When the price goes up, people are happy and write happy articles. When the price goes down, people are sad and write sad articles. How that actually happens is that, the people writing the happy and sad articles are different groups of people who each wait for the price to do what they need it to justify their position.
The price is down, so it justifies negative positions. When the price is up in ~3 years, there will be more people writing happy articles. When that happens I won't think they've all been paid to (even though it is obviously more likely that the group selling something has financial interest in promoting it).

- imustbeevil 4y ago> the current state of the market contributes very little to the overall narrative. You're the one complaining about the last few months of increased negative articles. If you cannot see the connection between the frequency of negative articles and the price of Bitcoin, then I'm sorry but I don't know how to communicate in braille.
- throwaway0x7E6 4y agonot a few months. a year or so, like I've explicitly said. the prices were past their mid-plague peak, but otherwise fine. and the dominating narrative up until the terra/luna/whatever crash a few months ago was climate change, not volatility. and besides, the OP blog post has nothing to do with the prices either.
