Topic: Get ready for lots of negative articles on bitcoin - page 6. (Read 15035 times)

I agree there's not a conspiracy in the press, its just that the vast majority of people aren't into bitcoin (yet!), and so those 99% of people often have feelings of anger when they see something that other people are getting super excited about that is making them rich left and right. Most people will feel they couldn't possibly have missed out on something so spectacular so it must be fake, it must be a fraud, or a bubble that'll pop and never come back, it must be all hype, the technology must be useless and just scamming people because no real useful asset could ever just keep going up like that. So on every bull run they scream "fraud", "fake", "scam", etc and then on every bear market they say "see told ya" and figure the bear market will last forever, and as soon as it turns around they started screaming the usual negative things born out of ignorance and will claim that this is just a temporary swing up before the decline continues. And every time they are wrong, which furthers the feeling of insult they have at not only missing out but also being wrong time and time again.

The press are just normal people, and most people haven't researched bitcoin appropriately (including the people in the press who write about it) will think this way until they do finally do the proper research, because they can't comprehend something that anyone can buy and take part in could just keep exploding in price and make anyone rich because there has literally never been anything like Bitcoin before.

There is no conspiracy against bitcoin, it is simply ignorance that makes people think nothing can keep going up like this, because they don't realize that this is the first time people have been able to invest directly in a technology, rather than investing in a company that uses a technology and only that once the company is made public once the wealthy early investors have already loaded up for years while it is illegal for anyone who isn't rich to buy in. And of course it doesn't hurt that bitcoin was literally designed to continually explode with adoption in price due to the supply cap and halving schedule.

Crypto is different though. It's largely an unregulated mess where major sites like Coindesk are owned by very wealthy individuals who are only out to do themselves a favor because they have bags to pump.

Overall, people are different the way they process news and predictions. I remember how people were called a troll of fudder for saying that the price could potentially fall below the $3000 mark, and we almost did.

People are so emotionally connected to their investment that even though they realize things could play out against them, they hope that the opposite will happen and the price pumps instead of tanks hard.

True, FUD didnt really stop even if we are already on a bearish market as expected there are really news that would tend to make out bad publicity
with bitcoin so its still not surprising if these things do still continue to this market but even though Bitcoin is still standing inspite of all those attacks and bad publicity.

A 50% (or 65%) crash in Bitcoin is never that surprising. We just crashed 50% a few months ago, so why couldn't it ever happen again?

To crash that hard, you don't need 50% of investors to sell at all. The price is determined by supply and demand on the exchange market, which has very limited liquidity. It doesn't take that many coins to crash the price.

What you said about some crypto haters to say something or write negative article about Bitcoin is not something new and was always the same strategy used by some groups of bankers/crypto haters all in the act of making people to panic sell.
The crypto posed a good strength since a couple of days but we still need a couple weeks before we can really know if this is real bull market.

Yeah, it's nice when you're able to legitimately tell your coworkers to go F- themselves.  It will be even better for you when bitcoin hits $10k again, and you can rub it in their face that you doubled your money since April.  Hopefully it won't take too long for us to get there--I'm pretty sure bitcoin is headed toward at least that price, but it's just a question of how long it's going to take.

Speaking of negative sentiment, where's Kwuckduck these days?  He usually rears his ugly little bearish head right around the time when bitcoin starts to take off, and you'd think a price bump like what we've seen in the past week would be like cockroach attractant to him.  And pay no mind to any negative articles you read on the news sites.  They've all been published before, and bitcoin has proven its resiliency over and over.  It's here to stay, which was something I was skeptical about just a few years ago. 

it's true that Whales can give cryptocurrency prices at their own pace without anyone being able to manage them but you have to know that Whales will not pump the price of cryptocurrency if there is no good news to make Whales affected.

Just what you'd expect from vultures, let's hope the "news" don't get too big.

This crash prediction is on what base ?
On the base that almost 50% investors would remove their investment and dump the coin ?

I don’t think this will ever happen again, the only time I expect a little bit of down price is when BTC reaches $10,000, some few investors who cannot wait till the ATH will see it has an opportunity to remove their capital leaving the profit to continue to grow and this action won’t be more than 10% of investors, which is not enough to crash the price below $6000 talk less of dropping that low. So, all those advise I am seeing people give to investors to sell their coin really does not hold much weight.

I think that constant amount of FUD and all kinds of negative news and cryptocurrencies in general is present all the time. Some triggers for more negative news appeae from time to time but I guess this is something we already got used to. Anyway, the only thing that can be done is to use your brain and common sense, critical way of thinking so that you don't believe everything that you read or hear. Although it's proven that people tend more to believe negative than positive news.

Whales will do everything and this kind of strategy is one of their goal for sure. If there a big pump then the best thing to do for them is to sold more their holdings, creates FUD news so the price will dump again and the whales will buy more coins again. This can't be stop because its legal in cryptomarket, we just need to apply that game plan into our own investment decisions. The market will not dump again this time, its too early for this one.

since I was in this forum. often read articles or see tv news about the bad of cryptocurrency. when the market are bad or when the market is good. the news is almost the same "bad". in my opinion, those who make news don't understand about cryptocurrencies and as if they were economic experts. aim to influencing the market or just looking for its own news popularity. this is very irresponsible, because the news should be made based on facts not opinions or imagination.

There is no "conspiracy" in the press. I worked in press for 12 years, I can tell you there is nothing of the sort. Journalists are pretty independent to post whatever they like.

I'm a proud bitcoiner and been hodling since 2013. But this "press is FUD" stuff is just so childish.

It is expected though, even in the bear market, the FUD is didn't stop, so what more in the bullish trend?

I just hope that those who read negative news will not be sway and will used their common sense and treat every news differently. Research and investigate first before you say that the news is true and not just spreading fake and with malicious intent from behind.

Yes, it is normal even in life, once you begin to progress, people start to talk shit about you but never knew about you when you had nothing which is not cool. this is the time when we begin to see a lot of FUD news about crypto, but I think it's not going to affect the market as it did in 2017 because a lot of persons don't care about FUD anymore, they just focus on the market because those who came up with FUD news then are now fans of what they once called a scam.

I hope this won't hinder the progress of bitcoins price this year. Me? I am already aware of this news and articles such giving bad reviews or ridiculous insights from them to destroy BTC's standing. But sadly it affects the price BTC because maybe some individuals that are into it are slowly brainwashed by these sites and influence them to stop it resulting to a declining price.

Sometimes such fud news is really needed to stabilize the price of bitcoin so that the increase is not just a bubble so that the increase really becomes a healthy bullish trend. I agree that news like this should indeed be ignored because if we are all intelligent, we will not be consumed by bad news about bitcoin.

Oh jesus christ you guys are right, I forgot about that part of bull run... Now that we are up a bit there will be a TON OF people on TV saying bitcoin will go down again and all will be like a unison of sounds telling same thing on every TV show they go out.

Until of course bitcoin goes up even more and even more at which point TV shows will get other people who support bitcoin and even bitcoin famous people like Erik Vorhees to talk about how awesome bitcoin is at which point you can understand bitcoin reached its peak again and we will have a possibility of going down, whenever bitcoin increases way too much you will start to see actually smart people on TV.

Hopefully, these negative ones will be small to minimum because it is getting more boring every single time they do the same thing and we prove them wrong every single time.

Nah! I don't think the negative news will have that much effect anymore. The current holders have proven that they're a stern support group while people who will join are probably aware already of the risks. Fuds won't have that much impact at this time i think.

We cannot avoid that stuff because bitcoin is gradually increasing which is the right time as well for Fud's to make a panic selling . I suggest just ignore it mate because it's useless even though they spread worst article on bitcoin, and in fact no one will believe on it and can stop bitcoin especially right now that there's a big improvement . which is surely that will constantly rising soon.
