Not just people like that, but the Bitcoin competitors who try to bring down Bitcoin so that his successful coins or those who are already famous in Stock exchanges who hate Bitcoin to make bad news and its purpose to destroy Bitcoin.
Well competitors aren't doing so well themselves, and some may be doing even worse, so they can't exactly take advantage of the situation lol. Competitor (mostly Bitcoin Cash lmao) trolling only really comes out in full force when they're doing well while Bitcoin is slumping.
But yeah there hasn't really been any hype since last December. You'd think the Lightning Network launch would have added a boost, but it still has a long way to go. There's really nothing to do but to increase your portfolio and/or ride it out.
