Washed-up rapper making FUD on BTC.

He was previously into it, even releasing a track called Bitcoin.  I think his change of heart reflects the general sentiment of the market.  If you're still hodling, are you smart with strong hands, or simply deluded?

Ayyy, This guy probably just salty 'cause things didn't end up the way he wanted to. And his song about bitcoin is terrible, he is definitely shilling it lmao. I wonder if that was his last hope.


And this is wrong, the more mainstream it gets, the better.

I really do not care what this person thinks about our crypto situation.
This young man wears 2 watches at the same time and flaunts his money  
If he doesnt say something positive about BTC then screw him  

Based on what? I understand that people are trying to attack bitcoin for one reason or another but how about the people believing it? that's something I can't manage to comprehend, just because someone is famous, doesn't mean that his words should be taken as a fact. Unless he has real arguments, he should be ignored.

A dissed track against bitcoin? Lmao.

He is just like any other noobs here thinking that bitcoin is a get rich scheme and then bail out when everything is not going their way. Anyways, I don't give a damn about this group though, they're just one hit wonders and I'm sure that when bitcoin goes on another bull run, they will again change their tune. Just another speculator who's wallet is hurting right now, lol.

It was stated as his opinion, everyone is entitled to one of those, and they can equally tailor their strategy or exit to suit their speculations ans assumptions.

There is also no analysis to support his claim, except saying bitcoin has gone mainstream and has no new investors to pump the price, this which I consider as a wrong reflection of the market.

I’m HODLING.
I’ve been HODLING (and buying) since 2014.

If morons like Soulja Boy are selling & getting out of bitcoin then it’s a good thing. No doubt they’ll all come back buying when we start the next bull run & they’ll be buying at higher prices.

Idiots shouldn’t get involved in crypto if they can’t handle corrections/crashes. Bitcoin is a risky new asset class, if you have weak hands then it’s best not to get involved.

As if anyone is gonna listen to this guy  ::) true bitcoin holders and anyone with a bit of brain knows that these type of FUD are nothing but nonsense that are published right when the prices begins to go down, nothing new here. But the guy probably just wants to see if he gets enough exposure so that everyone can hear him and then panic dump their coins so he can buy cheap...good thing it ain't gonna work.

Lol, for sure this guy buys tons of BTC when the price was at $20k.

Lot of people like him will take the lost and run away, and some years later they will cry like babies saying 'I should hold them, now is at $50k, i could double my invest'. And it's fine, let him take his lost and run away, he will not be the first one or the last one doing it. So. No problem at all.

Everyone loves it when they think it's going to the moon. Not so much during the hangover period. :D

He probably wrote that track during the 2017 bubble -- it got released on a 2018 album. Now that Bitcoin is in the dumps, he's giving it the cold shoulder and calling it dead like most of the mainstream. Like you said, it's just a reflection of the general sentiment right now.

yep, he is just an ordinary person who has despaired who has become bored with the crypto world so that he blows nonsense, I also don't care about him

We all know that when big FUD comes around bitcoin, it's time to start buying as it suppose that bottom may be closer. Also I don't think this guy opinion doesn't even matter because cryptos are not only in USA and we should not listening to random guys opinions about bitcoin and cryptos in general.

Feeling sorry for him, I'm not his fan either.

If that's what he wanted to say then it's good for the community that someone who FUDs goes out so that he can stop murmuring with his losses through creating a diss track. Isn't he aware that many claimed that bitcoin was done even before for so many times?

Yes, because crypto is not only open in the US, but throughout the world, so I ignored the FUD they did. I'm just focusing on making a profit in the current market situation.

LMAO, I was thinking the same thing as you...
Soulja Boy just another REKTers who buy BTC at 20k and thinking BTC can fly higher after reaching $20k but actually no. Then they created FUD like this to vent his frustration from losing money after buying BTC at $20k...  ;D

I was checking the article that you showed but it seems to be lacking of resources from where that news came from but I do believe that Soulja Boy is saying that. Maybe he lost a lot of money and trying to see if a lot of people would follow in his footsteps with regard to that, but mainly just FUD. The article even included Erik, kid cryptomillionaire, and I was curious in what he is doing now, it seems unlikely that someone like him would be distrusting on what made him a millionaire in the first place.

i really don't care about this. When btc still on exchange. i'm still trade and get money

it is not news, it is just you looking around to find any kind of bullshit that you can find and write some even bigger bullshit about it and post it on your useless website then post the link here thinking you are generating traffic!

and who the hell is Soulja Boy?!

Soulja boy also recently claimed that he was responsible for every big name in Hip-Hop being discovered. He thinks generic copyright infringing video games are the future and wears clothes that make him look like a caricature. I would take what that boy has to say with a grain of salt. When you see $20,000 turn into $3,000 and that's all you understand about the situation it is natural to assume it is "dead". Short-sighted individuals aren't going to benefit from Bitcoin.


Somebody doesn't understand supply and demand.

Soulja Boy says BTC is done means that he is just speaking on his personal experience maybe because he lost some money and decided to left the market for good or cutting some loss. Well, let's just understand his hurt feeling against Bitcoin. He must be hoping to really gain some big profits on his Bitcoin venture yet the market is still now bearish (though of course if you enter Bitcoin before 2017 then the price right now seems to be still some paradise). And personally I am not really familiar with this rapper and can be because I am not into the latest music happenings.

and we trust anyone who calls themselves soulja boy?

Well soulja boy has always been a fan of bitcoin in the past and for him to spread FUD will not be far from the current market crisis and he may have lost huge amount in bitcoin and at that it affecting his general view about the whole thing. I know if the market improve in the future he will still speak goog and promote bitcoin.

Hmmm, coming from the guy wo's selling a gaming console that's just a rebranded Chinese knock-off.
At 300% market value, just so you get the picture...

Yeah, he's just another washed up celebrity, he isn't even relevant any more.

This guys says a lot of things that dont demonstrate his intelligence, so I would not be concerned of his FUD towards BTC.

“I’m the hottest rapper in the game right now! Shoutout LA Reid.”
“Gang shit no lame shit.”
“Trappin out the Lamborghini Urus with pounds of runtz on my tour bus.”
“My life is a movie.”

To conclude, this guy could tell me the world is falling and I would not believe a thing he says

Soulja boy himself is done. He probably spent his millions already and needs something else. FUD the price down a bit more and then buy them all up. Probably easier than trying to make another multi million dollar record again

Well that's it lads, 10 years in and the dream is over. The leading authority on Bitcoin's direction and influence has spoken.

maybe he í right bro. the market at thí time is very bad

I will believe if he is someone who has extensive knowledge of bitcoin and who understands what bitcoin functions as. It makes no difference as most people judge the price side of bitcoin, and they say bitcoin was die or was done. A person's population does affect the condition of the price of bitcoin, but depends on someone who considers it what it is.

that's right what you say because nobody knows that the bitcoin is dead or not, because bitcoin is still worth it, it doesn't mean that bitcoin is dead when it experiences destruction like this

I just finished reading Bitcoin coming back strong this year then I saw this I did not bother to read the articles because it will not contribute anything to cryptocurrency adoption his, not the only one there some popular figures who have done that, maybe he is riding the waves of Bitcoin.

He's been a bitcoin fan before but there's a sudden change and he's now telling words that he wasn't aware of.

It's just more of his disappoint about the market and he's done with bitcoin not bitcoin's done.

Do not believe to the people who keep spreading that bitcoin is now dead,  they do not have proof and basis to support their statement. It is better if we will continue to believe to bitcoin because for us to continue receive benefits and advantages.

Soulja boy is wrong ,when things don't work out the way they wanted they start saying bad things against it, just because the price of bitcoin is not appreciating doesn't mean its dead

Youuuu. Soulja boy's washed up. He's selling knock off gaming consoles now  ;D :D

I never heard about this so called rapper before reading your post. If I understand well, this guy bought Bitcoins, maybe when it was at its ATH or close to it, and thought of it as a quick get-rich scheme, going as far as producing a song named after Bitcoin ;D
As some of you pointed out, Bitcoin price fell, this guy feels salty and started to bash it.
I don't think this guy deserves any of the attention he's getting.

He did nothing for the development of bitcoin, he was just looking for sensations as possible. However, I have a little lust when he say bitcoin is done, because in a chaotic market condition like now. This information will spread quickly and his fans will sell the bitcoin that he owns, FUD which is easy for him.

I hope everyone can have their own perspective on bitcoin, not just relying on someone else, don't just rely on someone's popularity. Investment is not something to play with, when you intend to invest, you have to be someone who believes in the investment place you choose.

He is one of those who joined the bandwagon of HYIP in the market. Well maybe he wasn't told the risk involved in bitcoin investment. This reflects a case of someone who bought bitcoin at an ATH, and banked on $40k predictions only for it to dump to $3,600. He should take some chill and rap more. We are all here and bitcoin is here to stay and change our financial transactions.

If he really has an investment in bitcoin and keeps on updating the bitcoin price movements maybe what he says is on the right side.

He is a person who is new to bitcoin (regardless of the song he created about bitcoin) a newbie only sees bitcoin on the price side. And it is very understandable if he says bitcoin is done, or other words that make negative statements for every bitcoin investor.

Now the price of bitcoin has declined again, I don't know where it came from, it could be from soulja boy or from the SEC. The bearish look likes market will continue to bite the cryptocurrency market, we should be ready to witness a deeper decline.

According to the OP source link shared, Soulja Boy is a rapper from the United State and famous in the music industry but not in crypto-industry. Soulja Boy could be dreamy because he was once o holder of bitcoin and he has tasted the sweetness of bitcoin and will return back to bitcoin when the next bull run star. No one should panic on this because Soulja Boy will buy at higher rate than what he's selling at the moment, so, don't border please ignore him.

everyone can say that, not only soulja boy can say bitcoin is done, it's only a matter of time, because the price of bitcoin will never always be high there will surely be a time when the price of bitcoin can fall and become cheap like the current conditions.

Celebrities are the last people to be trusted. In most cases, they do not understand what they say or sing. Therefore, their words and statements should not affect your opinion about bitcoin.

well everyone has his or her own opinion about bitcoin. People say what they think and feel about bitcoin but then no one can predict what will happen to bitcoin at any point in time. If he feels BTC is done good for him as for me BTC is just getting started

I think i wanted to win a Grammy award singing using bitcoin lmao well obviously things did not go the way expected and he is irritated by the current situation and he just can hold on to it, Bitcoin might be done for him but not for others thanks

I will only believe it when Bitcoin drops to 2 digits, I don't know why people are so ignorant that Bitcoin is still performing well and do not know the full history of Bitcoin to have this kind of perception about Bitcoin we are just in a bear market Bitcoin is not dying.

There will be many people having their own opinion and that is the opinion he has got and there is a trend now a days from old famous people to make things relevant they need to bash the new market and say a few words so that they will be news headlines the next day, who cares what anyone has to say for that matter, the market will recover in the next few months gradually and then we will see the same people talking about the price bubble and how it will crash and so on. :D

Hi, how are you ?


Yeah, I don't care about the opinion of Soulja boy and Finman about Bitcoin. even I don't care about all the opinions of people who say that Bitcoin will die. I think everyone can say something like that too. But I'm sure Bitcoin will never die, many people need Bitcoin. Bitcoin will continue to grow, and I will continue to buy and hold My Bitcoin until to the moon.

I think that he understands little in economics, and in the concept of cryptocurrency, but at the expense of his name he is able to make a big boom and buzz that will affect some events, in general, this is good PR for him. But in any case, I do not see anything wrong with that, people are interested in the crypt.

That's right what you say because if I think that bitcoin hasn't ended because it still has a big enough value, then just ignore what he said. maybe he said that because he was having trouble getting the profits from bitcoin now in these conditions

As what the title of this thread says SHOW THIS TO PEOPLE THAT PUT WORDS AGAINST BITCOIN

Heres the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036920.0

Never mind the losers because we are here to support bitcoin and not to blow the FUD

Everyone Like it when the Bitcoin price going to moon.it is not fair to the Cryptocurrency market.bitcoin is teh unstable market compare,so lot of people don't wait much time period.we are track 2017 year most probably Bitcoin price double.but now the Bitcoin price is down.but I have confidence Bitcoin will be countinue grow.so buy hold and Utile when the price going to the moon.

The US rapper Soulja Boy at a point last year did a rap song endorsing bitcoin and how he made gains from it so I would not believe he can turn around and go against it.
I would first have to authenticate this news

There is no way that crypto users will care about what soulja boy might say, and that would not affect the market as well. Let's just ignore whatever FUD he would spread.

Coming from the word "Washed Up" Soulja Boy is done, his career and everything, its already over, and to be off-topic he even made his own console containing NINTENDO GAMES which is hilarious, it got a copyright strike and I think it was banned and the production of the console was stopped immediately, he sold the console for a ridiculous price. And now that SB is going into crypto!? That'd be a very bad idea.

Though I like how he endorsed BTC, some loyal fans would still listen to his tracks but not me, a great guy though the people have shunned him because of his ego, hopefully BTC will help him a lot.

We wont care because we know to our selves that celebs arent the one that manipulate the market but what about other people that lacks knowledge about how crypto works ? Maybe they willl easily believe on soulja boy because he is kinda popular and had alot of followers  . this is another threat again for bitcoin  .  omg

The singer decided to keep up with the times, and make mutual PR, this is logical. Well, let it, it absolutely does not bother anyone.

"The 28-year-old rapper commented that investing in Bitcoin could be risky, saying “It’s a gamble. You’re not going to get the same returns as you would if you had gotten in on it early because it became mainstream and everybody know about Bitcoin now.”

Soulja boy also added that, in his opinion, the future of global finance is hidden within niche markets like cannabis stocks, e-sports, and electric cars."

He doesn't really saying that Bitcoin are done, he says what everyone knows, the first movers who got in early makes the highest return, and now he want to be among the first movers in things like cannabis, e-sports and electric cars.

You not going to get 1.000 X on your Bitcoins if you buy them today, but you might be lucky to find a 1.000 X in a small niche stock.

I agree with him, but I'm not selling any Bitcoins to fiat, I still believe that Bitcoin will be a good investment to have in the years and decades to comes.

Yes it could be dead to him reasons been that he did not get to the very height he expected or did not achieve what he wanted bitcoin is not done its just the beginning

He has nothing to say
What are the fundamental reasons why he attacks the btc
I do not know explicitly why people enter into things they do not know
They make a noise.
