Recently, we have seen lots of institutional fund to come in the market. Tesla have invested and possibly soon we will see rich people are using BTC as store of value. As the days go, we see the mcap is increasing. When it will increase more, what do you think, will the price manipulation be decreased? Or even effected? If we look at the Tesla announcement, it didn’t create huge changes. India may have a ban on crypto, that doesn’t effect the market. So, as we see the increase in mcap, will we see power of manipulation is decreasing?
As you said, Tesla purchase didn't create huge changes... So should we really be worried about price manipulation? With so many different investors it seems really hard to manipulate bitcoin price. I believe many different corporations will invest in bitcoin, if they haven't done this yet, but the only risk for bitcoin would be if many of them joined together making coordinated movements in crypto market, that would be a real manipulation.
On the other hand if corporations stay independent among themselves and continue each one with their own goals manipulation will be a weak threat in this market.
