TD₿: The Truth About Bitcoin Price Manipulation! - (a Swan Signal Live video segment) with Brady Swenson, John Haar, Steven Lubka and Brandon Quittem
TL;DR: Every bull market, people claim the Bitcoin price is being suppressed—but is there any proof? While short-term manipulation exists in all markets, Bitcoin’s fundamentals remain unstoppable.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today's episode, we cover the ongoing debate over Bitcoin price suppression and market manipulation. We explore how accusations of suppression surface in every bull market and consolidation phase, and why these claims might simply reflect natural market dynamics—such as long-term holders taking profits at key price levels—rather than deliberate interference.
We also dive into conspiracy theories, including wild claims about influential figures like Trump orchestrating market moves, and compare Bitcoin's resilience to manipulation with what we’ve seen in traditional markets like gold. Ultimately, our discussion emphasizes that while short-term suppression might occur, Bitcoin's strong fundamentals and historical performance point to a future where true market value prevails.
