They as institutional investors with huge investment capital, will do try manipulations in Bitcoin market, for profit, but they can not, let's emphasize, they can not and will never be able to control Bitcoin network and attack the network with 51% attacks or censorship on Bitcoin transactions.

Bitcoin's main pillars for its value and success will continue its existence and won't be affected or destroyed by participation and appearance of Bitcoin institutional investors in this market.

That will lead to manipulation. These big players have resources that are much more than ordinary holders. If they want to buy thousands of bitcoins, they can do it. And if they want to sell the bitcoins they have, they can do it quickly. There is nothing that can stop them. and what they do is they can create a panic effect in the market, and that makes the price of bitcoin volatile or they can hold it and make bitcoin stay at a certain point.

Bitcoin was created not to be used as a reserve of the country. Basically, Bitcoin is an electronic peer to peer currency system that provides ease of transactions, getting good privacy.
In short, my way of thinking is that from the understanding of Bukuputih, intelligent people see it necessary if Bitcoin is used as a backup because of hedge.

I don’t think anyone wants Bitcoin to get stable in price it was never suppose to be stable, a volatile asset don’t get stable the price keeps on rotating, if more people are getting ETF approved and adding it into their investment buy options that can only bring more visibility to the currency and not price stability, the big names have gotten it approved which that have done its part in the market, for now every other approval I don’t think it can have any strong impact on the market positively price can only increase a bit but being stable it’s not possible.

Growth needs time and Bitcoin Spot ETFs brought mass new capital to Bitcoin market from OTC market to Spot market, but people will need a long time to actually feel importance of the new capital inflow from Spot ETFs. They later will realize that there are and will be more demand to purchase bitcoin with time. If they sell their bitcoins at cheap prices to Bitcoin Spot ETFs and new Bitcoin investors, they will do things like sale-off without pressure from anyone.

It's only they don't have enough believe in Bitcoin to hold their bitcoin tightly and bravely for better profit even they are earlier Bitcoin investors.

Volatility is part of a live market, a beauty of Bitcoin market and one of most attractive things of Bitcoin market. Without volatility, Bitcoin market will no longer be lively and attractively enough to investors from traditional markets.

It's expected that prices gets some stability alongside some progressive moves resulting from this but then we cannot be exactly sure as that isn't the only factor to be considered because other factors roo has an impact in the determination the effect on BTC resulting form ETF.

Now we move sideways, and we don't know for sure when we will reenter the sentiment that was back when reached 100k.
The thing that is certain is that we do have lots of opportunities to break the current status quo, we just need to wait a bit.

Both of you have made great posts here for newbie members. Keep it up If I had merit, I'd throw you one each.


Growing liquidity allows it to overcome challenges like manipulation and withstands higher volume both to the up and downside. What will be interesting is when bigger players with deeper pockets start buying (and selling), and if they've already done so or are still going.

It's happening already, albeit on a smaller scale than what's possibly coming.
And after all, ETFs are prohibiting most of the tricks many think would be viable once big guys enter the game (they are already in it, but not that deep).
That's why, I think, we can say that, in the long run, it will be good because without bigger capital and recognition from it, BTC won't reach the heights that we envision adoption-wise.
