I've been noticing a strange thing for weeks now. If you open Google News and search for bitcoin, most of the articles are (very) positive: new Bitcoin ATMs showing up here and there, new people and organizations supporting Bitcoin, stories about people who became millionaire thanks to Bitcoin, etc. OK, there may be some negative articles, especially in the last week, but most of them are not.

Nonetheless Bitcoin is falling and doesn't seem to be wanting to stop.

Did you notice this as well?

No new adopters.  No incentive for current users to buy more and spend em.  Need discounts for using btc since merchants are saving on CC fees.

Miners are cashing in most of their mined BTC (3600~4000 every day) to pay their bills as difficulty increasing mining is getting more and more costly.

4000 BTC at 400$ each amount for about 1.6m$ every day.

You need a really strong buying support to get over that.

Could just be a gradual decline in interest caused by a lack of news. Not everybody that has had the Bitcoin experience have become die hard Bitcoin fans.

No, no bad news at all. I haven't even bothered to get all the links.
Try spending some time searching.

heres an idea, don't focus on the latest trends and news but take some time and study historical charts for btc. i doubt we'll ever see below $400 again. appreciate the fact that you have the opportunity to buy damn cheap coins.

Dude, did you even bother to read my post? I'm not talking about Coindesk, I'm talking about Google News which is a WAY broader source of news. Not even comparable to Coindesk.

Looking at BTC-E, there seems to be a lot of dumping in the past 4-5 hours. Before that happened, the prices were stable. The dumping decreased the exchange rate from $420 to $380.

Coindesk is the best source of crypto news for people interested in it, and thus, most people read what is there.

The masses learn about what happens in the Bitcoin world on the mainstream media and websites. 99% of the general public doesn't even know Coindesk exists.

You need a really strong buying support to get over that.

Is there any evidence that actually supports this ongoing claim?

It is totally illogical to sell your mined coins when difficulty is going up and value is dropping.
Especially when bitcoin has a low usd value you'd try to save as much as possible and only sell what you absolutely have to to come by.

Either you are mining because you believe bitcoin will be worth a lot more in which case you are doing the same as those that buy and hodl or you mine to sell for usd and in that case it might make sense to hold back some/all of your mined coins until the value rises again and you make better profits.
