Manipulation never comes to an end with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Depending on the market capital and the growth experienced the manipulation too happens. The bubble popping is just a outcome and these days the hands of China alone have got down in the price manipulation.
dude this topic is old and someone just bumped it up as a fun thing to laugh at the starter of this topic which is a known troll who is repeating the same thing as price drops. if you read what he is saying you see he is calling the drop down to $300

meanwhile price is testing $1400 resistance.
Topic is about four months old... but still, the subject matter is now as up to date as it was then.
I must agree that there might be a bubble blowing up, but I don't agree with the 99% hypothesis.
And I am sure that during the last months, the diversification of bitcoin has grown and not concentrated amongst a few people even further.
That is one thing that gives me hope why the actual high in price won't lead to a too harsh bounce back.
It looks like this could be a bubble. The price keeps going up so there's got to be a correction at some point.
