Sorry I cant edit my comment on dtube..... So I think there is short term manipulation.... I dont think they will be able to continue to manipulate BTC..... They can only control the supply.... they could have bough a bunch and sold it but after they sell it they can only turn to exchange margin trading..... at some point his will have to give.... Gold and Silver are continuously manipulated by wallstreet..... We are talking about a supply far greater than what exists with BTC..... if this thing is shorted past a certain point with nothing backing it up then wall street will get burned..... the exchanges will call the margins in not allowing for a massive over sell of BTC because the supply just is not there.
