it wouldn't change a thing for bitcoin because majority of people are not investing money in altcoins. they are investing their bitcoin in altcoins to make profit on their bitcoins.
BTC will never be below 2k
for the problem of market manipulation, it is not easy for me to do that, but this is very easy to do for government institutions and also financial institutions with mass media in creating issues about bitcoin
just imagine if the American government banned the use of bitcoin in his country, then what will happen is a big crash,
really the decision of a president here really determines the fate of bitcoin

The new market cap as a result of the bearish market is still not a gurantee that the crypto market will be manipulated since the market is decentralze and no other group of people can influence the price.
The creation of cryptocurrency prices due to demand and supply. Without that the price is stable and not attractive to cryptocurrency investors. Therefore many data manipulations have been created through both online and conventional media that aim to influence prices to go up or down. The psychological owner of bitcoin is very influential in selling and buying cryptocurrency. That so much capital left the market? Market cap was $220 billion 3 weeks ago. Today, we are barely holding on to $125 billion market cap. How much lower can btc go in price? 3k, 2k, 1k?

Btw now I was thinking what will happen if coinmarketcup suddenly removed any top exchanger or for example any of them suddenly stopped withdraw option or stopped registration of new accounts, once all of these was done in different time. Or imagine any damagable text from somehow reputable persons or governments, would be interesting scenario, what will happen to bitcoin...
