The issue simply is not speculation there appears to be a
botnet purposely devaluing bitcoin,I wouldn't be so quick to disperse the fact this or around sometime soon it is probably a great time to start either buying or thinking about it.
It is so bloody weird,when I asked for it at around $8 and that is what the price is at now.Might be a good time to have proper antivirus in place such as F-secure or any that can detect the bot.
