I think the current rise we are seeing is somewhat related to them manipulating the price to maintain their profitability.
Can you prove that miners are manipulating the price, or is that just an conspiracy fantasy from your imagination?
LOL, No proof, not a conspiracy fantasy and yes from my imagination.
To me it just makes sense that they have the means and the desire to manipulate the markets to maintain the profitability they are accustomed to.
How they maybe doing it? Dunno, I bet there is some way to analyze the blockchain to determine part of the story.
Not saying it's a bad thing, or a good thing, it just is. To me it's no different than what happens in other markets all around the world everyday.
