The fact alone that you're spending your
days years posting FUD on Bitcointalk proofs you wrong.
can't blame what people do with the aim that they are looking for profit from it, everything can and can be done as long as it can make people believe otherwise they are just doing things in vain. it's not easy to do that to something that is believed to be profitable for many people.
He is doing his job. There are a lot of users out here who makes a living out of FUD and rumors. A large part of the users here do day-trading, and they need high volatility in the market to make profits. The problem is that nowadays the strategy is not working that well with Bitcoin, as it is the case with altcoins. We had a correction from $64K to $29K, but it lasted less than a month. Compare this to the situation we had in 2014. The Bitcoin prices were falling steeply on a continuous basis for almost two years, and started the recovery only in 2016. 2014/15 was the ultimate wet dream for the cryptobears. And we can't blame them if they want another such episode now.
I totally agree with my friend, that it has become a trick in itself to be able to find the weaknesses of many people they can do and be able to make profits from people who trust. but it's true that if it's done with bitcoin then it's clearly different because the bitcoin market is very good, if there is a very fast correction and increase as well, so it's true that day trading is in great demand in bitcoin at a time when traffic is high.
but then again bitcoin does have its own share and usually those who do it are people who do have large capital because the price is quite high so very few are able to do that, apart from of course with altcoins which are indeed affordable prices and if you play the game it is certainly very easy to do.
bitcoin won't have a bad time again and bitcoin will be able to overcome things that can be done quickly because once again the market share is different now.
