Fake news always dangerous

[yhiaali3]

I don't know how people can believe these false reports about MicroStrategy selling Bitcoin at such a low price, especially since their last Bitcoin purchase was in October. The company bought an additional 220 Bitcoins at an average price of $123,561 per coin, for a total investment of $27 million.

So, does it make sense that they would sell at such a low price now? On the contrary, the company's policy is to buy continuously, even during periods of high prices.

Sometimes, bitcoin price crashing does not require a significant reason just to make it valid. Bitcoin will drop its price whenever it wants, and will recover and reach another heights once the market favors bitcoin. Bitcoin has its own time frame when to increase or decrease its price, and until now none of us will be able to make accurate predictions for bitcoin.

Now, if you believe to fake news, your bitcoin investment will be compromised since you create wrong decisions that could lead to panic selling and make you sell at a big loss. Unlike if you stay calm and observe the market well, you will save yourself from immediate losses.

That is what some investors what to understand they want to know when the bitcoin price usually drop and later raises. And that can't be identified because is unpredictable and if you think you will be following alot of news you will be seeing different cases and that can make you lose your bitcoin when they says you should sell and you do so, and you are in a lose when you sell that is how you be expecting alot of money to buy. What I don't really understand by some people or investors, why can't we follow our mind and keep our coin for long term and wait for the profit to come before selling it out.

why we will be selling in loses when we have invest to get profit and if we didn't reach the target we won't sold, but because of scared and unnecessary talks from others investors can scared newbies to sell when the market is volatile and thinking they will lose everything and bitcoin is different from other coins, you can't just lose all your money in bitcoin if you invest in it. They have some news that if you hear it, you will surely know that is fake and they have some that sound as truth but to identify it is to make some deeply research and find out if is real or fake.

Rumors have emerged that Michael Saylor sold $1 billion of MicroStrategy's BTC, causing the market to temporarily crash to $95,000.
Sometimes the Bitcoin market is heavily influenced by false propaganda, as has been the case with the price crashing based on this fake news. Before believing in fake news, one should patiently understand the situation well. Michael Saylor himself has made it clear that he will not sell his Bitcoin but will continue to buy his Bitcoin.

There is no truth to all this news and it is incomprehensible why people believe in all this news. Before believing any news, one has to analyze the origin, analyze the truth and falsehood. A group of dishonest people take special advantage of the market by spreading all this false propaganda, and a group of people easily believe it, helping to create a major impact on the market. However, it is possible to have a temporary positive marketing effect by spreading false news, but it does not last long.

Fake news is a danger to us, but it is even more of a concern for assets like Bitcoin.
Crypto research firms say long-term Bitcoin holders are taking profits at a massive rate. According to CryptoQuant, these investors have sold 815,000 Bitcoins in the last 30 days, the most since January 2024. Bitcoin prices have fallen to a six-month low as global markets have become increasingly averse to risky assets. The global sell-off in risky assets intensified on Friday (November 14) as the Federal Reserve ended hopes that it would cut interest rates at its December meeting.

Fake news is so dangerous in societies, at times it leads to hatred, before spread news try to cross check how authentic the news and the sources, most especially when it's has to do with influencial people. Bloggers today can post carelessly just to get attention of readers and to make people engage on their post. whenever something has to do with influencial people check before you repost, check is the information from the real social media account of the influencer or from any verified TV stations.

Example of Christian genocide that's going on in Nigeria, it's propaganda while Donald trump believed it's real, terrorists has no religion they don't descriminate they killed both Muslims and Christians while USA president seen it has Christians are the only victims

Bitcoin seems to be in a bit of a rotation and all these private equity companies that bought into it, especially since the SEC has eased up regulations, need to protect themselves a bit if entering a bear market. If you have a big whale that wants to flood the market and rebuy as the price pushes lower, that's actually an investment strategy they might use. You cannot believe the world's of a hedge fund manager as they might be running all sorts of competing money making methods and arbitrage.

.. Before believing in fake news, one should patiently understand the situation well. Michael Saylor himself has made it clear that he will not sell his Bitcoin but will continue to buy his Bitcoin.

Yet people are quick to act on fake news because of FOMO (fear of missing out) or fear of losing a significant portion of their portfolio. There will always be bad actors who create fake news for their own self-interest, so make it part of your routine to double-check and verify the news, identify the source of the fake news, and assess their reputation.
It's better to wait for your favorite crypto media for the news; if it's big news, they always cover it for their followers.

To be honest, it is very common in the crypto world to spread fake news by exploiting people's fears and greed. Especially if someone spreads rumors about a big name many people sell out in panic without thinking. Even though the guy himself has repeatedly said that he will hold onto Bitcoin and buy more. In my own experience, FOMO and panic force most people to make the wrong decisions. So instead of jumping on the bandwagon it is very important to stop and check the news. If you see a site that is reporting the news and if they have reported something fake before, you can avoid many pitfalls.

I think it is good to have some media or analysts that you trust. If there is big news, they will cover it no matter what so there is no harm in waiting a little. If you make a hasty decision in crypto, the profit is less and the loss is more.

The price drop actually has nothing to do with the rumor, but it could at least influence it. Before believing such rumors or fake news, investors should ensure to understand the situation well and prioritize patience so as not to panic easily. Bitcoin's price is constantly fluctuating, and investors need to seek more accurate information from trusted sources to make more informed decisions. Michael Saylor has emphasized that he will not sell his Bitcoin and will continue to buy more. So, why should we panic?

It would make a great sense if bitcoin investors will always have plan B for their investments. They should consider if price dips and they are still caught up in the dip, what will they do? It seems to me that some investors don't plan for possible loss, that is why they always react with fear to every news and act immediately before they confirm the authenticity of such news. This is not only limited to Bitcoin, fake news kills in every aspect.

It is very important for an investor to have faith in Bitcoin. When an investor does not have faith in Bitcoin, then that investor becomes very scared when he sees a market decline or fake news. Therefore, an investor always needs to have faith in Bitcoin and should invest with the amount of money he can lose. Because when a person invests with his emergency money and if the market declines, if he has faith in Bitcoin, then he can also become very scared. A person should invest by considering all its aspects. If a person invests only on one thing, then it can cause danger for him after a while. If a person invests with emergency money, a person can become very scared when he sees a small decline in the market.

What we need to start investing is faith in Bitcoin, basic knowledge about Bitcoin and a discretionary income.

The fall in price had nothing to do with that rumor though. The rumor started spreading after the latest fall in price, then coupled with on-chain data showing outflows from Strategy's wallets, which people interpreted to be the company selling some of their holdings. However, on a general note, it is true that weak hands will react to everything. Any rumor or news that seems negative and they are scrambling to sell BTC.

And ironically that makes OP the fake news spreader.

But especially in crypto markets, people are looking for reasons they can accept for market movements, and often these involve rumors, because rumors have moved markets in this space for ages. So i am not sure if people should ignore them, especially if they are traders.

And outside of crypto we live in post truth era anyway, where people rather listen to influencers that get paid for clicks then any "boring" old media, that do real news with sources and all.

Faith comes when you understand Bitcoin. Many of these weak hands we see do not fully understand what Bitcoin is. They have not studied the market's behaviour in the past to be able to believe in it that they are still safe no matter the situation at the moment. If anyone is going to have faith in Bitcoin, he should not do that out of ignorance, blindly trusting Bitcoin without any solid knowledge to backup his belief will be increasing his risk. When challenges and fake news come, they will still panic.

There is no point in following those who cheat or temporarily influence the market for their own profit, but rather, you have to be more careful about their behavior. When the Bitcoin market was in a slightly downward position, there was a fear among investors that the market might fall again. In reality, that has been proven. Many people tried to spread rumors about this decline in various ways and dump it even more. Michael Saylor did not accept Bitcoin for a small profit, so it is never appropriate to make such comments about him.

Main point is always understanding of bitcoin and its fundamentals because if someone is not understanding the keeping things are never works for him, and he can ruin his investment market behaviour is also important but now as few changes happening it's going to be miserable.

In last one year, too many big players are investing into bitcoin which is bringing some changes because few are feeling it's trying to control bitcoin which is never been easy still things are problematic for many investors specially those are new in this. Keeping eye on updates are always good but also understanding fake news impact is also important because this is always created panic which is not favourable for newbies which are no well aware about bitcoin.

I'm not surprised to hear this false information because I know surely people would definitely make investigations to know the reason behind this current situation and there are other sources that is ever ready to give out informations whenever it is needed both false information and also reliable information.

I have been very active on X lately I have never come across where saylor mentioned anything as regard to what op is saying here or maybe I think op didn't get this information direct from saylor maybe from someone else who is trying to be famous by sharing false information.

When news doesn't come from reliable sources, you have just to blame yourself teking the updates from social media publications and spread by fake profiles. When i take a look at the market today, i can notice that not just bitcoin dumped significantly, but other markets as well. And when seeking a little bit deeper, all the news talk about the Federal Reserve might retain the current interest rates during next year. We expect the markets to get back to normal starting next month December.

The rapid spread of news is certainly an example of the benefits of the rapidly developing internet, and currently almost everyone must fill their daily lives with an internet connection so why do many people easily believe the news that is spread because they think everything on the internet is true especially with parents who have just known social media they will easily believe the news that is spread.

The development of the internet makes many things easier in a positive way but even so there are also people who use it for things that are not true such as hoax news or even crimes such as fraud, we must be careful in everything especially with things related to the internet anything can be manipulated.

I have made it a habit to not just believe every news I find on the internet without a research of my own. To verify news I see, I always make sure to watch out for other news outlets to see if same news is reported, that means I don't just take news from one source as true, because there is always a high chance that it could be fake. Also I try not to take news from unverified sources on the Internet because I believe a verified source of news will make sure to research every report they have to ensure that it is true before making it public for the sake of their reputation which they're very much concerned about unlike the unverified sources.

[tabas]

Don't be also too much believing in what these people say. They have a huge company, employees and investors that have entrusted them their money. So, it means that there can be a time that they have to sell their resources just to cover all of the people that are part of their journey. While I am believing him with what he says that he's not going to sell at this moment, don't close your mind that he's going to be faithful to his words forever. A time of selling might come and we'll be surprised when he do that. Just saying that they're still human and can always break their promises.
