Hi here !

So, the captitalization of BTC reached 40B $ , this is nice but not huge at all compared to FIAT currencies.

My question is : with such a "low" amount of money, does the traders have real power over the Bitcoin price ? I always heared about the natural inflation, simply more demand etc... But don't you think that if a lot of early investors with huge amount of BTC could gather and have control over its price ? Or they are simply slave of the system like every one of us ?

I'm waiting for your toughts  Grin

Traders with large amounts of Bitcoin can manipulate the price especially if several whales work together. Of course as Bitcoin becomes spread among more smaller investors and traders, this manipulation will become harder to accomplish and there will most likely be less volatility in the price.
