I suppose the price will definitely be manilpulated, but what will the price be? Will it be manipulated from $10,000 down to $8,000 or $100,000 to $75,000? I think those of us that have invested now won't really care too much then.
Unless they manipulate it to $100.. or $10... or $1
They couldn't because there is sufficient people that believe in the "value" of bitcoin that if coins became available at $100 or $10 they would disappear before you could blink and the price would go straight back up
