ETFs change this
They give A LOT more people access to #Bitcoin
Everyone with a brokerage account can now buy the dip if there's any kind of manipulation downward
If whales want to sell they can - there is unlimited demand from people who have no exposure to Bitcoin yet
Grayscale has been dumping thousands of coins on the market every single day, and yet the price has barely moved
If Blackrock tries to manipulate the market by selling their customers' Bitcoin, they are taking a massive risk
There are too many people with NO EXPOSURE to Bitcoin right now
These people are sitting on the sidelines waiting for a lower price
There are sovereign nations who want to buy as much as possible
This is why the price hasn't gone below 60k (yet) after it went above the previous ATH, and I don't think it will (who knows, maybe I'm wrong, only time will tell)
If Blackrock sells its customers' Bitcoin, THEY MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO GET IT BACK
Institutional investment adds liquidity to the market, meaning manipulation is much more risky and much more difficult
It's everyone for themselves
Price will have to be pushed upward to incentivize current holders to sell some of their holdings and redistribute to new investors
