This fake news is why we can't have nice things

Someone posts fake news. We all jump on it. Many FOMO into whatever coin is being pumped. Those setting up the pump and dump quickly jump out right after the initial FOMO.

A few minutes later, it becomes apparant that this was fake news. Markets drop, usually even further than they went up on the news. Why? Because this hurts crypto credibility

No one is going to take crypto serious if we're seen as moonboys, if people see crypto as being filled with scams, as being all about pump and dump schemes.

I'm not even sure where I'm going with this. I'm just getting really tired of all this speculative price action, rather than a true focus on what good crypto can do in the world, on fundamentals, and on true adoption.
