[PointHope]

I noticed google news is saying some older BTC addresses are liquidating, and we should be afraid of BTC stability and viability..

Me thinks this is FUD being spread by the bankster crooks.

It would help to point to the article.
The world is full of "news writers" that don't understand what they write about, especially if it's a translated or too technical stuff. It may have been that or the usual FUD. However, without a link we cannot tell.

If you find the link and post it, please put it in a code tag and change http(s) to hxxp(s) so we don't help those with back links

Well, google news is like daily news from different websites that is not written by actual google company itself, at least the majority of it based from my research.

So maybe the algorithm picked up that you are into Bitcoin and that is why google news is recommending you news regarding Bitcoin. I do get some notifications from google news from time to time from my phone so that's probably what is happening to you right now.

Basically, google news isn't spreading FUD in my opinion, it's just the algorithm recommending you news based on your recent search history.

Some links would help us a little though.

That's correct. But afaik Google should "fight fake news" and check (as possible, obviously) what their algorithms return. I guess that this time it was a big #fail.

Let me guess, you're referring to this article? https://cointelegraph.com/news/old-hands-selling-out-metric-shows-bitcoin-price-at-risk-of-hodlers-dumping

Then I'm not sure why you're really blaming Google here. It's not like they're the one who wrote the article, or something like them "sPrEaDiNg fUd To DeStRoY BitCorN". Because surprise surprise, articles like these are the ones that actually gets a lot of clicks, so it's partly our fault as readers.


In summary:

• Negative news: FUD
• Positive news: MOON

Me thinks this is FUD being spread by the bankster crooks.

Of course, everything that is not praising BTC for curing cancer, eradicate poverty, and discovering life on Mars is FUD, and of course, again everything it is paid by the banksters. There is data from glassnode (which myself I find it pretty unreliable) that claim this, so rather than shouting FUD, you should try to prove this is wrong if the news is fake.

Again, things that you don't like are not FUD.

You could start by criticizing the article for not making the difference between coins moved from wallets and coins moved to exchanges but rather than that you grabbed the pitchfork and yelled FUD, bankster, and everything else, forgetting to even add a link to what caused all this.

I don’t think it is the FUD that caused the liquidation of some old BTC holders. I believe that it has something to do with the current situation that we have now in the world, the pandemic. Still hasn’t been entirely stopped ever since the beginning. There are even cases popping up, and there's no complete solution yet.

What are the things that those banksters are spreading? Please tell me what you are talking about. Cite some sources.

lol, very common with some btc enthusiast to call anything and everything that is not directly speaking in-favor of btc to be FUD, i think crypto in general is like that, anyone say any slight negative thing or a critics is regarded as fud, perhaps OP should take it as a warning and understand the rationale behind the news, besides, there is nothing new even this is fud from google or other website, at the end btc will always pull through.

I see that the FUD on Bitcoin at the moment does not have much impact on Bitcoin's destruction of value.
Bitcoin has had too many FUDs in the past two months due to bad news regarding major exchanges being hacked, problems involving the operators of OKex, Bitmex, or news of COVID-19 infection. U.S. president. Bitcoin on exchanges has been exhausting since March of this year so there won't be a lot of bitcoins to sell to lower prices.
Bitcoin is at a stable price above $ 10,000 and I don't believe it will continue to depreciate.

Above all, participants in the crypto community will know where to read the important and official information, not just on Google. Large investors and companies have been involved in buying bitcoins for a long time and have no reason for Bitcoin to fall in price.

Often times I come across articles about bitcoin but I never consider FUD news even though it's bad news made by the media in the article, but the algorithm will still follow our path, which is often visited, it often appears on Google news, if we respond this is serious and saying this is FUD means we are still too sensitive to media news

It is also true that if the OP shares the sources that say it will be better because we will know the content of the news that we are talking about.

Then I'm not sure why you're really blaming Google here.

Old hands sell, and the price goes up - let them just sell even more

I'm sure it's an article, and why the OP blames Google for FUD is that it found the article via Google Search, or got it served via Google Discover on its smartphone (which was the case with me). I don’t think OP understands the basics of the internet, Google is certainly not a company to be commended when it comes to user privacy - but in this particular case they shouldn’t be blamed for anything.

That's a good way to see it. Google and other websites in the past have been dishing out negative news way back. And this is not the first time such is coming up. Whether seen as fud or not, bitcoin adoption has gone past that fear at this time

I agree with you here. Google is not to be blamed here. I thought at first reading the title thread, someone from the camp of Google wrote the article. But came to find out, they have nothing to do with the article. Is he going to blame google for all the negative news articles written towards bitcoin? I guess, this is not fair on their part. It is the reader himself that should filter the news, so many fake news nowadays. As a reader, you need to know how to identify articles based on facts.

Please share the Link or the Ads that gives this FUD ,i have not encountered one of this kind but i will be sad if Google are being used by Banksters just to make this market fall.

I know how desperate banks in putting our community here down but not in this kind of war,they seems to be defeated using Google news to spread Fud.


Anyway they cannot do anything to stop our progress here and they will sooner adopt us instead of fighting in bad ways.

[daarul50]

The news like that is normal , i mean there is always negative comments or news come up everyday on anything , to amybody , you know that is how reporter making news that makes reader curious.
As everybody else has pointed put above regardimg the google news , you are making a misleading perception here .
Google news referring any article that suits your dailu search on your browser.
If you spent your day by typing bitcoin price then your google news will refer to several articles imcluded the one youmention and accused here lol
Calm dpwn.

[Wexnident]

Tbf, fake news and the like is an everyday occurrence, not just with Google, it's literally everywhere. Social media itself is filled with fake news, but does anyone report that? Just correct it or question it whenever someone actually spreads info and you see them. Anyone who's pretty in the know about crypto should know about whether it's true or not, but most especially it's not FUD. Google is basically just like a billboard or something that allows anyone that pays to show their articles and the like, so blaming google here seems quite unreasonable.

[Taskford]

Why bothered if you think it's fake and there's nothing to worry about that since we are dealing that everyday. But come to think that why would people believe that also? Maybe some will get afraid but for sure the same with other those things will subside. But for what I see also google is not spreading that maybe some random article popping up on chrome so best not to believe on what you read since not all written on the net is true.

Google is basically just like a billboard or something that allows anyone that pays to show their articles and the like, so blaming google here seems quite unreasonable.

Search engines should possess certain qualities such as credibility, accuracy and scam resistance. Visitors rely on the information returned to them when accessing the internet, and simply allowing anyone who places a bid to get visibility for whatever content is not good practice as it puts visitors at risk.
There has been events of Google promoting phishing sites and storing user data, so an inaccurate publication is not much of a surprise at this point

Everyone who is concerned with privacy and security should consider using alternative search engines like DuckDuckgo or SearX.

That's true and it's our fault because of our curious mind to become a unfaithful instantly for any fuds. So it's better to control ourselft before taking any steps. BTW, your replies are most suitable with enough maturity and fan of your replies.

We should always check if the news source is correct or is it just another fake news around the internet.
And besides it wouldn't really be FUD they just want to let us know what is really happening it is up to us to react on it if we want to take it as FUD or just keep calm.
