Only thing I really hate is those Sponsor'd ads that say  "Don't buy Bitcoin invest in this new coin that's 100X better"   No idea what it may be since I never click that crap.

Do people still fall for such cheap tricks? Can't they learn how to identify true crypto worth?

FUD will only make crypto community stronger. As people are adjusting to information values and weight, it will begin to take a stronger rumor to tear it apart. Besides, it's no longer just bitcoin or ethereum. There are a bunch of coins out there now inspired by the astronomical growth of their predecessors.

Was at a BBQ a few days ago and Bitcoin was a hot topic. What had really frustrated me was when someone said "I read the creator of Bitcoin has sold all his BTC, Bitcoin is going down". I was WTF are you reading?, then i remembered the story of the founder of bitcoin.com sold all his BTC. Had to explain that he wasn't the creator of BTC. No one knows for sure who created BTC etc etc.. That, what he had ready was FUD FUD and more FUD! Then last night, the same thing from someone else! "Creator of Bitcoin has sold all his BTC" and he started to push XRP is the way to go. That was when i really lost it! and told him to go FUCK himself. We are losing the FUD battle! This is bullshit. It is causing potential new users to opt out of BTC and possibly into alt-coins. Sly

I find these stories a little bit funny but digging deeper this is actually a common trend these days...when all the information can be found online many people still prefer to get their dose of knowledge from the people around them. Maybe it is because we have been o busy living our lives we always forget to verify if the information that arrived in our doorsteps have already been vetted to be true or just another FUD. Actually, there is no need to take a battle on this because I still believe that a bad publicity is still a publicity. Eventually, people will realize the truth though there can short-term damage when we let falsehood rain on us. Ironically, this is happening at the time when gadgets to connect to the internet are very much available and in fact people can easily be lead to false information because they are connected online...this is a kind of thing that speaks volume of the character of the people in our generation.

The fud is like the real sickening for all those who have panic attacks when the price is going down, that is why a lot of people are always afraid of "what is going to happen" and "what is going to be" of bitcoin if it drops by 5% or 10%

Stop guys, the price is always recovering

...You have to understand that there are really groups of people from behind who is working very hard to discredit bitcoin. You will see them everywhere, from this to forum to social media sites. But  they can't really bring down bitcoin, its been unstoppable, just remember Dimon's attack, it put a significant dent of the market, but temporarily. Bitcoin will lived as long as there are investors like you and me and others here that are willing to pour money into the ecosystem because we all do trust and have full confidence on it.

And Yes, we will win this War.....

I don´t even think that many of the FUD articles are motivated by an attack on
Bitcoin. Most just seem to be proof of how lazy most journalists are with regards to getting
their facts straight and researching their stories thorougly.

Besides, advertising revenues are falling for the mainstream media outlets
and their articles basically become clickbait in order to attract the attention
of their readers.

Oh, don't take any of that personally. Be really happy that you're "annoyed" by them, be really happy that the FUD is working. You know, if everyone were to be a happy camper, you'd get two possible scenarios. The first, true mass adoption happens so much quicker, quicker than you can fill your pockets with Bitcoin. Then, suddenly you're left behind holding 0.1 BTC while your family friends and neighbours all have loads. Second, if everyone got into it, no FUD, how will Bitcoin price grow to defy them, how will you be able to smile knowingly at the dinner table next year, five years, ten or twenty from now? Wink

Take it easy, enjoy the ride, and be glad for them.

After all, imagine how many other smarter, more knowledgeable people we annoy and frustrate? It's a pyramid of frustration I tell you!

Awww..... Welcome to the crypto world, now you're really seeing what useless dumbasses actually say to confuse people. But hey, thanks to these bullishit FUDs, we here are able to buy bitcoin and other cryptos during the dip that is caused by the idiots who ain't know shit about bitcoin and yet invest in it and then get scared and start panic selling. So, I'm happy with all the incoming FUDs, don't give a shit about others.

Fake news is killing bitcoin and bitcoin has refused to die as some ones has said "bitcoin has die several time". I think a lot need to be done to control one emotions during this time that People are puping out alot of information about bitcoin in other to control people minds about what happened in bitcoin market.

I think we have done our share mate. We have explained countless times that newbies or newcomers who are creating threads and asking questions what to do specially when bitcoin is crashing. That's the best thing we can do and its really up to them to really decide what's they are going to do.

From what I can see, we are losing the battle, So much FUD and misleading news articles. I am sure their intended purposes, to bring down bitcoin, are working. As much as we think we don't need these people who fall for the FUD, we do. We need everyone on board to accept the Bitcoin for what it is and what it can be!

Does Bitcoin Core have a PR Team? Other than the members here at Bitcointalk.org Smiley

However, I do believe Bitcoin will win the War.


No mate, we are not losing this battle, we can experienced a few setbacks, but I don't think that it totally harm the market in the long run. You have to understand that there are really groups of people from behind who is working very hard to discredit bitcoin. You will see them everywhere, from this to forum to social media sites. But  they can't really bring down bitcoin, its been unstoppable, just remember Dimon's attack, it put a significant dent of the market, but temporarily.

Doesn't matter and you should not worry about it.  Since I bought my first bitcoin in 2013 it has officially died >20 times.  Even had articles detailing all the deaths. LOL  Just keep holding and gathering more as you go.  This is where the strong accumulate and the weak get relieved of their holdings.

I'm not sure if this is FUD caused by bad news or by pure stupidity, the problem is that people are too willing to accept everything they are told and take no time to actually investigate what they are reading.

Bitcoin is a adversarial system. If it wouldn't be attacked from all those different sides something would be really wrong with it.
Bitcoin is the King of the cryptos. And there are many entities and persons who would like to dethrone it.
I wouldn't care that much about all those FUD.
Same things have been said in the past about the internet and other technologies. Just ignore all that BS!

Not really. People believing this nonsense have nothing to contribute anyway with their few hundred buck holdings. If we look back at how the mainstream media has been talking about Bitcoin, then it's still the same - there is no understanding of Bitocin, and they are looking to attract clicks. I have seen a video on Youtube where someone was talking about how he invests without actually owning any crypto currencies, and as soon as Monero is being brought up in the spotlight, the lady leading the interview asks him 'isn't that the currency used by criminals?!', where this legend replies with 'everything is being used by criminals, including the US dollar and the Euro'. It's fantastic.

For those willing to see the video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azailpA6wdQ the part I am referring to starts at 05:00

Those people are really pushing those coins on their own choice. They are doing some make up stories that they don't even know if it's a fiction or reality. Most of those people that are shouting these FUDs doesn't literally know what bitcoin is or the history way back years ago. They do want to take advantage and they are all for the money not with technology.

That usually happens even in the mainstream media, created by journalists who couldn't give a rat's ass about what they're writing about but still wants to get paid anyway. There is money in creating FUD, that's why these article writers exist. One small misinterpretation about a certain news article could cause millions of dollars to move in the market. We aren't losing any battle in the FUD game but instead some people are just lazy and too gullible enough to believe these sketchy news written by half brain-dead "journalists".

I don't think that we are losing any battle at all, the one who lose the battle is the one who will sell their Bitcoins believing on what they are saying.  It is called FUD for a reason and that reason is for weak people to be scared on holding their Bitcoin investment and forcing them to sell it pushing the price of Bitcoin down which means the big players have the chance to buy Bitcoin at a lowered price. One thing to defeat this is for us to do our own research and our own analysis for us to prevent selling our own Bitcoin.
