Proceed with caution
As exciting as is the announcement of WeChat, investors should be cautious as it is possible for the bulls to get ahead of themselves.

This statement is categorically wrong.
It is unclear to what extent investors engage in this misinformation, but given the small trading volume of NEM, it would not be surprising that cryptocurrency has been corrected once traders have made a mistake. .
