Actually I think there is something to be said for the role of search engine algorithms in shaping the information received by various actors in the cryptocurrency phenomenon. FWIW here's my results for "bitcoin crash":

on reddit or something
I search "1 BTC to GBP" for my own amusement and I get loads of Express stories, one Sun, one Telegraph. I try not to visit any of em.
So basically my search engine has quite a low opinion of me.Actually I think there is something to be said for the role of search engine algorithms in shaping the information received by various actors in the cryptocurrency phenomenon. FWIW here's my results for "bitcoin crash":

Absolutely the same person.
The curious, controversial life of John McAfee just got way more complicated
I had dealings with him a few years ago on another site. He’s as mad and paranoid as they come and really needs to lay off the amphetamine based drugs.
Still, his prediction of BC = $1million by 2020 ought to please The Fornicator
Well, $100k by the end of 2018 is right in line with that of course.

People who are interested in / buy / sell bitcoin and other crypto "currencies" are all online and getting all their news instantly and trying to find the newest and most important story as early as possible. I wonder how easy it is to manipulate people like that?
I wonder if the Express and Sun have any particular interest in these values

Express, Sun and values all in one sentence.

Might be something to this - as in people who've bought btc may be more suggestible so a good demographic for advertisers.

I'm buzzing. Already booked a space flight and a couple of shifts with Stormy Daniels.

I do not subscribe to any idea that the Sun and Express have value!

If I running the space program, dealing with the likes of you I'd have demanded the money in Escrow and strict cancellation penalties

It's all good - perfectly normal volatility for a non-fruadulent ponzi scheme, just ask market expert Mr 'tulip bubble' Madoff.

Just out of curiosity The Fornicator can you imagine a value of bitcoin reached sometime this year at which point you'd think maybe this wasn't a brilliant investment after all?

As previously mentioned, BTC is not the whole game any longer. If Lightening works well it may recover ground, or it may not - is it Amazon or is it mySpace. The game is blockchain and crypto currency, this thread is 'BTC talk'.
I can’t even tell if this is self-deprecating irony or not.

Of course you can't, not with your head up your arse.

Going to be interesting to see what happens, is all I can say - one narrative says bitcoin is a planet-destroying Ponzi scheme that is going to result in a lot of Silicon Valley tech-bro types hilariously losing all their money, along with a lot of suckers who put their meager savings into buying a tenth of a bitcoin or whatever.
Another says that blockchain is a transformative technology and people with the courage to hang on to their cryptocurrencies for long enough are going to end up as wealthy as early investors in Apple.
My prediction is for something in the middle: Something related to blockchain probably will replace traditional currencies in the richer countries in our lifetime, but today's cryptocoins won't be worth any more than the seashells or whatever people used as currency a thousand years ago. Most of the Winklevii, etc. will probably land on their feet, those lower down the food chain won't be so lucky.

What is this if it is not deflection?
Being middle-class is not a prerequisite for being sceptical. I do not fall into this category by a long stretch but I'm not seeing anything that inspires me with the confidence to buy into cryptocurrency.
