A funny thing here in bitcointalk is when a lot of negative talk about a coin occurs, many time is followed by a pump...
Maybe I am assessing this forum to high. But after my first 6 month here, I have a slight impression, that bad talk is spread totally wilful and well-directed to affect the market and the prices.
The ancient Romans asked:
Cui bono?
(For whose benefit?)
And this is what you should ask yourself by everything you read here.
Yep and that is why the one that are smart enought can also make money (not just the whales). In other word, many time (not always 100%) do the opposite of the crowd for the win.
And relax when you do it.
