Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't these the same institutional players, who helped create the FUD we experienced at the beginning of the year to drive down the price of BTC? And now there pouring in investment? That drive down was to enable them crash the price so that they could come into the market and buy a lot, so then they can control the market because they have the largest share holdings in the market.
Probably that was gonna happen those rich people or those big politician people. They feed those broadcasters, writers, and bloggers to spread a FUD news in order to lower the price in the market and people made panic selling to sell all bitcoin holding that afraid to lose.
Since they cannot manipulate bitcoin price in the market that was mostly they gonna do, as what I have read on the article.
