It's becoming more and more obvious that the bitcoin market it's being disproportionately influenced by the super whales who can throw enough weight around to make the price go up or down with relative ease. This isn't ideal for a decentralized project that was supposed to be the coin of the people, but it seems not even bitcoin can escape wealth accumulation in the hands of a few.

I doubt the granddaddy of all the virtual coins will become more than just a way to park your money, besides price speculation of course. The days of dreaming to buy coffee with a few satoshis seem long gone. Fans of the "other" bitcoins will jump up and say that their version is better and more useful as a coin. I'm not going to argue with that, people can enjoy whatever coin they like. My point is that the "original", "el numero uno" is becoming just another thing rich people can bend to their will, and with it project control over the crypto markets in general. It's funny how things tend to centralize despite of the fact we want to decentralize them :)
