This interview happened Dec. 3, 2017 on the high of bitcoin. His prediction about the bubble came out. He estimates the value of BTC between zero and $200. https://www.businessinsider.com/eco...n-versus-gold-price-manipulation-2017-12?IR=T
It would be interesting to see all the transactions of the big wallets over the last 2 years. As all transactions are public it would be "easy" or rather theoretically possible to find out if there was manipulation and if the big whales tried to dump their coins at the highs of last year. The brilliant thing about these crypto's is the anonimity. Who will you sue if it appears to be one big scam? This anonimity convinced me that it is a scam.
Why does it have to be manipulation? Why not just cashing out with common sense? When you are up gazillion % and the price goes vertical, you better get out.
