In effect that's what I'm alluding to at the end of the article. The central bankers see Bitcoin as the fulcrum for control. But will that work? For a short time yes, but the market should adapt to it and shift away from the manipulated market for the unmanipulated ones.
The truth is that $180 billion is not a lot of money compared to the trillions in the forex markets that move daily... of course, a lot of those assets are deflating while cryptos are inflating in price, so we'll see how things shake out.
