But don't forget that if they can buy low by selling massive amounts (true except if the market gets regulated, wich will be the case one day), they will also make the price skyrocket to sell at MASSIVE profit, it's also easy in the opposite sens... You buy some TV advertising (disguised or not) and you use an algo bot on Bitfinex/Binance/Kraken/Okex to increase the price continuously, then you sell after uncle joe and aunt tati has put his life saving in it ;)
Also I don't think that crashing the market to 1K USD is a good idea because you could KILL BTC forever... So maybe the bottom is 6.5K. What a wonderful time to be alive ! Please don't forget that XRP is building the biggest use case for banks. And when Swift will be at 100% replaced by Ripple (matter of time), the Ripple team will explain on TV the part two of their whitepaper wich explain that using XRP will give 60% discount to use the Ripple network for the banks (already 150 are using Ripple). At this time maybe in 1 or 5 years. Ripple will be the biggest. Mostly that XRP will be more and more scarce because of the burning process. ;)
