Have you seen that MIT technology review explaining 3 ways to destroy Bitcoin ? It is from a month ago.
Well I won't discuss that, but briefly, imo they have too much imagination, for real, it's all biased.
So basically, even with this news the prices went up from about 7k at the time to the prices that are now. I learned that Bitcoin prices usually fluctuate due to bad news, but I started to follow prices only this year. What kind of news would make the prices decrease ? Anyone remembers one ?
If you have noticed a trend in when these sort of articles always come out, it is always when bitcoin isn't doing well, probably in a bear market, and someone publishes negative news surrounding bitcoin. Never in a bull market will you hear these types of things.
Not all news articles will influence prices, and none of them, especially opinion pieces like this that speculate on BTC's future, will have a longlasting effect on bitcoin. If you're talking about bullish news, it could be a well known public figure getting into bitcoin, a major institution starting to trade BTC, any of these things.
The rally right now is created by the fact that support at $6600 levels are tested and they seem to be quite steady, which made this rally possible. It's also fueled somewhat by Tom Lee's predictions of a bull market.
At the end of the day, try not to be influenced by market sentiment or news articles like this that is created in the spur of the moment.
