FUDs will stay as long as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies exist. This is how people/group of people attacks Bitcoin. They flip facts and exaggerate news in order to trigger panics and alike. Maybe they want Bitcoin to bite the dust for good because they see Bitcoin as a threat or they just want Bitcoin's price to decline as much as possible in order for them to buy some more at a very low price. Regardless of their motives, they want Bitcoin's price to go down. Thus, these FUDs.

The FUD itself is brought up by a madman profess to be an expert, rumor sites can make all these theories seem plausible, and unfortunately, a bunch of fools devour FUD outright, without searching for his truth. Finally, happened (Panic Sell) among them. I think, this action just the same by feeding large whales.
