This is what happens when news agencies just copy stories from each other, instead of actually doing their job and verifying the actual sources of any particular story.
In this case it was clearly poor journalism that caused this little tidbit of misinformation getting spread, but sometimes it's also the crypto companies themselves who are spreading fake rumors.
I would't have agreed with you if we had not been seeing something like this before and I wonder what people intend to gain on passing wrong information which would be disproved in a matter of hours. Just like what was reported few weeks back about Samsung now accepting bitcoin in some countries in the world whereas, it as a case of a particular crypto start making the opportunity available where people can buy their Samsung products with crypto while they made the purchase. I maintained that until when there is an official release from Samsung website on the acceptance of crypto there is nothing to be joyous about.
In as much as we are not pessimist to good news and developments happening around the world of crypto in terms of adoption, there is need to be truthful with news being paraded because without that, its just making credibility a scarce commodity in the cryto space and when that happen, trust is gradually being eroded which is not good for anybody.
