You may well be right about Bitcoin at and many of the other alts but I strongly believe that Steem and IOTA will ride out the storm. As I said, Steemit has created its own eco system and IOTA is being accepted in major companies worldwide
I am sure there is manipulation in the markets as it would be naive to believe there was not especially since the market is still relatively small compared the stock market.
Good luck with your profits and I genuinely mean that but if the crypto movement dies I think it will be a sad day for the world as I see no alternative to defeating the corruption of the banks and the whole financial system. This is why I am so angry and disappointed at the scammers and hackers who are now the biggest threat to a dream of so many who genuinely wanted the world to be better place. As long as the banks control the world mankind will be permanently enslaved. Perhaps the young already know this and is why they are no longer wanting to bring children into the world. Like I said, the greedy always always kill the goose that lays the golden egg. 
Thanks for your input albeit a sad one.
