Monetary manipulation cannot be subverted by Bitcoin if people do not use Bitcoin as money. I'm not saying that it wouldn't be useful in this regard. I'm saying that a prerequisite for it to *actually be useful* in this regard would be that it be a general medium of exchange.
The problem of Bitcoin's lack of privacy is a significant obstacle to it's acceptance as a general medium of exchange.
