Bitcoin has a chance to cost even $ 100,000, but manipulators will not do it instantly, and on pumps and dumps they will take a lot of money from hamsters.
When you say manipulators having to decide on doing an instant pump on the coin or not, it presents a feel that, these guys actually set the bitcoin price in a way. I get it that manipulation of prices does happen but, it’s usually within a very short period of time and possibly they get to make some money from it but, it’s not on every bitcoin exchanger out there.
Still, ETF isn’t exactly bitcoin but, just an offering.
The news here is in the winning against the government. That’s what every bitcoin enthusiast wants to hear and it in turns passes a message to the yet to be or anticipating investors that it’s not ultimately what the government might have presented it as.
We could expect some positive reactions from this news but, I really wouldn’t want to view it in the direction of pump and dump. Bitcoin is one currency that has a fair growth and decline rate to its phase.
If you think price manipulation can be short-term, then can you explain it to me? Why do many people think that bitcoin cannot fall any further and that it will increase as the halving approaches? The closer to halving, the more demand will increase, and from there the price will increase, but until now, nothing has changed and bitcoin is even decreasing. That's not manipulation, so what is it?
In the long term, the ETF will indeed be positive for bitcoin but in the short term, the news is only relevant as an excuse to pump and dump the market whether you like it or not. Not only do the sharks like it, but many short-term investors like it too. Manipulation is inevitable in a market as small as bitcoin or crypto.
