Investments in bitcoin occur daily but from this year it has surely brought many amount of investors. The only thing that I'm now scared of is that the price of bitcoin is barely growing. I just hope this pump altcoin thing stops otherwise it will take lot of time for bitcoin to grow

This pump is most likely deliberately caused by a few folks wanting to hurt Bitcoin

And it will end up as abruptly as it started, and it seems like that it is already on the verge of reversing. After it's done with, people will put their money back in Bitcoin, so the current phase of price consolidation around 1,200 dollars per coin may end soon as well and become a starting point for a launch of the Bitcoin moon rocket, figuratively speaking. We have seen a few weak attempts (in fact, I saw just one, but there may have been more) to move the price substantially below the 1,200 dollar mark, but they all failed

I also speculate that there are people behind the attempt to pull the market price below $1200. It is very evident in some threads here, creating uncertainty to create panic in order for others to sell bitcoin. It may have failed, but I don't think they will stop. Alt-coins have been pump lately (almost the top 5 are currently green), but this will be temporarily, as I believe investors are likely to put their money back in the bitcoin ecosystem

These posts now look really ridiculous

I'm curious how long it will take to come out how much all these fudsters have been paid and how such proposals are made in practice. Something like we will pay you 0.0001 BTC per post defaming Bitcoin or creating uncertainty about its future. The problem is the longer we see all these efforts, the more funds they will be consuming to move the price even 1 dollar down, so in the end it will become prohibitively expensive to spread all this fud unless some really negative news hits the tabloids (for example, Trump bombing hidden mining farms in North Korea)
