Apr 2018 - "George Soros Is Getting into Cryptocurrencies"

Need we say more?

Maybe he has already bought in the beginning of 2017 and sold the coins in 2017 december, so in Jan 2018 he wanted to buy again, which means there was a need for a discount price, so he started to spread negative news, like the bubble one.
The price went down and maybe he has already bought back the coins e.g. in March 2018, so now there's a need for the price to skyrocket again. Now he started to spread positive news, like he's getting into cryptos.
This is only one possible scenario, of course, so we can't be sure what happens behind the scenes...

Despite this great news of Soros stepping into cryptocurrencies, the price of bitcoin dropped from $7000 to $6600 in just a few hours. Would this drop have been initiated by Soros or just coincidence?

Its just a coincidence mate. This has been the trend as of late, its like we are making 1 step forward and then taking 2 steps backward. When we are about to rally and pick it up, the market will suddenly take a turn and the price pulling back.

As far as Soros and other traditional investors getting into the picture, I don't know, I'm still not sold on them. During the peak of bitcoin, all those guys keep attacking bitcoin saying all nasty things about it. So I'm thinking that maybe they have really plans to join the bandwagon, but since the price is already steep that time, they have to do something to pull the price down so that they can invest large amounts.

And now it has been unmasked that crypto is already at their radar as well. So let's see it what they are saying is true and hope that they will somewhat influence the price if ever they have enter the ecosystem already.

I would say it's just a coincidence. Truth be told, the market is not responding to good news anymore. Right now institutional investors are waiting for regulation to become more clear, before investing again, and retail investors are probably scared since we are on a bear market.

Not saying there aren't people buying bitcoin right now, but we definitely are facing a lot of selling pressure right now. At least those that bought just for the fast profit are facing a lot of pressure, since the market keeps dropping. As for the reason for the drops, it's probably manipulation in order to keep the price low, and keep flushing all the week hands out there, just to then buy it again at a better price in the future.

Before bitcoin gets real adoption, we will probably keep seeing these moves, and the rich just keep getting richer.
To be honest we can fight this just by holding our coins. There is no reason to sell them, if we are planning for the long term. In fact, we can even do better and take advantage of the manipulation that is going on, and just keep buying after each small dip.

As for the news itself, it just shows that interest is still there, and everyone that makes their research will probably understand that bitcoin is still a good buy for the future. Let's face it, development is on the right track, so what more could we want?

This is a bit of relief  especially in a time like this where majority of the  media coverage has been about negativity. George Soros coming into the cryptocurrency market is a great step in the right direction. Because other big money bags and institutional investors/organisations will be looking to follow suit. Hopefully bitcoin would start trending positively.

This is not surprising. People knows very the potentials and opportunity of Bitcoin. Weather they are confused or not taking risk over fiat’s majority. Or maybe they are manipulating market. More people will get engaged in Bitcoin IMO.

Flying Hellfish is a Commie
No one knows if he's buying, selling, or shorting bitcoin. It just says that his investment fund has gotten the OK to get involved with Crypto, so take that as you will. I wouldn't take it as much, given that all the news companies are more into making people trade a certain way rather then giving them real unbiased news -- so I think this is simply a sham to make people bullish while it could crush us all if he shorts the market.

Who knows!!!!!!!!

When I learn that big investors like these enter a certain market, I wonder if the price decreases have been caused by them to facilitate entry into the market

That is good news to not only the Bitcoin community but the entire cryptoworld, because that would translate to the injection of more funds into the market, which would boost the price and we know whatever raises the boat of Bitcoin also rubs off on the altcoins. We would likely be seeing many of those nay sayers at Wall Streets taking back their words, as the awareness and adoption of Bitcoin keeps growing in leaps and bounce especially as the treat of very high transaction fees and delays in network confirmation are now behind us.
