Topic: Why/how is there so much FUD articles everyday? (Read 212 times)
I think for headlines - but mainly so investors behind the scenes can manipulate the market to drive the price down while they stock up. Banks banning purchases of cryptos to "protect" their customers - everything is self serving. I hate that banks and governments are even involved tbh - I don't think that was the way this is supposed to be.
That's part of the plan in a crazy attempt to bring down bitcoin. As FUDing pushes someone to press the "PANIC SELL" button, it just makes bitcoin's market price to plunge more deeper. Some FUDs are mostly coming from bitcoin haters which motivates other to do the same in hopes of bringing bitcoin down.
It is easy money for the big players. Create fuds, buy bitcoin at low price, clear fuds, sell bitcoin at high price. Rinse and Repeat. The richer these players become, the more dramatic the fuds.
Totally agree. The subpoenas were sent on the 6th of December and yet the "news" only comes out now - definitely people pulling strings to generate FUD and drive the price down. Institutional money is accumulating some coins atm
I really don't mind it. These online news are paid to release exaggerated headlines so it will attract more readers.
They helped us spread bitcoin positivity back in December so I can say that they are just following the trend.

There are bots that trade based on keywords that appear in the press. For example, after Brexit, there were trading bots that sold sterling every time "No deal" was mentioned in the press, and that carried on till the owners of the bots realised they were losing money and being manipulated and changed their criteria for selling.
It's the same for bitcoin - there are bots that sell if the keyword "bitcoin ban" is mentioned in the press. This is huge incentive for people to put out bitcoin-is-banned articles to lower the price. Again this will continue until the bot owners realise they are being manipulated and amend their criteria...

Someone wants to get in on all the fun? But sersiously, I really don't know why people are getting scared a lot these days that a mere mention of bitcoin + ban + lose support makes them want to sell before others do. But ethereum is doing well. So maybe people are just switching sides?
Everything is going on as expected. Market is all about cycles and Bitcoin increased very much in 2017, there were good news everywhere, once a bad news comes it resolved and another rally began.
However in the last month of 2017 price increased up to 20 thousands US Dollars. This brought high media attention to bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies, and also governments started to consider about regulations. If something is under spot lights like bitcoin is now, more people starts to pull it down.
Do not panic, once bitcoin finds a strong support zone, everything will be great. Just wait for weak hands drop

the reason is simple.
buyers want to buy at the cheapest price possible. and when the price is low they like to test the water to find out what is the lowest of the low (the resistance point) before the bottom true value emerges.
so throwing out FUD and also highlighting real problems evaporates all the over hyped speculation and gets to show where the true value is.
and if it shows that no matter what is thrown out at media, only reacts to a price hitting $xxxx but never going lower. than that resistance point is the new yearly low that people can use as their start point
smart investers:
don't invest when the price is high
don't invest when emotions are high
do invest when the price is low
do invest when emotions are low
..
EG
the richest guys of fiat made more money due to the 2008 crises.. making far more after it(in the depressed period) , then before it(in the too big to fail hype period)
all you have to learn is, if with all the doom and gloom bitcoin is still worth many thousands and a house is still worth hundreds of thousands. then your safer in the knowledge of where rock bottom is. to then plan future growth

Govs owns medias and sheeps believes what mainstream medias says. It's manipulation... Only strong hand and true believers will survive.
Since the banks put their nose in the market has become void ...
While I have no doubt that entities everywhere are, at the very least, trying to manipulate the market, I think this is just how the world works now. Everything is sensationalized. You may think it's just the bad news, but the good news are, too. A perfect example is how Bitcoin was the media's investment darling early-December last year.
Nothing good is really happening to Bitcoin right now, so if there's only bad news to tell, then that's all people will talk about. It's best to just take in the facts and ignore all the noise.

These are all attempt to manipulate the market and sadly they do, the whole crypto market still new and volatile and the fact that most of the people how invest in crypto are just looking to make quick bucks.
There are a number of reasons for all the FUD.
Market manipulation would be to the forefront.
Fake and misreported news and people who regurgitate it and spread it.
There is I think a campaign by many mainstream media outlets to sensationalise crypto news especially if its bad or any of the above.
We all need to verify any news before we act on it really.

It's simply market manipulation, maybe it some whale want to reck the newbies so they can buy back cheaper after they taking out the profit. And also I believe the government has a part in it, they didn't like any decentralized technologies and want to make people keep using FIAT.
Some of it is probably an attempt to manipulate the market, though it's difficult to prove unless you have evidence that someone bought or sold Bitcoin after making whatever FUD statement.
On the other hand, news outlets will just publish any sensational story purely for clickbait purposes.
It's pretty clear that anything involving Bitcoin and crypto in general makes for a good story nowadays, so the media will just about take any story they can get, whether it's true or not.

Because bad news sells. Claims its FUD for market manipulation is FUD. Its far easier and more profitable to spread rumors to rise a price than to lower it, so dont believe the conspiracies.
It's attempts to manipulate the market prices. I think it's a good omen for future price rises. The challenge is in deciding when to dive back into investing. 
Because it is easy, we see everyday that people are just throwing their money without thinking clearly. Not many understand what they are doing and manipulation is big problem here. Most of the coins are pure speculation without serving some higher purpose and are only depended on good news. Of course people will try to manipulate the market when they can, above all most of them look at earning money and taking profit out of this.
When it gets to all this recent FUD that you talk about, i truly believe that what's happening right now is simply the big players trying to push bitcoin price as lower as possible before starting the next bull run for massive profits... We've seen this kind of behaviour with the cme contracts... before they happened bitcoin was pump'd as hell, and then they all shorted it for massive profits...
