Bitcoin Forum

Bitcoin has been targeted once again with negative speculations over the media and it all started with flashing news when bitcoin reached its ATH and gradually publishers most possibly sponsored by government or banks are trying to question bitcoin's stability and we see new articles everyday stating Bitcoin is going to drop massively and all. This definitely affects nee entrants into Bitcoin which might lead them to withdraw it.

This time they are not directly targeting bitcoin but gradually.

For me, people already learned their lessons for the past few years especially when Bitcoin did parabolic run last 2017, we saw a lot of FUD before and made Bitcoin dump a huge percentage and become more volatile comparee these past few weeks or started Bitcoin reached $15,000 and upto breaching the 2017's all-time-high.
FUDs are everywhere, it will now matter how people will manage it.

It's mostly by high investors gold platform. They hired tv news anchor to do that as well as newspaper aside. Add. Nowadays you will see social media influencers also engaged to making & spreading fuds on tweets as well. 2 year's ago it was huge, bcs some big investors doesn't want to spread bitcoin value.

Well, that is being natural to me and right, FUD is everywhere and weak investors will perhaps believe them but I think everyone knows already how bitcoin will work and what is the reason that bitcoin has ATH. Even though how they targeted bitcoin by spreading FUD in social media and news, the real crypto enthusiast will never listen to them because we all know that bitcoin has limited supply and the price was depending on us as a community who adopted bitcoin to because more expensive in the market.

Yes, I am aligned with your statement as this was the exact case back in 2017 and those who did panic sell due to negative potrayal lost money and those who stood with bitcoin have earned their reward this year. I am sure there are more FUDs to come but Bitcoin community has been more saturated and mature as it has learnt a hard lesson from previous bull and bear run this we can expect zero effects by the news.

It's funny to see them say that bitcoin has crashed while it's the price was already $36,000. If they're paid articles, they should proofread it first and get the facts before publishing it because it will be noticed by their real bitcoin readers and they will also notice it.

But if they don't mind doing that, we will see more of them even bitcoin starts to pump again and reaches another all-time high. They do this every time we see some small dips and they all perceive it as a big crash through their headlines.

I have noticed an FUD on Twitter but it should not be considered important. Because we know where bitcoin is going. I am a loyal fan of Plan B. Take a look at what he thinks about it.


As we have not realized every time there is a bitcoin retracement it is very likely that some large institution is buying, the scarcity of bitcoin is already evident.

News are unfortunately not interesting unless it creates FUD. FUD sells newspapers. Crypto is in the spotlight right now because of all the money going into it. News reacts to this with FUD. No need to be surprised. 😊

This doesn't help either

Christine Lagarde saying bitcoin has been used for money laundry and other "funny businesses".
And that if cryptocurrencies are to be regulated, it must be done globally. meehh

Doesn't matter though, these negative news have short term effect on the price of bitcoin.

On the contrary, maybe those who spread false news simply wanted to bring down the price down and then buy shit loads on bitcoin, always been the case, just like what we have seen in 2017's Jamie Dimon attack. But, we all know that Bitcoin is resilient, this is not the first time that kind of attacks have been seen in media. And for those who are affected, then it's their lost.

I know that those strong believers will now easily believe in those things, we have seen this thing before this new ATH is different from the year 2017, there are already many people active in the crypto world so I don't think that bitcoin will go down below $15000, that won't happen this time, there are still many bashers of the bitcoin and we always see that in any social media platform, we should have learned our lessons from before.

Consideration should be given to which media these are and who is funding them. Nowadays, it's hard to find media that are completely impartial.

Isn't anything on the rise prone to being targetted? Especially if it was against the media/government, it isn't THAT odd tbh. The start of the era of technology back then also had these issues, and it isn't weird for there to be one right now. It's at the point where FUD is actually just part of the everyday growth of Bitcoin. Well, at the very least, the fact that they're targeting Bitcoin means that there's plenty of attention being noted to it. Let's remember how Technology was viewed with doubt back then but was still managed to integrate into our lives, I'd hope for the same to happen with Bitcoin tbh.

Its not a surprise that bitcoin being targeted by some of scammers this past days.now that bitcoin has risen its value many scammers would interest in bitcoin. Holders of bitcoin must extra careful in securing their digital wallet or storag.

From my perspective, The governments and banks might be wondering why bitcoin is continuously making stability and growth during the pandemic of COVID-19 because the banking system and stocks have suffered, and bitcoin and cryptocurrencies don't. So the media starts to targeted bitcoin and makes false accusations again, but this won't affect bitcoin's price that much because the mass adoption will stay.

Nothing new here, same old same old. Every time bitcoin is low, they write obituaries. When it starts pumping they change the narrative and then they give crazy predictions and at the sign of the first correction they switch back to obituaries once again. Rinse and repeat.

Bitcoin has a lot of enemies which can surely push FUD into the media. I'm talking about stock markets and banks, traditional investors. But another thing is that the media works by announcing something which is a big deal, and people tend to be more engaged when something bad happens that when it's something good, so journalists have to come up with ways of presenting their news as if something risky is happening. For instance, when Bitcoin was still way above the ATH of the previous years, but the price went down to $30k, there were lots of news like this: "Bitcoin falls as record-breaking rally loses steam" (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/04/bitcoin-price-falls-as-record-breaking-rally-loses-steam.html). So while Bitcoin was still doing unbelievably well, they created this image of it doing terribly. I don't even blame them, they're just doing it because they need ratings.

It is inevitable.

Bitcoin is the enemy of legacy banking.

If you were the owner legacy banking, you wouldn't like it too. Why would they let you send/receive money without using their infrastructure? Their other option is regulation which is more or less as harmful as banning it.

Some of this media campaigns are likely to be orchestrated by institutional investors who need to fill their position. You see... having big pockets has its disadvantages. They need to engineer liquidity from somewhere and they do it by creating bearish sentiment. Retail investors bite the trap and they feed into their positions. My suggestion: be careful about where you place your stop losses.

LOL news like that is only made to disrupt bitcoin. They just want to buy bitcoins cheaply. What they are doing is only to benefit their side. Currently, several large agencies and companies are buying bitcoin in large quantities and more and more are investing in bitcoin. Evidenced by the price of bitcoin that continues to reach its latest ATH. FUD like this has become common news when the price of bitcoin is getting higher. We'll see what happens next.

indeed with news about bitcoin that leads to negative news, it is mostly to lead an ordinary investor to panic and sell some of the bitcoin assets they have, and that person can buy bitcoin at a lower price, of course, because of these ways. This method is usually done by someone to be able to influence the price in the market, but it is not easy to be able to reduce the price of bitcoin at a lower price, with more demand and more people investing in bitcoin, it will be difficult to drop the price. bitcoin at a lower price of course.

Its also like this the last time Bitcoin had a bull run. Everybody or most people that has no knowledge about it called it a bubble that would just suddenly pop out of its current value but its really unlikely to happen for Bitcoin to lose its value. This might affect Bitcoin but its only for a short period of time and we can see it on the graph because some of this negative speculations are really affecting the demand of Bitcoin.

I don't think it was made intentionally when the price dropped to 30k from 40k the majority of Investors were shocked because we never saw such a massive drop previously it's was almost 20% isn't this a big drop? and did you thought this was just a correction? I think that's the reason there was huge panic sell and most of the people came across so many articles.

Social media and news are a big market influence. They can make FUDs easily for business. These people never know actually what is Bitcoin and what in their minds are all out of reality. I'd rather smile with them because apparently, they are wrong. Some business competitors are targetting back to crypto again particularly for Bitcoin because that is the only way to win and survive from this market change. Those who accept their losses are adopting Bitcoin already and that supposed to see also for the rest but somehow, some people never accept. They will do something to ruin Bitcoin.

The more Bitcoin price grew, the more FUD we will witness in the media. Just ignore it and try to figure it out how to make more coins :)

This will result to Bitcoin going to end up in the hands of people who are aware of media spreading false information. Those people who believes in them will lose the chance to own some coins.

The fud also will make investors wait for the price to dip at least back to the strongest support before buying BTC for big profits upon selling.

I think they will need new tactics because as for that approach, people are now used to it thus will hardly be moved. Over the years, many trash has been published about Bitcoin, and we watch the price struggle during such times and most people will sell and most will hold, and at the long run those who held ends up becoming the winners with the current price of Bitcoin. The fact is, the growth of Bitcoin so far was a big surprise to a lot of people, they didn't expected it and to some, they see Bitcoin as rivals Instead of looking for ways to get involved with it, thus it is this set of people that spreads thrash about Bitcoin, but nowadays it won't work again, as the lesson has been learnt by many people, which is, till date Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency whose value will keep growing as years goes by. Lastly, when I come across such news or publications, I don't pay attention to it.

We can't deny the fact that this kind of scenario already happened during 2017 bullrun. It normal that people will be scared on this kind of pump since this event occurs already which is possible to happened again right now. Its important to trade and always watch on the price.

It's more painful to sell in loss rather than selling too early  in profit.

I do not think so that media can make any negative affected news for bitcoin. Remember we have now elon mask for our support in cryptocurrency. I think elon mask is the reason that bitcoin cross It's all time high price records. And elon mask is our another hope who can shows the world that how powerful is bitcoin. And if he covers something about bitcoin then world will be comes like bee for bitcoin. Just think if Elon mask announced he is going to take bitcoin, eth, litecoin, xrp or some popular coin as a payment for any tesla product. So just think what will be happen in crypto market. Soo do not worry guys if government has media to share negativity about crypto then we have elon mask to spread positivity about crypto.

It was not a new issue, hatters always targeted Bitcoin because they are jealous of the improvement of Bitcoin. Even I suspect SEC targeted USDT in order to attack Bitcoin as well. They never stop until they have no idea to attack Bitcoin, so stay strong and keep our Bitcoin. I think the significant growth of Bitcoin holders, supports Bitcoin to survive stronger.

Don't be sour about this kind of information.  It is obvious, when something surges fast,  the next to happen is either a correction or a price crash.  I would love to see a correction though than the price crash since the continued surge of the price of Bitcoin will make it somehow unstable and possibly crash really hard.

I have theory regarding this case, there some powerful people who got access to the social media and they want to buy bitcoins for cheaper price to get some benefit out of it. Here they will spread some negative and even fake words/news regarding bitcoin to make the price fall a bit, so they can buy bitcoin at cheaper prices. A true bitcoiner who is investing on it since years won't pay attention to these kind of news and start panic selling.

News like this about bitcoin is not new at all, now that we are at the bull season, and for those who easily believe in what the media feed them without taking a deeper look, bitcoin is still not for them. If newcomers withdraw just because of the fud they heard from the media, it's their loss and not for bitcoin. The media can be manipulated by powerful people out there especially the government, and it can affect people's mindset towards it but in the end, we can still see the growth of bitcoin adoption from the public. So for me, the negative speculations usually just last for a short period, then people will again realize bitcoin's capabilities.

You shouldn't be surprised OP cause whenever the Bitcoin market is gaining more traffic with surge in price it is going to be targeted by every background (the hacker, governments, banks, online scammer etc) investors just need to be more careful but I don't see the negative article posted about Bitcoin to be the reason behind the current trend the market because the market have simultaneously experience pump in price and at some point market correction must occur.

It is clear that BTC is an internet currency that has been proven over the years and has passed a lot over the years. It is important to understand that BTC, like other cryptocurrencies, does not have a fixed value, and those who cannot understand what has been recommended for years will not disappear so easily in an instant. Most of them are simply afraid of losing what they have now, and therefore cease to reason sensibly and lose my head. A person from fear of losing begins to lose self-control. This leads to such stupid actions. People who invest large sums need to understand these situations. For such things, this forum was invented, any intelligent owner of a crypt should know such forums and check the information on them.Since here are the same owners of BTC and other similar cryptocurrencies

Now how far did their stunts affect the market this time, the effects aren't that noticed anymore as the game is now old and we're getting used to it. Also the new enthusiast are already aware of this tricks as most of them must have been watching via the sideline before finally picking courage to come invest in the technology. The market has some maturity in it now as more funds and experience has come into the market.

The fud aren't affecting the majority to some extent anymore comparing to previous years especially prior to the 2017 market boom that later ended with huge dump the next year. The following three years of bear market has made many stronger and increase their patience capabilities.

The nooms are also in good hands as they'll be recieving guidelines from the earlier adopters to learn/listen to the advice they have to give.

But there are still many comments on the positive description of Bitcoin. Bitcoin, a new form of investment, will certainly not satisfy everyone, but cryptocurrency and blockchain will eventually become the mainstream of investment in the world, and it will affect everyone. .

It is not surprising anymore to witness bitcoin getting negative feedbacks from people. Bitcoin has been dominant ever since and almost everyone right now is patronizing it since its value has been very high so far. Those who didn't believe in it and witnessed it go to new heighst are probably the first one who are bashing it cause they weren't able to recieve such rewards like those who kept their faith strong on it. Bitcoin will always stay dominant, no matter how much hate it is getting from the criticizers.

Those who had seen it before will just ignore those negative feedback. Those who started believing BTC will just think they believed those negative feedback years ago and regret listening to it.  Its annoying sometimes but can't do anything about it. They have been hearing BTC since 2010 that it will die and they didn't bother to really why it wasn't been buried.

Maybe.  The asynchronous market movement this week leads me to believe that, like two years ago, Asian countries have always had a tendency to move blockwise into bitcoin, and that may not be healthy for a  Good support for the price of bitcoin at this point.  And I think this is also one of the appropriate and good reasons to step.
Every stroke in the altcoin just recently has been somewhat proven.

Lots for sure to those who have doubted bitcoin on early years if they do try to look on whats the current price then they would definitely be having those kind of regrets.
For targeting bitcoin then it isnt something new into this market.It had been always given out negative image via media or other government as well about bitcoin.
They are trying to degrade it down or looking it bad into those people into their vicinity or scope but even though this happen, these people would sooner or later
able to uncover the beauty and  advantage when you do deal into this market.You would  see opportunities and  benefits that centralized stuffs cant give out.

I think this is what we see every time not just now but it has happened like that in the past. When bitcoin set a new ATH, for me any serious and bitcoin investors would not be worried because we know they will take advantage of the drop in price to fill their own wallet and wait for the right moment to sell it is a strategy. Do you know the same people in government are also part of institutions buying bitcoin as a body or individuals. If famous people like elon musk believe much about bitcoin so who are those people to report negative news

I think this is part of the market now, that is, we have seen all these for quite a number of times, both the Media and government etc, can spread any news they want just create an impression which doesn't make sense, and also, from time immemorial till now, they have been sharing all these bad news and yet Bitcoin was  able to reach a new ATH that is enough to tell them that Bitcoin value is far beyond what they can just bring down or control. In the same way, I think people who have gone a long way with Bitcoin should understand by now that Bitcoin has come to stay and no matter what anyone says, or do it will still be here and will keep surprising them.

News have a huge potential to affect the market price negative news will make people sell there bitcoin or maybe some will go for a different method like just reinvesting and going for just a short term investment for a low risk investment. And also positive news and influence the price to increase easily also like what happened because of elon musk bitcoin bio from that we can see how it affects the market and the traders. There was a big risk in investing because of the volatility of the market people are saying that it could be a huge scheme because if someone could sell a huge volume of bitcoin it could crash the market but it common that investing in cryptocurrency is risky.

I think every type of businesses that is growing had something like this but Bitcoin is different, fudsters may be doing everything they can to make a bandwagon of weak-hands but that's just it, they can't take it down as long as there are people supporting Bitcoin. And I think it's part of the process where there's a bad news and good news in order for it to grow.

I think we all know what are the end point of these people spreading bad rumors especially in Bitcoin and that is to create a fud. This is happening every now and then but still there's no way it's losing to them and now that we have big names showing on the news accumulating Bitcoin every now and then, I don't think these fudster can make a move that would surprise us Bitcoin enthusiasts.

People are easily be manipulated by the government if they are not that knowledgeable or aware about what bitcoin really is.

It really depends on the investor on how he will manage those kind of negative speculations in the internet.

FUDs are like a virus, it will make your investment weaker and much problematic so learn how to deal with it so that you can somehow still control your behavior in the market.

It is clear that after being in crypto for a long time, people are starting to be smart about managing everything well so that it is not easy to be exposed to things that can propagate an already established establishment.
bitcoin deserves a decent price and it has been proven and will continue and will create its newest ATH again this year.



I think crypto users are no longer easily manipulated by anyone, especially by the government, they increasingly understand and can sort out what is acceptable and what is not. investors can only play the movement with the ability they have but not all can be in line and will determine whether it can make something negative will affect the whole.

the behavior of cryptomania has been well educated over time they are able to sort out which one is good to follow or not and are not always affected by issues that they cannot just believe, because experience will continue to make people more thorough in every step of the way.
