Learning cryptocurrency is just a journey. It will not be completed I think. Since this world is really vast. However I think you can get so many resources from google. And for any complex issue you can post here.
I haven't found any news regarding this from any trustable source. it's a huge market so fake newses spread almost everyday, don't let this news influence your decision until you get any confirmation.
there is no old coin or new coin issues there is plenty of opportunities are in cryptocurrency so you never know which one gets the better market, just because a coin is new and fancy it doesn't mean it has better facilities.
