I don't think it's fully manipulated, but I'm almost sure whales should take part in certain manipulation, of course, IMO.
Agree I also think so, I don't think that prices are forever or fully manipulated by the whales, maybe at some time the price is normal,
and I think manipulation is not an easy thing especially with a very large marketcap like in bitcoin market, of course the whales will have difficulty manipulating..
I'm with you, guys. I don't think the whales are capable of manipulating the entire market either. But I think they are trying hard and even might be through this forum by having their slaves type misleading posts to scare traders/hodlers off BTC.
