So do you think even bad news about crypto in the wider media will drive the market up in the long run becuase it makes people aware?
Yes, because as we compare then and now, the price of bitcoin goes up drastically and one of the reason is that many people get involved in bitcoin community which results to higher demand. Although there are times that its price goes down unexpectedly like when the issue about china banning ICOs released, we can still expect a rise in its price because of this involvement of more people in the community.
