I think people like those who spread FUD saying Bitcoin is dead maybe they want to take the opportunity to drop Bitcoin and after making everyone panic to sell it, those people have the opportunity to buy and hold it for the long term.
What I did is to let these people think like that, let them panic, and sell their Bitcoin as in the later part they will know that they are wrong. FUDs is spreading around us, it affect our mindset if we believe they right, perhaps they are wrong.
I only say Bitcoin is dead when its price turns to ZERO. I mean when we can never see Bitcoin in the market.
