Avoiding spreading false information because that's leading the community to react quickly.

And if you caught someone spreading that type of info then you have to inform him that he shouldn't do that. As you've said, he needs to validate his information first before spreading it. We know on how quick news are spreaded throughout the web.

The whole thing about false information is not only related to the people of the community but also is something that the mainstream media is a big part of it. We cannot avoid it, it is the digital age and information can easily be passed quickly electronically without being able to hold anyone for it. This is where as an investor, you need great deal of knowledge, ability to do some good research on your own, have a great idea of all that is needed, to be able to make the best of the space as much as possible.

Yes, this mainstream media is adding fuel to the fire.

We may not avoid it but the effect of that in the community is huge. As part of the community for few years, if there are some false news I'm just completely ignoring. But the main concern are the huge number of newbies that aren't aware of this and they are buying on those.

We have experienced in past when the mainstream media used to talk about the advantages of Bitcoin and then suddenly when it changed it's stance in a few days when BTC price was a little dropped. There were some leading business channels that propagated negative things about Bitcoin causing a panic resulting it's price sharply gone downwards.
This is not easy to judge a news especially for the inexperienced people. But false news always have damaged things in every era.
There is a saying in my language which means till we know the truth, lie would have done the destruction. Same is the case with cryptocurrency.
