The only incentive to write articles like this is to convince others to buy, consequently making more money yourself. This is a pitch, not a fairly supported argument.
Given that you're not the author and so not privy to their motives, I don't see your support for your assertion that personal profit is the only possible incentive to have written the article.
Another thing to note here is that these firms can shill any coin they like without any market manipulation accusations from the SEC, were they to do this for any other asset.
You are hearing what you want to hear and you are dead wrong.
