We can't rule out the role of journalists in the cryptocurrency markets. They are in one way or the other responsible for some of the FUD and FOMO which affects Bitcoin and altcoins. However, it is quite shocking to know that most of these journalists are forbidden by their employers to HODL any cryptocurrency.
I found this on the Twitter page of @CZ_Binance today:
I learned most journalists are forbidden by their employers to hodl any crypto. Should they be forbidden to own fiat if they write about trade-wars? So now, we have journalists who have never done a single blockchain transaction writing/"teaching the public" about blockchain.
