They are all on Reddit
Was going to say this but you beat me to it, lots of people there are still talking shit about crypto in general so no surprise that people that spread FUD are gathering there. I don't get the appeal of Reddit though, it feels as if you can't really voice a different opinion there and the threads are difficult to navigate. Now that I've read this post, there's not a lot of people in the forum that's creating an account just to spread FUD in these past few months, either they got tired or they're trying to find a new place to spout their nonsensical FUDs, you know where their claims aren't challenged.

I remember a member but not the name, he had an avatar of a bald guy and he always used to say bitcoin is dead or is dying, they are either specialists in FUD area of expertise or simply are trolls.
At one point in time during the ancient fork meltdown era, China had employed several Fudsters  to spread fear in order to dump the price, and it actually worked for a while but later the community started to realize what is going on behind the curtain and who was really profiting off the fake news and FUD.
But now it seems they are unable to find any support around here and just left to go other places. Of course back in the days where people bought into their bs, bitcoin price was less than $200.😅

They probably invested in some altcoins after buying into the 'flippening' hype and got rekt. I'm not familiar with the users you mention but that kind of obsessive negativity towards Bitcoin is typical of many shitcoiners. These people like Peter Schiff hate Bitcoin so much that they make themselves look like clowns by making the most outlandish claims about Bitcoin going to zero whenever there is a big dip only to be proven wrong soon after when there is a major rally.

Majority of those naysayers gave up actually. It used to be worse some days ago but when you're constantly talking bad about something but instead of the subject matter to collapse or get destroyed, it kept going and waxxed stronger, you'd give up because it's obviously a lost game. I could remember anytime Bitcoin is in the news for the wrong reasons, they'd be the first to show up on the forum to talk bad about Bitcoin  Grin

I think they realized this earlier and gave up. I won't be surprised if some of them are now Bitcoin maxis as the saying goes – "if you can't beat them, you join them."

I remember in good old days there was a bunch of notorious Bitcoin naysayers visiting this forum frequently. In particular, I can mention such accounts as Stolfi and Roach (this nazi guy was hilarious actually). I'm sure many forum regulars remember them. There were many others as well, appearing from time to time, posting anti-bitcoin bs and FUD.

Yeah, probably in the early years of bitcoin, because it's obvious, we really don't know what's going to happen next so there are a lot of members who created FUD, anti-bitcoin sentiments to the point that you know that they are trolling.

I have to admit that I rarely visit some parts of this forum, but I haven't seen any anti-Bitcoin accounts active recently. Why is that? There are no naysayers left? Lost interest in this forum? Or maybe I'm not attentive enough and they're still among us?  Grin  

There are still few account left if I'm not mistaken, forget their names though. But I do believed that they are still around. Maybe not giving the time as they used to be because they know that it's no longer effective as those years when bitcoin was just in it's infancy.

Bitcoin have a way of humbling critics, that I know for certain. Before there was a mindset in my neighbourhood that Bitcoin was scam... those of us into Bitcoin then were seen as unwise. Funny enough, some of those critics are hodlers today. Indeed Bitcoin bring to reality the popular saying that "if you can't beat them, join them".

Peradventure the next bull run turns out massive with Bitcoin hitting over $100k, those of them still remaining, if any, will have no choice than to join.

These Bitcoin naysayers are still around, we sometimes see them create threads about Bitcoin doom whenever the bear market sentiments and news is on high.  In fact, I do not think that they will be gone.  They are always lurking around waiting for the chance to say their Bitcoin doom insights.

I do not think that their thought matters since they do not affect my belief in Bitcoin.  I think only those who have shallow knowledge about Bitcoin can be swayed by their Bitcoin naysayers threads.
