It's not really fear- it's trying to strangle a baby in it's crib, and worse, a lot of them are buying crypto on the side.
I don't think they are trying to strngle the bby. I think they re locking it in the cellar. The best way to limit the expnsion of Bitcoin is to own most of the coins. Why do you think the original coins have never been spent? They talk the price down, so that they can buy and hoard more coins.
