Fake news about bitcoin is permitted to fly but the truth remains that bitcoin is ontop of its game because of the solutions it profers to the financial industry through the power of the blockchain technology. Fake news are carried by people to reduce its price and they can get more for themselves.
At this point in time, it's not only Bitcoin that's being attacked by fake news, Fake news is seemingly everywhere, we hear more fake news about Bitcoins because we are invested in it. When we do away with fake news, we are going to see bitcoins steadily climbing.
Good point, fake news is "normal" nowadays.
Would be interesting to see how big the percentage of fake news on reputable news sources actually is.
