I think depending on the strength of our money, if we have stock of the bitcoin dominant than circulating in the market then we easily manipulate the price of the bitcoin.

The people that holds a lot of bitcoin can have the power to manipulate the price of it. And we know on how the whales are manipulating the market and there are pump and dump groups that are helping each other to get some decent profit. There is a way to manipulate bitcoins price but it is not that an easy thing if you only have very few.

I think big capital will still be difficult to use to manipulate bitcoin prices. If they do not have a good plan. One person is not enough to manipulate bitcoin prices

When you have a big capital, it's pretty obvious that others have a big capital also. Your chance to manipulate the
price is when you have a big percentage of holding on the pie or the total circulation to make it simple.

I do not think that there are a lot of such holders of a large number of bitcoins. And this means that in fact, only a few people in the world can manipulate the price

You are wrong. There are a lot of bitcoin holders worth millions. But you will not see them because they are whales and working behind the bitcoin ecosystem. They are the one who manipulates the bitcoin price. Those are millionaires or billionaires that are holding bitcoin. We can only speculate who are they, but they can manipulate bitcoin price anytime they want.

There are whales that stays behind the shadows but there are also whales such as the Winklevoss twins that are like a celebrity in the bitcoin world and people root for their actions. They are whales that everyone knows about. If you haven't heard about them or even Vinny Lingham, then you probably don't read about the news. These people can spread FUD and people will be affected especially the newbies. And their actions about their investments, they always make it public. Of course ultimately they do that to earn more bitcoins.
