They ARE of course going to manipulate the market. This is the chance for cryptocurrencies(all of them, not only bitcoin) to show that they can thrive despite manipulation and become resistant to it(At least, more resistant than traditional public companies). The game is on, its showtime for crypto. I´m sorry for all those people who get caught in the economic crossfire(myself included), having descentralized blockchain markets is necessary for the future of everyone´s economic freedom.
