Yea, but the fact is that at a certain point, those people with their big volumes won't mean nearly as much in the grand scheme of things if there's mass adoption. We're talking a GLOBAL market, not just the US. If crypto becomes more widely adopted, market manipulation waves will become weaker and weaker (from what I understand at least).
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Always open to a devil's advocate.

I'm not sure. I do agree that these ripples that the big boys are producing, can get less and less as more folks are on the boat. However, I think the big dogs are going to make as much value on the way down as they possibly can.

From what I understand, in order for one to open a high-leveraged short position on bitcoin futures, it costs them a shit ton of money. So big dogs are the ones doing it. They have enough fake printed money to repress bitcoins dollar value till their shorting hearts content. Sucks
