Manipulators are everywhere. They are in the stock market, they are in the hedge funds, they are in the venture capital companies, almost everywhere in the financial system.

There's no way we can cut them from the system. But that doesn't make the fundamentals of bitcoin, flawed! Watch what you are saying!
