ETH Hoax Caused a Crash - Ken M - Jun 26, 2017
Source: https://qz.com/1014559/vitalik-buterin-dead-a-hoax-on-4chan-crashed-ethereums-price/
Fake News on 4chan caused ETH to lose $4 billion because someone posted that the creator had died in a car accident. Definitely going to see the price recover now that he posted proof on twitter that he is alive.

Try to provide more of a textual reference in your thread instead of just posting a link.
Anyways most coins are down 10-20% now.

Although this did contribute to a small dip I don't believe that that news is whats causing this crash.

Yeah I agree, what else do you think contributed?

I really don't buy into the fact that a garbage site caused this decline. All crypto is down right now.

This has nothing to do with the price of ETH.

I didn't hear news anywhere about this hoax, plus all coins have been declining as well, probably didn't impact it that much.

This guy literally has no clue what he's talking about..
He's just grouping together the entire cryptomarket and acting like once you've invested it's gone forever.

I was wondering why I went from 2nd to 30th in the consensus leaderboards.

That means that $26 billion in market value partly depends on a 23-year-old staying healthy and alive—and providing selfies to prove it.
Yup, sums it up greatly.
