We are entering in the new type of economy where price predictions are not possible any more because productivity and prosperity of humanity will rise to the new golden age level. Bitcoin will go to 1 million dollars in 2018 and is being used by central banks as a global stardard ledger - dollar will fade slowly those who buy now will become the new wealthy elite.
Price predictions are not possible?
What does it even mean.
Price manipulation is the easisest thing to do in the bitcoin market as the volume is really small compared to traditional stocks and other assets, so it's very easy to manipulate the price if you are a whale, you don't need too much power.
That's the biggest risk for bitcoin, that an organization decides that they want to control the currency so they just buy a large number of bitcoins and they are now fully control the price.
