Today I read a comment that I found interesting to clarify. The comment made it to a user of another social network which said the following:
"I have a question Yes Vitalik Buterin dies (the creator eth) Die. Will the coin overflow and lose all our income?"
We have to return a few days ago where through the network 4chan reported on a false text stating that Vitalik Buterin had died.
For many it is not a secret that this news was a catastrophe in the world eth network where chaotic losses occurred and even saw people who sold amounts of 10,000 ETHs for 200 $ having a loss of about 50% in this fall.
It is not the first time that they happen in which they use disinformation to take advantage of people. That is why it is worth understanding some things right now.
1) Not everything you read on the internet is 100% true. A total of 80% of information you read on a daily basis can be a complete fake modified to the taste of writers to gain profits with advertising systems.
2) If the information you think can cause you great losses check the sites where the information tends to be more reliable (personal twitter, facebook personal or networks direct to the information you are trying to verify.) (In the case of the above mentioned news Vitalik Buterin reported That the information of his death was totally false minutes after being spread).
3) Check the latest information on the subject in question. And why it happens. (In the case of the ETH for nobody is a secret the great interest of Russia in investing in this currency, so it is important to understand that any strategies to take advantage of people's panic and to buy at a cheap price the currency and to achieve Remember that before this false information Vitalik Buterin at a press conference and newspapers reported that negotiations with Russia and the US had already been approved, which implied a magnificent Boom For the currency).
4) Be wary of the real and important information and try as much as possible to always verify any information you find on the networks.
