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?
In the crypto market any thing can happen,government has been fighting the cryptocurrency community for a very long time,coming up with different regulations just to control the market,so there is nothing government cannot do.
