Price is a function of supply and demand, so trying to isolate one or the other doesn't make sense.

Why does it matter how many people are associated with a particular wallet? The wallet with $150 worth of Bitcoin has the same amount of security as the wallet with $15M, and it's considerable. The protocol itself has never been hacked, despite holding nearly $1 trillion of value.

Arguably, if someone would hack BTC, he or she would have to make sure no-one found out.

Because if people knew that BTC was hacked, the bottom would fall out under it, and all your stolen coins would become worthless.

Not to say that I think it's been hacked....
