I personally don't believe any of these claims as they are not backed up by any evidence or factual data. I believe that the prices of crypto coins are based on market forces of supply and demand and can be affected by news and speculation. And I believe that we should be cautious when investing in any cryptocurrency and should thoroughly research the project before investing. It is also important to understand the risks involved with investing in any asset and to never invest more than you can afford to lose.
That is true, we have seen plenty of examples where speculation and manipulation happened via media and we had to deal with it. I know that it is not going to be easy, and I know that it will take some time but that's the reality and we should learn to live with it. I am not saying that we should be forgetting about potentially having any type of improvement on our perspective of bitcoin, but when media works this hard to change ours, it is a very hard work for us to ignore that as well.
This is why market moves whenever there is a big news, up or down it doesn't matter it moves based on what the media says and that's an important part of it for sure.
In this case what you said is true but back to the context now focusing on Shiba and the influencer that the OP told I don't even know who it is by saying Shiba will go up to $50 this is just another attempt to pump as well as bring some naive people to speculate more tall. there is no problem with that, it's just that in this case I feel sorry for beginners who don't understand anything if they are deceived, so this method is really sickening for me personally.
