This fake news propogate by some people who want to crush Bitcoin just to buy it in smaller price.
Yes I believe you are right. This could be an inside job, those greedy investors spreading fake news just to cause panic selling to the new investors out there. But even though with all this price drop, I will never lose faith in bitcoin at all.
I believe so. The fake news are aiming the newbies for they don't have much knowledge about FUD and fake news. It affects the market and most especially, the investors. I think the best way to avoid it is everyone should do their own research. Listening to other people's opinion can cause them a 50/50 decision until came up to giving up and sell low.
