Moral of the story?
Stop believing every post on Twitter or Facebook. Ignoring the fact that every bitcoiner should live by the principle of "don't trust, verify," these are gambling stories, and you could trust a gambler about this as much as a fisherman and his stories about the 20-meter 100 tons carp he just failed to catch.
Those people that spread this kind of propaganda on their page on Facebook or Twitter, what do they stand to archive by deceiving people to believe what's not real? If their flowers finds out that they are spreading false news, it can cause them lose that follower and get a bad reputation and yet they don't consider it before spreading lies. There are some news site in my that most people don't take serious anymore because they lost their credibility by spreading only click bait information and that's the same faith the users that upload such lies will face. The advice you gave is very important, people must not believe everything they read or watch on those platforms.
