Why do people keep saying BTC is dead?!

[RobinHoodster]

People that think Bitcoin is that just don´t understand it. They will automatically panic if they see a price drop.
You just have to be patient en not greedy.

All know that those is media trying to take the investors money on their projects,banks and others companies should be paying to media hit bitcoin,but one thing is sure bitcoin is getting bigger and more investors soo i believe they are loosing this war.

you're right, the media is always cornered bitcoin users and always concerned about bitcoin prices so investors into a panic, but I knew it was no use because bitcoin is always going to be better

[Hugroll]

people want you to believe that bitcoin is dead so that the rumor spreads alot and eventually if enough people believe it it will harm the currency. thats the main reason behind this. also it drives the price down because everyone starts selling.

[Navesh Sapad]

Because they dont know how to use BTC , they only know one thing , go to preev , look at the price , if its low , come here try to convince others that it is no longer valuable , But according to me ( and most others ) BTC Is revolutionary and people will never let it die

Probably other cause:  Due to the long time that transactions are taking as the network grows.

This.

Given what is going on in the world right now (China recession and capital controls, oil countries like Venezuela having 700% inflation, Brazil in trouble and so on), BTC should be flying. it's not because of this blocksize thing.

I think people will be patient for a few more months, but after that will look for another coin that meets their needs better.

The above quote has clearly described why people believe bitcoin is dead. Also the major issue behind this statement is China's recession will have great impact on price as china holds the highest number of bitcoin users.

Every time, for as long as I remember, that I go on bitcointalk, everyone keeps posting "BTC IS DEAD" "SELL" etc... And then a few Sr/Hero members come and explain how thats wrong.

I just don't get it.

Aren't we used to the price fluctuating by now? Whats with all the crying/moaning about price bubbles, crashing, inflations, Russia, China blablablablablablaaaaa!

Jeez... Do some research before posting, I saw one post which got LOADS of attention, yet the first post was done by paint, with an unlabelled graph which showed wrong data!

This is getting to the point where we are affecting newer members or gullible people into selling/dumping all their coins instead of keeping them. I mean when I come on the forum, I see that its crashing, why would I buy in?

I think we need to stop giving the panicking people attention and focus more on positive sides.

people usually say that just to create huge panic, and if they'll create panic everyone will sell their bitcoins, so they will buy them for small price

if someone says that bitcoin is dead, don't sell your bitcoins and just buy more of them and keep them, don't give them chance to buy cheap bitcoins

The non-believers will always say that and those who want to take it down. Some maybe paid by the government for its price is going up without a tax. They wont get anything so it would be better to erase it.

I think people who do that are not the messengers of the government. i would think that doing it is haters or people who receive losses from bitcoin.

Yeah might be someone who got paid by a really good price to take down bitcoin. Well, they can do that with the use of money that they have stolen from people's taxes. They dont like people having freedom that is why they hate bitcoin.

Yeah and that is the reason people don't have faith in bitcoin as it can be easily get replaced by any new or innovative currency which might be better then  bitcoins.

you are thinking good and some websites are also online here those are cheating here with people, some times saying If you will invest inside our website  then we will provide you double in only after 1 day or 3 days and people are investing there after that there are not paying and cheating.

[GermanFoobla]

They say it because they are very negative about Bitcoin and that is really bad. They must know that it will be the future.
And you can also see that it will be more worth and that will be very nice. The halving is also coming so that is good I hope.

[Etaurith]

They say it because they are negative about the value. And that is really bad. I hope later that there will be more people will use Bitcoin.
People should not be greedy and just know that it will take a long time to have some profit, patience is very important in gambling.

[simonloff]

I think in most of the cases people doing that are benefactors, Meaning they are those buying at less price or waiting for a cheaper price to buy, That used to work few years ago but now the market size is so big that these rarely affect the market.

[BitcoinHodler]

you should always check who is saying that. there are always users that are spreading FUD to create panic in weak hands to buy at lower price for a temporary profit.

bitcoin is a cat with a thousand lives apparently

[sachung]

There are always hordes of people saying you should sell so they are getting cheaper BTC, This is just spam and attempts to make people sell at low prices for them to buy cheaper.

[sallymeeh27]

Maybe the only thing that this people may say that bitcoin is dead due to some cases of continuos down fall of its price value. This is really sad to but everyone should always think that it changes and it never stay on the same value. This always depend on the market value..

[YoonYeonghwa]

Because people want to troll you, and some people will actually respond to this, selling their bitcoins to other people because they, for some reason, believe them. They might earn money from this...

[Zaun]

Some people just want to influence the market by speculate a lot of bullshit if you ask me, but this is how its going these days.
Another reason can be because they are hating the bitcoin and lost a lot of money.

not all people just want to troll one another some of them also want to give you a correct advice if they think that bitcoin has no future

though some of them want to make bitcoin fail because they prefer the banks and the financial system we have right now

if they will know what exactly bitcoin is and how to use it, they will change opinion about " prefer the banks and the financial system"

Nope people complaining about BTC is dead , because they waited the price to go 5000$ for a long time and disappointed when it didnt happen. Besides, new participation rate to BTC community has decreased but not zero. Still there are reasons like this. these are few reasons.

[knowhow]

The big expectations that the magic value1000dollars has been achieved,after the dump into the lowers values,people lost faith at bitcoin some left and well we stand here waiting it rerturns to that value atleast.
