Because right now there is fear amiss
One of the largest bitcoin companies, Bitreserve, has gone so far as to claim that bitcoin will no longer be around in five years. This is large and damaging talk indeed, particularly when the company recently raised almost $10 million to grow and further expand its core services. If what Bitreserve says is true, why go through all that? Why not just cut ties with digital currency now?
It looks like they have an agenda. And this agenda is apparently to instigate panic selling and buy even more bitcoins when the price goes down. But talk is cheap, and so far the price has been rising, step by step, and their words have seemingly been interpreted in the opposite direction that they expected. But they might as well have been expecting exactly that, since who knows for sure?
That could be right. The bitcoin price is rising now. That makes me think the previous fud is just to get cheap coins.
