It is interesting to me how it seems that bad publicity, fud, rumors, news, announcements, etc in the press can have a devastating affect on markets. Sometimes these are legit sources and sometimes they are complete speculation and reports that have no basis of verifiable information and even with factual debunking of rumors the affects on the market are noticeable. And on the flip side when positive news comes out about blockchain use cases, companies utilizing the tech, the magnitude that this tech has on so many industries, and/or cryptocurrency adoption, it seems the market doesn't react in the same way. Like bad news is three steps backwards and good news is one step forward.
Do you think Bitcoins reached this price level without any manipulation ? A lot of that good news is fake as well.
