who really cares?...
I don't know, I was sorta thinking everyone cares that market manipulation is the weak-link for btc destruction.
Let's be real, any-'ol billionaire can smash btc to the ground if they wake up in bad mood and decide they don't much like this whole bitcoin economy.
I'm really tired of this argument.
No billionaire will do this because: 1) Said person probably is too busy to care, or even KNOW, about Bitcoin. At that level of fiat worth, it is a full-time job to keep it.
2) It would be REALLY bad PR if any billionaire "got a hair up his/her ass" and did this -- Bitcoin is still niche, but it is widely enough known at this point that the person doing the smashing would probably end up with more enemies than friends because of it. Business enemies / friends (likely the only kind such a busy person has).
Bill Gates called Bitcoin a "techno tour-de-force", while his dumb codger rich business friends dismissed it out of ignorance...
The market is still small enough to manipulate, but no single individual has good reason to destroy it at this point IMO.
