What if all of the altcoins are owned by the banks through middlemen like they are now, being used to manipulate value of bitcoin like they do the stockmarkets to rob the people using their best weapon? Fear and enough of a STAKE to manipulate the market. Crashing it and making people freak out and sell then buying again...repeat until the same people that control capital & wealth continue to control it. Just sayingthats what it looks like to me.
