I don't think they want to spread FUD, it would just cause more people to panic sell, making the price lower.
But people have the right to know, don't they?
I guess so, but people could just go to preev.com or any other website that has a bitcoin price widget on it.
I am of the opinion that several companies dump their BTC for fiat currency at the end of each year, I am also of the opinion that by the end of Jan 2015 the BTC price will break back through into the $300 arena.
I could be wrong and of course I am open to other opinions as well as my own.
That's a good observation, that could be quite possible.
