Do not respond to FUD threads!

[Ava Duvall]

I have always been condenming FUD threads. I do not understand why some people on this platform still have misconceptions about bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies and post FUD thread. At times, some of these posts are ridiculous.

You are right, many people had similar remarks especially that cryptocurrencies are a threat. that's nonsense.

Unfortunately FUD is very efficient in crypto money market. I think it is a method that is often applied especially by those who have a lot of money.

[jakezyrus]

Why not? theres nothing wrong responding on fud threads because these types of threads are only simillar to the other existing threads about cryptos. If you are only worrying thinking that the price will decrease because of these kind of topics , then worry no more . fuds doesnt have any direct effect to the price of cryptos because people dont usually find it seriuos not unlike to a real news   , that can cause us to panic instantly .

[raidarksword]

Fudders are everywhere as we speak and they intend to spread false importation just to achieved their personal goals by pricing down bitcoin. These type of people really doesn't help the benefits of having crypto currency because they eliminates thrill of having crypto and they always intended to do that.

true. its a strategy actually and most of the time they are telling the truth as well. of course bitcoin wouldn't die but they are just telling something that the price could drop tremendously that if you won''t go along with what they are telling, you may loss opportunity to profit and to invest to a particular token they are trying to point out.

It wouldn't be so efficient if people wouldn't pay so much attention to it. Their only purpose is to spread panic and false information and too many users fall for that.
So before making decision based on FUD use your own head and common sense as well information and knowledge you have.
The problem is that FUD will always work with new and unexperienced users.

[doodle07]

Leave them alone and just do not mind them, for me that is the best thing to deal with it. They are making FUD threads because there were a lot of reacting on them so they continue to make. Just try to understand the market and just have the patience intact.

[nightfury]

We have different way of thinking about FUD especially those threads that we can see in this forum. Let these FUD spreaders continue what they wanted to do, and don't run away from them. It's better to reply to their post stating your own contradictions too which is what i usually do.

[medussa]

The goal of every FUD or fake news is to stir up your emotion of fear, then panic sets in and then irrational decision that will end up in you selling your assets at far below it's actual value. I don't take them seriously, unfortunately a lot of persons do and that affects everyone

[pharaon]

Not surprisingly, some people spread panic and FUD, in this market situation, since not everyone has patience and faith in crypto-currencies.

Well truth to be said, FUD posts are sometimes posts of people lost in confusion. Few of the reasons why some answer back is to either educate them, inject some sense of reasoning or slap them hard with the truth.

Though your point is well taken and that at times the best thing to do is to simply ignore them, i honestly feel that if the fud post can be intelligently answered, then why not?

Its not like feeding them fuel to ignite even more the fire, rather, we try to extinguish the fud smartly by providing sensible explanations to the negative opinions they have.

I agree with this, while leaving those post alone may seem like a good policy to some, the truth is many people just read the forum and are just passive readers and they do not participate in the discussion and if you do not respond to those kind of post then this will only create an echo chamber in which those people can make any kind of claim without being challenged.

And this will create the problem that many people could become convinced that they are right and sell their coins for a loss, recently I saw that effect in a telegram channel in which people sold their coins for about 20% of the real value, so while many think that spreading misinformation is harmless I know that is not the case because I have seen the damage it can do.

[Taronet-division]

in every forum there must be two sides, which support the truth and some oppose the truth. so which one we choose will be, because basically we only discuss adding insight. with the discussion we can understand what we have to hold as a foundation. there can be no constructive words if nothing is dropped

[Sumo]

Perhaps you are right and really should avoid these topics. But many beginners are seeing this issue, can accept the truth, so it's still worth to reply to these stupid messages on to refute them.

[BTC_BTC]

Guys it's becoming more and more popular to spread fud on this forum, I'm actually slowly finding it difficult to look up a thread of any value at all. The best strategy to combat the people who are intentionally spreading ridiculous comments on how bitcoin will die is not to raise those threads by commenting on them. Let them post it and slip into oblivion by not giving them the visibility they're thriving for. Rather create and comment on threads with reasonable remarks on crypto economy.

 

besides participating with the bounty signature, I'm also a trader.
I need information about trade, about the market.
but seeing the current reality, this forum is now filled with prize hunters who want to get a profit for free, they make posts that I think are completely useless.

[HerbertMarcel]

This kind of post are very much effective specially for the newbies because they come here without proper knowledge and the become the most victim.

[fattyforhire]

Among the people who write such news there are those who do it intentionally to worsen the image of bitcoin. But some people really believe that bitcoin comes to an end. And maybe with our truthful answers, we can convince someone...

[Xlady]

Anyone can post whatever they want, it is those that actually wanna be babies and believe them is what I have an issue with. If you can't deal with the highs and lows of this market, then its best to leave and probably go save your money in the bank. Non of my business.

[bitcoinzen]

this is one of the best advice we can give to fud threads they are many new fud threads opening up and many newbies respond to the threads which is nt required

[minhlee95]

I always want as many people as possible to study bitcoin, understand its prospects and do not write nonsense on the forum. But it never seems to end. So perhaps indeed is worth less to pay on this attention.

There are other crypto enthusiasts, adopters, investors and the likes that does not make a lot of sense too. So FUD is not the only matter at hand.

We should carefully asses our engagements with such posts, ignoring them is not the best approach at times. Though i'll have to say, never argue. Deliver your point, drive home the nail and leave. Should they raise a followup question and it deserves a profound answer (and if you have one), responding back will not hurt. This approach leaves some sense to those who are not so knowledgeable about cryptocurrency. Sometimes leaving an issue unattended makes it sound like the truth. Engage with facts and don't attack on a personal level, that's the best approach for me.
