Curious: Is there anything stopping a whale from selling to himself for waaay above index price to pump it?

A market determined rate of supply would +/- with demand, stabilizing the price, but Bitcoin opted for a centrally planned rate of supply, artificially fixed in advance, so I can't see any stabilizing mechanism.

it’s a good question and i’m not sure i can answer it. i do think this sort of manipulation happens, but i don’t know if it has long term implications. it could definitely move things in the short term, cause a rally or the opposite.
