I think nobody can control or own the bitcoin system like they can not control and possess the technology by email and the internet. I think Bitcoin is no different than a mobile application or program that offers a personal Bitcoin wallet and allows users to send and receive Bitcoin.
Nobody owns Bitcoin or the system in which it functions. It is the community that dictates the movement and value of Bitcoin. The activities that are being made have direct impact into the value or price of any cryptocurrency as a whole.
You may ask, who or what is the community? The community is composed of the users, traders, investors, project creators, bounty participants, etc...In short, the community is us! We make the impact. We control the system and the market.
