3rd, NEWS should be SENSATIONALIZED. If there is no unique subject, it won't be the talk of the town. Due to the popularity of BITCOIN, the said cryptocurrency can be the subject of wrong speculation and biased reporting.
It is a wrong way to use the word 'BITCOIN' in the alleged 'Bitcoin Scam'. Due to GREEDINESS of money, people got involved with the company involved for being promised to have their money doubled in two weeks. They didn't even care how that company could sustain its operation. People were blinded of the PROMISES, the high yield interest or return of investment in TWO WEEKS. In this case LACK OF CRYPTOCURRENCY EDUCATION is the missing link.
The "ALLEGED LOCAL COMPANY" collected money from the public without a legit business platform to generate profits. This is simply constant conception of what had happened from the previous firms. the sole distinction now could be they use the renowned digital currency that is bitcoin.
