Not so sure about the legitimacy of your theory, but it is pretty certain that the US is not the only country or power manipulating the price.  China has been doing this for years.  Every ban and unban is price manipulation.  Whether they ever purchased Bitcoins and used banning as a way to make profit is unknown for now but the thing is, big powers do have the capacity to influence the price of Cryptocurrencies.

Why would satoshi be involved in controlling the BTC price?

BTC price can't be controlled by one person and Bitcoin is owned by individuals they can only manipulate the price by news or a group of people or a company with a huge money/BTC and it also depends on the trends but they will never control the price.
That is why there are whales out there waiting to buy or sell and they are mostly doing some strategy that can manipulate the price a bit.


About Satoshi If they know Satoshi he can't do anything about Bitcoin price the movement of the price depends on demand and supply which is controlled by people who buy and sell on exchanges.

It sounds like the OP and some friends were chatting about Bitcoin, the market
and Satoshi and came up with these wild ideas, it sounds like fantasy not reality.

In order to turn fantasy into reality there needs to be proof, evidence or data.

Grayscale and CME are powerful financial institutes and Bitcoin isnt controlled.
Just because Bitcoin hasnt hit either $10k or $100k doesnt mean its controlled.

We assume it's all true. What are you going to do? Just walk away from BTC or do you still choose to stick with BTC on the condition that they will control the price?

I don't really care about that because as long as I can make a profit, I will continue to use it well and I don't want to be too late to have a lot of bitcoins so I can sell them at the highest price.

But how can you be so sure when we don't know who Satoshi Nakamoto is? It will remain a mystery until Satoshi Nakamoto himself comes out of hiding and proves that he is the real Satoshi Nakamoto.

I guess those are all assumptions about who Satoshi is and driving the bitcoin price, but we can only guess without knowing the truth.

The thing is Bitcoin and banks are contradicts each other, many people think Bitcoin will replace banks in the future... it make no sense if banks created Bitcoin, it's just like they're digging their own graves.

What does operate you mean? You can mine it yourself using high graphic cards or you mean about connecting your node? You can do that by run full node on BitcoinCore.

Whoever satoshi may have been, it has no correlation with price movements.

And, to be honest, even when people claim to have "facts" or "sources" about satoshi, I still roll my eyes.  I've seen dozens of them by this point.  None of them actually know anything.  It's all just a cry for attention.  Not interesting in the slightest.  It's actually not healthy for other forum users to be providing positive reinforcement for that kind of behaviour.  Don't encourage them.

If you are polo7/cryptoboss2020 then I'm pretty sure more information won't help you.  You're still going to find the wrong end of the stick it and grab it firmly with both hands.  You have as much access to information as the rest of us, yet you're still here talking nonsense. 



Knowing where money comes from is not a prerequisite to make money.  If you offer goods or services and sell them in exchange for Bitcoin, you make money.  Mission accomplished.

Maybe these institutions have an impact on bitcoin's price but you forgot the most important one imo. The one that provides the liquidity; bitfinex/tether. Imo Bitfinex/Tether has the most impact on the prices because almost all trading is happening on the tether/crypto pairs. It makes sense to think they control the markets right now. They can print as many tethers as they like to buy everything on the markets and then dump to crash the markets.

What about me? I already know what is btc and how things operate without knowing the true identity of the founder of btc but I know if who created btc, that is Satoshi Nakamoto. We can learn everything in bitcoin online, no need for us to see the founder in real life. Btc is created for the people to have a currency that is free from banks, so it's impossible that it is created by banks. A bank creates money but it doesn't mean that every currency comes from them. Cryptos are a different kind.

@avikz obviously they will approach satoshi and ask him if they can have an autograph but seriously maybe they have questions in mind that only satoshi can answer.

You made the right thing of differentiating between control and manipulation. The idea of controlling is quite different from manipulating...anybody can manipulate the market in such a way that the price movement of a certain currency can go up or go down depending on what that person or organization is doing. In case a person has a bulk of BTC, he can sell and the market can be reacting to it negatively so the price go down...or one can buy a lot of BTC and the result is that there can be a spike in the price of the coin. On the other hand, the idea of control is that there is somebody who can be in charge and this is true with the government's central bank or Fed in the case of USA - with centralized power behind it all. Now, do we really have such a thing in Bitcoin? Or maybe this is just another pigment of someone's imagination who is fed up that he can't be manipulating the market himself alone?
