That is true VC investors and people starting companies. People who
invest directly in Bitcoin love all this stuff.
A few weeks back a bunch of stories quoting nonsense spouted by Bitcoin
cultists that Greece can use Bitcoin now as a replacement currency and
store of value. The price went about $300 so I sold a bunch of my
coins. Now we have these stories that Bitcoin is splitting in 2 and it
went down to near $200 so I bought them back.
The point is that "developer attacks" have to be taken into
consideration when discussing these things.
