If you've been around the cryptosphere, you've probably heard both camps on whether BTC is manipulated. Many say it's the "weak hands", others blame large institutions, while other's say it's all that MT GOX guy doing another dump? What do you think? Is it manipulated? Please include your reasoning on the matter.
I wont say that its impossible, and I am willing to say that it is still plausible and very much a possibility that bitcoin or the cryptocurrency market can be affected by a lot of the external factors that can saturate the market. However dor this to push through it would really be a source of mass manipulation and a good understanding of the cryptocurrency market. Its such a high stakes right now and this is about trust.
