I'm not sure if in the future Bitcoin will be the digital currency that helps everyone in the world, but hopefully Bitcoin can be said that way in the future, a lot of negative issues that lead to bitcoin now, and not many people think that these issues are related to falling Bitcoin prices. Bitcoin alone in my opinion can be said to be not safe to be chosen as your investment instrument. Apart from uncontrolled price fluctuations and only relying on speculation, bitcoin is also not protected by legal institutions, therefore there are not many crimes found in Bitcoin itself.
The existence of phishing, scammers and others, one of the reasons why fraud and closing of fake companies often take on the name of bitcoin investments is because of its decentralized nature. That is, bitcoin systems that do not have central authority to regulate their circulation. This also causes the value of bitcoin to be very volatile.
What really happened? Is it true that the price of Bitcoin is down because of these things? how to handle it? while Bitcoin itself is not protected by legal institutions?
This negativity can never be erased from the bitcoin itself. We humans, always abuse technology whatever their applications are. But, I assure you that bitcoin will be famous again when the bull run commences and many holders will be rich and believe in bitcoin once more.
Humans will always gang up on each other (and things) in order to make them work in a specific way according to their demands, or to make it fit their expectations. That's the problem with bitcoin. There's lots of good potential but we are afraid of the risks, even though there are more dangerous risks present in our everyday lives, and similar risks in the other assets we trust blindly.
The scams don't affect market price. The high profile hacks do, strictly because they are the news. The news is what influences investor sentiment.
