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.
Spreading lies and FUD has been in the market already so it's safe to say that it will get worst and tougher in the future, but it is really going to be tough? Bitcoin as a store of value is still in high demand and it will always be in high demand. The future of cryptocurrency is unpredictable but I think it will get better with time so it might not really be tougher in future, I'm optimistic about the future of cryptocurrency and even though there may be tougher challenges ahead but the underlying value of Bitcoin and the demand for it will always be an advantage.
They are whale investors, they have always maintained their influence in the market with lies and FUD. We don't have to wait for the future for this. Creating various kinds of rumors about the market is their regular job. It is not a new strategy to panic small investors by manipulating the market in a short time and buying at a lower price. But the good thing is that people have gradually learned to analyze the good and bad and make decisions. That is why any false information about cryptocurrency, especially Bitcoin, is not useful in that way. Those who are holders have learned to understand that these are a regular picture of the market. Those who will be regular in receiving their Bitcoin despite various kinds of troubles and will be in the long term will definitely create a good position in the future.
