This is not the first time I've met people who lose money due to crypto media publications. It annoys me especially when FUD is published, and I also hate bitcoin predictions. Many people believe this without even suspecting that this is a lie or unverified information. 
Its normal nowadays because they trust the news so much and they depend on that. Everyone should remember that anyone can give their own prediction so when you believe on that you are putting yourself on a big risk. They give fake news because they are paid to do so, nothing new in this kind of system its pretty old yet many people are still falling and become broke. I personally don't want to follow any news but you have to watch out the market because it can still affect the price movement.
