The speaker illustrated how market manipulation isn't just theoretical but embedded in ETF operations and market maker practices. When demand surges, market makers buy Bitcoin into inventory—sometimes holding assets for strategic periods—and when demand drops, they sell to maintain price stability.

The key takeaway: Market manipulation exists, but fundamental supply-demand forces will eventually break through these buffers.
