If there's something that I disliked whenever prices go up, other than FUD articles, are the tons of articles that start playing the "prediction game", especially those that write an exact price.
Most of the time they're nothing but clickbait articles trying to take advantage of the overall bullish sentiment surrounding the market since the people behind these websites know that users, especially crypto newbies and btc newcomers, are now looking for news that can somehow tell them that they made the right choice (this behaviour is known as
confirmation bias) by investing during the spike in the price because the price will (allegedly) keep going up.
Just look at the shitty article this user linked. The title says "
price will touch 23500 in 2019" (massive clickbait) but nowhere in the article you can find a thorough explanation or analysis as to why exactly it will reach that exact price, their only "explanation" was: "
the year holds good prospect and development for BTC like NASDAQ launching BTC future"...What?
And then the stupidity of this article reaches its peak when they start talking about price movements at specific time frames in 2020 (with no charts or TA), and they go as far as to predict what the price is going to be in 2023! All in all, this is another website that I will now block in my browser.
