i'd think the mainstream media have their ulterior motives. when it comes to bitcoin, it's more complicated than entertaining the audience.
first, they might try to intimidate more people to turn bearish and sell their coins so that the reporters themselves can buy them cheap.
second, they might serve their respective governments and banks. these people with authority and deep pockets may be paying them to stop bitcoin from taking their authorities and profits away by reporting more bad news.
they either often say "it's not even a currency" or avoid talking about it completely. what a joke!
agreed here
The is a great opportunity to dive in and actually LEARN about crypto, not buy it because its the number one app on the app store. This period is transferring money from the impatient to the patient. Essentially Robinhood at its finest
