News like this about bitcoin is not new at all, now that we are at the bull season, and for those who easily believe in what the media feed them without taking a deeper look, bitcoin is still not for them. If newcomers withdraw just because of the fud they heard from the media, it's their loss and not for bitcoin. The media can be manipulated by powerful people out there especially the government, and it can affect people's mindset towards it but in the end, we can still see the growth of bitcoin adoption from the public. So for me, the negative speculations usually just last for a short period, then people will again realize bitcoin's capabilities.
