I think what happened with this fud made many people and many traders panic and made them sell their assets at very cheap prices so that those who spread bad news could buy coins at very cheap prices.
FUDs only affect those who pay attention to them and most of the FUD, is not something someone with a sane mind would even want to pay attention to in the first place as they are usually unrealistic.
The market has been trending since inception, we were around a thousand last year and we are trying to make a bottom at $6k and even if we go lower, one certain thing, is that with this market maturing daily, more people wanting to step in, the possibility of seeing the market get huge in the long run is still there most especially when we start seeing usage in real life. FUDs are only for the losers as far as I am concerned.
