Understand who controls the market you are investing or trading in, and youll have an advantage. Bitcoin is a free and open source market. Nobody owns it.
But does anyone control it?
Ask yourself this
How are Bitcoins created?
Who is incentivised to create Bitcoin?
Between 2013 and the beginning of 2017, big money had been slowly moving in on Bitcoin. They saw its potential as a relatively rare asset and also the mechanism that made it work. Bitcoin is seen as having a value greater than the sum of its parts.
Yes it's a free space, open source market and nobody owns it but for me someone is controlling it like the big exchanges and the big whales out there.
Once the big whales will start it's move, the price will skyrocket in just days or months then bull run will follow as the small investors will follow the flow also. So this is how I saw the market especially the bitcoin being controlled by influential people.
