Bitcoin real manipulation haven't really started.
In the future when BTC gets to a certain price point and the price start to get stagnant, also there isn't much coins to mine or maybe the mining ends.
The only way to make BTC more interesting again is reset, I don't know how this will go but I believe this will be the only way for future whales and men in power to make money, they have to create a mess for holders to dump, lies will actually be more effective then.
This is why I don't believe in 100 Sats becoming 100cents. It is going to be a tough time.
