It's the ultimate manipulatable asset, and institutions are taking full advantage of this at the expense of permabulls and permabears alike. While you're all busy incoherently screeching at each other over whether it's going to $100k or to $0, institutional buyers are getting fat off of manipulating the price without any regulatory consequences. Bogdanoff pump n' dump memes were just memes until about 6 months ago, now they're actually a disturbingly accurate depiction of what's likely going on behind the scenes. The institutions aren't collaborating with each other, but there are only so many entities that hold enough BTC to make it look like a crash has started, causing some retail money to flee for the exits while the whales load up on cheaper positions, then pull a 180 and make it look like everyone is buying the dip which spurs others to do the same and jack the price up even higher than it was previously.

Not how it works, if I go to an ATM right now and take out $500 then M1 goes up by $500 despite no additional currency having been printed. M2 and M3 are slightly better depictions of actual money supply for this reason, but the increases are mostly from purchase of securities with existing currency by the government and not printing of additional currency.
