I think we see this sort of thing with just about all cryptocurrencies, lots of hype and excitement and not a lot of education or knowledge going on and people get FOMO that turns to FUD as soon as the price starts to waver from the highs. Not that I have an amazing knowledge base, but I try and do some research before jumping all the way into something!
Not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, hopefully as more people get involved more people gain knowledge and we eventually start to see a little less volatility/FUD, but that is likely several if not many years away!
