Rather: the reason price is still up is because those who hold thousands of coins need other people to invest so that the price will go up. So they pay for ads and positive reviews, to keep spreading lies and hiding the uncomfortable facts.

Tell me where I have "spread fear" without backing it up with argument.
Meanwhile I can tell you right away one of the lies that marketeers keep spreading: that "bitcoins will be extremely valuable because there can be only 21 million of them".

I agree with you, and it is disgusting. The Bitcoin cultists of course will accuse anyone who does not share their opinion but is vocal about it to be some evil external paid shill.
And oh look, at least one false accusation debunked:
