I'm not sure, but in such a market condition, who else does agree that the government used a hidden identity and joined the crypto market to accumulate a large number of bitcoins, then sold it to affect its price? Or can the gov hires a couple well known personality to rule the every day news and kill it slowly?
I don't think government will going to do that thing in the cryptospace. They should learn first the basics of this market and actually it is not a big threat to their society so no reason to interfere too much about it.
