Does speculation affect bitcoin negatively?

[BartS]

Fake news isn't poison to Bitcoin, the noobs believing everything are. In the end it all comes down to the people here not understanding what they invest in. Why do you think Warren Buffett keeps mocking Bitcoin? It's because of all the gamblers here just hoping that the price will sky rocket. That's why I don't like how even the Winklevoss twins went in with this. Instead of reacting to oldies trolling Bitcoiners, they should have been ignored completely. Even if you try to prove them wrong it gives them joy, so the best case is to not do anything. If you ignore them long enough, they won't even bother trolling anymore. They are like kiddos, the more you try to correct them, the more rebellious they become.

I think it is a vicious circle it is true that newbies are very easy to influence but there are newbies in every market and the media knows it so they know they can influence the market easily by spreading all kind of FUD in the market, and since the media is not going to stop spreading their FUD because they stand to benefit from it by getting more clicks the only thing we can do is to try to inform the newbies of what is happening and how they are being influenced.

From last few days, so many negative news regarding btc have been aired. Then lot of people speculate the price of bitcoin and just after that I have noticed some significant change in the price index of btc. Do you think that these speculation affect the price of btc a lot???

if depends on the person how would he reacted about issues,because speculation is only one opinion and does not imply to the rest,we have all the rights to speculate but not to the extent that we will assume things are truthfully that.

I dont believe that cryptonians is matured and educated just to believe this kind of black propaganda or rally to put bitcoin down

[followmenot]

Yeah of course. This is very sad truth about bitcoin, every news can easily affect its price and start rally in reverse. Single bad news create effect like winds hitting harder to markets like binance or bittrex man.

It Will affect Bitcoin market value negatively only if the speculation talk about negative effect on Bitcoin which will definitely create panic selling and that will lead to low price of Bitcoin and probably other altcoins.

Speculation is normal in the market, but if your a investor you could turn negative to positive. Matured investors are not affected by the negative news but immature and not so educated investors suffer more losses. To avoid being a victim you must do research and don't rely on information that media publish because some them are not true or fabricated.

[miyaka26]

It affects but not as much as the news, FUD's and manipulation done by the whales and some groups, speculation is just a small part of the factors that influence the flow of the price and its vast fluctuations whether it is a positive or a negative movement, it is not just negatively but you can count some positives when the speculation is favorable.

[Baronggot]

I believe that speculations or predictions by people affect bitcoin's market cap or price in the future negatively or positively. If people are speculating that bitcoin will really become valueless, then only few people will invest on it. Otherwise, it will attract more people to invest if positive speculations are always spread all the time.

True, speculations are normally done by people and we can't control the way they are going to take the changes in the market. We speculate not to affect bitcoin negatively nor positively, we do it for the soul reason of sharing what we feel and think about bitcoin. There is nothing wrong if we speculate negatively, it is part of the observation, it will just really depend how you are going to accept things.

Honestly, negative speculations can affect bitcoin negatively but think about it. We can speculate positively as much as we want but if the market is still not moving positively, accept the fact that there will always be negative thinking.

[Jerald]

this may not be the reason why the effect of the bitcoin price may sometimes decrease and lower its value because of the miners and investors who hold the bitcoin where they sell the high value is decreasing its value.

in some ways it does.  Because people tend to listens to what other people has to say.  If other speaks ill of a certain altcoin word of the mouth will go around and certainly will make some damage. Like a potential investor might shy away in fear of losing his money.

[ACVinegar]

Definitely yes, Opinion, suggestion, point of view and etc. were affects to the circulation of bitcoin, its because words from the mouth of the other people would be listen by the other people who cannot updated to what will happen. specially if the news are negative, more people are panicking even they hear are fake news and no supporting evidence. So be careful listening news regarding crypto currency, try to reads some article or news in internet to become updated.

[pealr12]

Yes it is, speculation,rumors ,fud are the common factors that affects bitcoin price negatively. As long as this factors exist expect the price to go down or up.  But the main reason is its because of the demand and.supply.

Anything related to bitcoin will definitely affect the bitcoin price, whether it is a significant influence and minimal influence. Bitcoin prices will always be affected and this is a rational thing to happen. So anything related to bitcoin will make the bitcoin move. Well stay seen how the movement happened. Does the bitcoin move positively and or negatively.

Yes, it can affect the price movement of Bitcoin because it can trigger it to those people who are affected by their emotions. From my point of view, crypto value depends on the speculation because we know that it's decentralized wherein no one control its value.

[BitHodler]

Because people tend to listens to what other people has to say.

Ironically, people do indeed take all the negativity for granted, but they completely ignore all the positivity that reaches them in the exact same way. I fail to understand why exactly this keeps happening.

If you are subject to this form of manipulation, it should work both ways, but it doesn't. The only thing that comes to my mind is manipulation. The average person always waits for a movement in order to act.

If whales initiate a dump after bad news, people think it's affecting the market because the price is going down, so they sell. If whales decide not to pump after bullish news, it means that people won't be buying.

It's makes sense, but there might also be a few other factors that play a role of importance.

[Shinpako09]

Bad news always have effect on btc and that is common in this world not just in btc. If there's a bad news, people spreading FUD will follow, followed by dump and that's make the situation worst. Any kind of news related to crypto have effect from slight to big.

It's a known fact. Even the stock market can be affected by speculations. One negative rumor can spread to panicky holders and then panic selling happens. It will snowball into more people selling, often at a loss.

It Will affect Bitcoin market value negatively only if the speculation talk about negative effect on Bitcoin which will definitely create panic selling and that will lead to low price of Bitcoin and probably other altcoins.

All the markets are easily influenced by the news what it happens with this market is that since it is relatively new the bad news can move the market very easily and this gets amplified by some other actors like the whales that take advantage of this and begin to sell some of their coins to try to create panic and force people to sell, this does not always works but when it does the whales then stop selling and then they wait for the price to reach the bottom and they now can buy bitcoin for a very low price.

Speculation negatively will affect the Bitcoin as negative news and statements discourage people to invest and take the ways towards the market and this negative speculation reduces the interest of people. Speculation positively will affect the coin positively and will encourage the people to take the ways straight towards the market as the market these days are on the increase trend but achievable and in the circle of our ability.

Yes many people who invested their money in bitcoin are those who do not know better about bitcoin and do not understand the price structure and the chart so they rely on the others speculations and when they hear about any negative speculation then they sell their bitcoin and because of that fool decision the price of bitcoin reduces.
