i'm reasonably new to crypto but a seasoned securities trader. it took me roughly two weeks to realize this. seems like there is a LOT of hype/marketing from sockpuppet accounts, fake articles, just a hype train often in the name of market manipulation. team evil with bcash is one that definitely comes to mind
has it always been like this or is it a fairly recent development with all the alt coins we now have, many with pumpNdump strats in place?
Good question; but its off-topic in this thread and in this forum, so I transplanted my answer here:
Fork wars are déjà vu. Please direct all further discussion of this question to that thread.
