As shared by @bitconspiracies , cryptonet outlined some points that states that there was a secret plot by the ethereum project group or there might have being a conspiracy by the ethereum creator.

As you all know the founder of ethereum is vitalik buterin who is a russian-canada programmer and also happens to be the co-founder of one of the most populous cryptocurrencies, ethereum.

There was previously a news that went round about a months ago that the co-founder of ethereum vitalik buterin died in a ghastly car accident ,which started going round the media and started causing an uproar of affliction.

Ethereum investors was said to have lost about $4 billion promptly when the hoax of vitalik`s death broke out, this was said to have being caused by most people selling off all their ethereum immediately they heard the news.

it was said that some big investors quickly invested in ethereum while the price was extremely low because of hoax that had caused panic and made lots of people to sell off their ethereum on various exchanges and drove the price of the cryptocurrency really down.

People believe that it was a conspiracy by the ethereum foundation to get the price down for some investors and get it at a low cost, could it be true ?

Vitalik later tweeted a photo on twitter which made it known to people that he is still alive, some people also believed that vitalik is a member of a secret cult or societies which worked with vitalik to spread the hoax. Because as a creator and founder of Ethereum, Buterin knew all the weaknesses of cryptocurrencies and how they react to this kind of news. May be these secret societies had something to gain with that hoax and they did achieve their goal successfully.

So what do you think of this weird drama ? could it be true that there was really a conspiracy? share your thoughts below on the comment section. Don`t forget to upvote and resteem for more thoughts on this..

Stuff like this happens all the time in crypto finance; there are "pump-and-dump"-schemes as well as "short-and-crash"-schemes going on all the time. It is very likely that such news are pushed out by someone holding a short-position. I don't think it's more likely to be the Ethereum foundation than anyone else.

sure, what i also think
