I wouldn't be surprised if some groups ramps up the call for better crypto regulation and that would encompass these fake news disguised as errors. There are no real negative repercussions for releasing false and misleading articles at the moment so the likes of Bitpay can do it and still get away.
This is the recommendation I hear from some users last time. Regulation or an increase of it. They think it will curb these issues down. I think it's funny if they call it an error. That was too unusual.
But, it can be more like of a manipulation. It's not expected though from someone who is established already in the crypto field. Really? They are risking their reputation only for some quick gains? Theses guys should be a good example so that we can encourage more crypto users but it looks like they are a big threat now. I think there is a repercussion already for the fake news because it's already an issue in the past on many social media sites.
