Yeah, Bitcoin price doesn't care much about Tesla or any other company now. It doesn't fluctuate too much like the old times when these companies make a statement like they are going to hold Bitcoin or to accept payments with Bitcoin. I like that the market is getting more resistant against these kind of manipulations.
It's not really manipulation. The price is driven by individual investors who are trying to get rich or FOMOing in. When a company would announce they were accepting bitcoin, the speculators would pile in hoping to make a quick buck on the hype of "mass adoption." To the extent these types of things don't happen anymore, it's because it's just too big at this point. "Adoption" isn't really a driving force anymore in the price because the speculators can't buy enough to meaningfully move the price. It just takes too much money at this point.
Yup, actually even if we say bitcoin doesn't care, most of the investors, the one who move the market, care about those news regarding tesla, or amazon. That's why the price move, going up or down regarding it. Although most of people here hate it, calling it manipulation, well, it's not manipulation. It's not like they do something directly to manipulate the price, in fact those investors or bitcoin buyer are the one who follow the words, fomo, and thus making the price up. But it's getting old sooner or later, the price won't be moved just because of that anymore later on.
