What else could you expect from 2020 media anyway? At this point the only effective weapon against FUD is competence and self education
Agree, the purpose of the media to inform the public of world events has been twisted by one simple thing, money. A great deal of what we could call traditional media is being held in place by government money and as soon as that happens then the media losses all power when it comes to finding the truth behind the world events and becomes nothing more but a propaganda machine of the state, which is what we are seeing now, and the only way to protect yourself form those harmful effects is to learn to think by yourself and in the case of bitcoin it is clear that any FUD they propagate could not affect a person that knows the true nature and purpose of bitcoin.

They are not spreading FUD. Google news is a news aggregator service by google.
All people can apply to be accepted on google news content distribution.
I also have a website that accpeted to become publisher on google news.
Whenever new post updated on my website, it will be pushed to google news.
The content will be visible on your smartphone if your interest meets the google news algorithm for my content.
When you read a news from google news, you may consider to double check the source.

There's a huge chance that this is true, not everyone is trusting the current market, I could say, it is quite sad but the truth is, many of bitcoin hodlers are investors who want profit, they have their own mindset on how they will expect the market to perform. Some are having a target price when they sell. Though liquidating funds is quite normal but for google to emphasize it for me is a form of control. Perhaps they don't Bitcoin to dominate the market. One example is when youtube is "Shadow Banning" cryptocurrency content. We can see these implicit negative views of google towards cryptocurrency, so I think it's time for us to choose alternatives.

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.
For me it is just an update to us to let us know what they are doing and we should be cautious.
For me when we use the word FUD or FOMO it is for fake news to make the price move as they want.
When it is true then I wouldn't consider it a FUD or FOMO but instead a knowledge that we should use.

I think whatever mainstream is pushing is a contrarian indicator.

If google news is pushing bearish news, then it's probably going higher. Smiley

It's not pushing anything!

It recommends you popular articles in your country. Actually these articles are rarely mainstream. My google is recomending me stock exchange portals and my local news portals that say something about Bitcoin. I don't even have that article from cointelegraph mentioned in the beginning of the thread in my recommended news.

Most likely OP was reading cointelegraph lately, or people in his country read it, or both and google added 1 and 1 and he thinks he's getting FUD delivered directly to his phone or whatever.

This is just most ridiculous statement. It is completely contracting with the well know nature of bitcoin! I mean we are afraid of stability and viability?, since when it was stable anyway. It's very nature is "volatile" which we might have heard, read thousand times through an article published everyday.

Moreover, google has got nothing to do with such news. If anyway there is such news floating around then it's because someone is publishing them on the Google Platform. I mean come on Google is multi billion business, why would they care.

Don't worry mate this will also favor bitcoin and crytocurrencies because remember that Good or bad publicity is also a publicity.
this means Google news is spreading the bitcoins name and people might get interested in checking and learning about this.
so all in all it will help us also for popularization so don't bother about the issue and let it just happen.

Writers  need some interesting title and sometimes their opinion on the topic at hand seems off and creating confusion and fear to some btc hodlers. I read many articles like that not only about Bitcoin. Some writers editorial job needs some polishing.

It is not only bankers who are trying to spread the FUD, but governments as well, governments and banks are the first enemy of Bitcoin because they love control and centralization, but despite all these rumors and concerns that they spread, we see that the spread of Bitcoin is increasing day by day and will increase more and more after the giant Paypal joined the Bitcoin world .

For each and everything people look for the suggestion from Google. It gives you the suggestion and the rest is upto you. One needs to analyse and understand the reality rather than believing what Google has said. Whether it is about the positive side or it is about the negative part of bitcoin, believe if there is strong proof relating it.

Google does some technical game at times. This might be considered as FUD, and if we are sure of the statement revealed is against the truth we can claim it.

It good you noticed that but you also spreading FUD yourself by not providing adequate information so we can be sure if what you're saying is truth or a news with a cook up story.

I have seen this thread but i had nothing much to tell because the buy order for pilling up and i wanted to see the price of bitcoin breaking the resistance and we have breached the $12k valuation and these sort of news will pop up every now and then and it is not a big surprise. Just scroll back and watch these kind of negative news popping up during the last halving when the market was about to move higher and the same circle is continuing here even though i have not checked the validity of the news i guess that is happening here.

It’s not Google, you should mention the name of the website. I make use of Google news too and what it does is to generate news based on your interest. So, if Bitcoin is one of your interests you’re going to be seeing be seeing any news on bitcoin, whether good or bad.

Hence, you should have checked the website that posted the news and then copy out the link.That way we can as well take a look at the news and see what it’s really referring to. And just one news like that cannot be enough to cause FUD in the market, it will keep growing.

This is like searching for illness with simple cough symptoms and Google would tell you that you have brain tumor.
I can't see why Google would spread such information while it is just doing its algorithm.

That was ridiculous to hear.
This writer making good to manipulate innocent people who never know yet about bitcoin and think negatively about it.
Some writers also making an encouraging thought about Bitcoin and it makes readers feel better and assurance in investing crypto.

Who we gonna think that is telling the truth?
Probably we know that already, none of them. I let people think differently from a person who has less or no interest in crypto will surely spit bad than those who have been there already.

I hope Google will look into this situation and take action for all fake issues so it won't mislead every reader.

You need to clarify things since Google isn't really providing the news here its the crypto news websites their search engine is showing up and yes you are correct that they mainly create FUD in the market. The more controversial or alarming the news they have the more clicks/visits they will have for their website and they will have more money from their ad revenue. Google doesn't really have any point in this since if their SEO is adjusted to show these websites then they don't have any choice but to show their news.

you did not include the news link that you meant, I am curious to see it, I don't have to worry about any news forget it because they are only paid to create chaos, especially news from Google that will never be heard in the crypto community space

It ain't google but it's the cryptocurrency media agencies that are looking for contents like that. You can't stop them if they are covering such news like that. I don't think that they do that to spread fud but they do that for the sake of the content and news.

But if you think that it's just a fud, why you have to worry about bitcoin's stability? it has been volatile yet has a better and stable market than any other cryptocurrency.

Basically there are individuals who writes those shits from their anus without any good understanding of the technology, so, this could just be a click bait for those who don't read headlines before click. FUD is common with the industry and this type can either help in positive or negative FUD. Bitcoin as a stronghold in cryptocurrencies will continue to be strong, personally, this older bitcoin wallets won't be liquidating as the write-up said.
