Bitcoin is much more than just a store of value. Someone in the web described it as "a philosophical middle finger to the idea of money as it currently exists, to every government issuing fiat, and to every financial institution making money out of your money." How can anyone joke about something that is making its mark in reality?

That is called a marketing strategies, they make fun, laugh and jokes of their competitors in order to market their product that is more better with the other, but even that bitcoin still hold its back and stay strong as the top among all other cryptos.

Exactly, these guy have formed a cabal to always speak against bitcoin for personal gains either by slowing the market  so they can buy bitcoin for cheap or they are launching  an ICO which they will like people to divert their investments to join but just as you said bitcoin has always come out strong in the midst of all these challenges. They might seem to be joking on tv and on the media landscape but these guys are business men and  are jovially marketing  and denigrating bitcoin at the same time.

I think, you do not have to bother bother, Promotions of this kind is pretty good. ICO is doing this kind of thing just to attract and get more investors. However, if you are a wise and intelligent bitcoiner, you will not be easy to believe in this kind of advertising.
This is called an ad in my opinion. When you have your own product, you tend to promote your product and give negative feedback to your peers.
so, yes you do not have to worry ok.

These new projects have different ways to promote their coins. Some also of course will try to praise bitcoin because sometimes when it is mentioned it also means a lot in the whole crypto market. And most of these projects are accepting bitcoins in their crowdsales.

Bitcoin is considered a standard in Crypto, all Altcoin, for using Bitcoin as a benchmark. So today, every ICO project uses Bitcoin to create the words that draw attention to the investors and create the trust that investors believe in the project.

Well that's their strategy to gather some investors to invest their ICO, I just think who will invest that ICO if their promotion gives negative to bitcoin, what a bad promotion.

They are not making jokes. They are stabbing the King of the Hill, in the hope that the King would be stabbed fatally, because they want to be the one at the top. You know what they say, "The highest trees gets the most wind" and this is true for Bitcoin too.

Bitcoin will get the most heat and negativity, because it is the King on the Hill or the highest tree in the Bush. One thing that people forget is this, "The bigger the tree, the stronger the network of roots"

I think the token is very influential on bitcoin, because the token is pegged to bitcoin. But if the bitcoin price goes up, then it will not impact the token. If the token price goes up, it will have an impact on bitcoin.
A good opinion though sometimes there are people who joke about price and quality.
I'm sure if bitcoin goes up then the token will also rise then people look at bitcoin because bitcoin is a good picture for those who follow it because bitcoin has a great impact on tokens.

Well, it happens with every good innovation out there. Wright brothers were mocked when they were trying to build an aeroplane, the same thing has happened with Alexander Bell while he was working to invent the telephone. We should focus our 100% attention on working on building what we see and that will make the difference down the road.

It doesn't matter, because it is the way of marketing for some new ICO. They show some negative adds about Bitcoin to show that they have better option for them . They know this is the way for them to attract common people, if they compare their project with the king of crypto currency, they should have more probability for them to pick up the market.this is the reason for them for joking.

Well, that's normal. This is the simple competition among the different currencies on the market.

The negative effect is self inflicting because all alts and tokens are practically tied to the value of bitcoin. When the value goes down everything else will follow so they should really stop joking about it and promote both bitcoin and their own product

I agree what the above said that this is just their marketing strategy because if you think of it deeply they never have their own code for making a token that has a blockchain and in fact they were just revising the codes of bitcoin to make their own token. Well, this is really how the market works, you have to do something in order to notice your product.

In recent times, some new ICO companies have been kidding about Bitcoin on Twitter, Facebook for their ICO promotion. I think this promotion way is very negative for Bitcoin. They showed that Bitcoin will be destroyed and their token will become number one. They have presented it in such a way that the price of Bitcoin will not rise anymore. I think this type of promotion is  very negative in the market.

Anyone should not be bothered about news such as that, a lot of time I have seen several altcoin claiming to be the next bitcoin or planning to replace bitcoin. We all know its an advertisement strategy to convince the newbie to buy into their ICO. There is nothing wrong in doing advertisements or trying to portray your coin as the best, but do it in your own way, sell your own project to the populace rather than dragging bitcoin into your own publicity stunt that might eventually pay of because for someone like me, I lose interest in such project.

Let them continue doing so, they also know the reality that bitcoin will remain the strongest. Even to buy other coins, an investor needs bitcoins.

they are can say anything about bitcoin but only stupid person can believe it. I think crypto currency users are smart person and they will not easy to believe statement like that. the fact we can't doubt is until now bitcoin is still become the king of crypto and may be it can't be replace by another currency.

You can certainly at the moment and joke, but I do not know who will joke the moment when bitcoin will grow again, and rise to the level at which it was before and his reign.

Let them joke. We then know that Bitcoin will always be number one, because he does not depend on anyone. And for other currencies and tokens are well-known personalities and companies and this is their weak point.

Dont worry, they cant beat bitcoin. There are about 2K altcoins listed in the coinmarketcap, and about 60% of them during ICO said that they will beat bitcoin but , unfortunately no one of them replace the bitcoin's throne.

That is their own judgment. Because I'm sure they can not predict what the future bitcoin value will look like.competitive   always happens here. The important thing is how you find out understand  and believe in the power of coin  will break the strong growth value in the future. I always choose bitcoin.
