We can say with near 100% confidence that bitcoin’s price has been fraudulently manipulated at some point in its lifespan since 2010
Ok welcome to assets traded on an open market like… Bitcoin is not immune to that nor is housing or currency or oil or anything. The bailouts were market manipulation, the shit pulled to stop Gamestop investors was manipulation, the whole economic system is rigged and full of speculative manipulation.
Bitcoin has problems when it comes to usability, adoption, reputation, granted, I don’t think anybody who is actually knowledgeable about this topic disagrees about that, I certainly don’t. But the system is good, it works well, for 15 years it has faithfully kept to the protocol and worked without being hacked or experiencing any downtime.
