So the reason we didn't break $10K recently: It's all Warren Buffett and Bill Gates' fault!!  Angry

You hear that Average Joe?? Bitcoin is rat poison! Bitcoin is like trading tiny baby brains! It should be shorted!

Sinbad Mixer: Mix Your BTC Quickly
That is because Media always tries to manipulate people, especially investors. To be honest, I do not care about what Media says about bitcoin, not to mention that they hire analysts or experts in order to state the negative things about bitcoin so the investors do no invest in it. The problem lies with people not the Media. People have their own free will. If I had lots of money, I would have only invested in bitcoin and nothing else.

are affected by negative news. because it is distorting the supply-demand balance. people are reading and are impressed by the news. they are not buying. or they sell panic. so stability is decreasing. the market is fluctuating.

Bitcoin unlikely to ever hit another record high, Barclays says
http://markets.businessinsider.com/currencies/news/bitcoin-price-will-likely-never-hit-another-record-high-barclays-says-2018-4-1021287408

Quote
  • Barclays says peak prices for bitcoin are a thing of the past.
    Analysts at the bank compared the cryptocurrency to other speculative assets and say it's only downhill from here.

"Unlike past peaks in Bitcoin prices, the survey evidence, based on our modeling, suggests that the speculative bubble in crypto currencies may have passed its peak," the bank said as part of its annual Equity Gilt report this week."

You hear that Average Joe?? It's over!!!

Even the positive articles have some mention at some point of "never invest anything in Bitcoin unless you're willing to lose it." I think that's true of any investment, but for some reason it has to be said on Bitcoin articles. Give me a break..  Roll Eyes

These articles are all bias. It's fair to say that it's a risky investment but making people panic everyday is not acceptable. They might be getting paid with lumps of money behind to state that "bitcoin is over, it's the end" and using the word total ban even its just regulation.

Probably since banks and bankers' influences in the government is pretty solid. And we all know crypto doesn't sit well in their manipulative system. Though of course, those of us who've been here for a time knows that it's quite inevitable that crypto will emerge. Give it a year or two and these fuds would men little

Oh, so now Goldman Sachs is flip-flopping again? Bitcoin is in a bubble?

Goldman Sachs investment chief: Bitcoin is definitely a bubble, Ethereum even more so

http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-outlook-for-bitcoin-and-ethereum-2018-2

Quote
"And we show the returns of cryptocurrencies against other asset classes that have been in bubble territory. So for example, we compare it to the TOPIX in 1990. We compare it to the Nasdaq in 2000. And what you can see is that, basically, these other big bubbles that we've had look like a flat line, even compared to tulip bulb prices, tulip mania in the 1600s, which was a bubble. We always talk about tulip mania. The bitcoin prices are astronomical. Then we compare that to Ether, and Ether is even more astronomical. So clearly, these valuations don't make sense to us. In addition, we think that these currencies have major shortcomings. Is there room for a digital currency, maybe sponsored by one of the major central banks like the Federal Reserve? Yes. Could it be incredibly useful? Could it reduce transaction costs? Yes. But not these ones. "

Ah yes, bringing up Tulip Mania and a potential future FedCoin all in the same article. How wonderful!

The MSM will rarely if ever print something positive about Bitcoin, but when its price goes down they make sure to put news about it right on the front page:

Bitcoin falls as one of the world's biggest cryptocurrency markets considers a bill to ban trading

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/10/south-korea-official-reportedly-readying-bill-to-ban-all-cryptocurrency-trading.html

Cryptocurrency markets are tanking after news of shutdown in South Korea
http://www.businessinsider.com/cryptocurrency-market-plunges-after-reported-crypto-exchange-raid-2018-1

You hear that Average Joe, they're going to ban ALL crypto trading in South Korea!

Sell it all now! Run very very far away!

Very well said actually, most of the articles coming from them ends in the same result, just in order to panic people so that they can take wrong decissions and the tension on the market increases.

Very similar to China's summer action.

So for years now there's this running joke, that you can spy an MSM Bitcoin 'hit piece' article by either 1) the left compliment title, or 2) by the negative note left by the very last paragraph or the last line. If the headline doesn't turn Average Joe off completely, then the author must always end the article on a negative note to make sure and sway Average Joe away from Bitcoin.

Here's a typical one:

Bitcoin is more valuable than gold — but nowhere near as stable
http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-price-surges-past-gold-chart-2017-8

I'll quote the very last paragraph:

Quote
Despite their similarities, there's one key difference: Gold has been much stabler than bitcoin, as we can see in this chart from Statista, which is based on data from Coindesk and onvista. So, for investors looking for a safe bet, the precious metal is still the way to go.

I beg you, find me one that breaks this format pattern and prove me wrong!  Grin

I don't think all of them are, but mostly.yes. i don't know what it is that they fear about bitcoin but it seems most mainstream media don't have any idea about how btc can help people.
