FUD

Frogolocalypse

Spreading FUD about bitcoin isn't going to make people buy your shitcoins dawg.

Scared-Ad-5173

The “Bitcoin creates tons of e-waste” argument is wildly overstated and lacks context. 1. ASIC lifespan is longer than claimed. While enterprise miners may upgrade every 2–4 years, older machines (like the Antminer S9) have stayed profitable for 5+ years and are often resold, not trashed. There’s an active secondary market that extends their use well beyond initial deployment. 2. Bitcoin’s e-waste is tiny in context. Estimates put it at ~30,000 tons/year—less than 0.05% of global e-waste (~60 million tons). Smartphones alone generate vastly more waste annually. Data centers and telecoms also dwarf mining’s footprint, yet rarely get the same criticism. 3. Energy != e-waste. Increased energy use doesn't mean more physical waste. Newer ASICs are far more efficient (e.g., S21 vs. S9), meaning fewer devices can do more work. Sometimes, higher energy use comes from keeping old gear running longer—delaying e-waste. 4. Security isn’t doomed post-halving. The network is slowly transitioning from block subsidies to transaction fees. We've already seen fees spike to 75%+ of miner revenue in high-demand periods (e.g., 2017, 2023). It’s a long runway, and Bitcoin has handled three halvings just fine. TL;DR: Bitcoin mining isn’t perfect, but its e-waste impact is negligible compared to mainstream tech. Hardware lasts longer than critics admit, and the security model is adapting as designed. The FUD doesn’t hold up under real data. https://token-information.com/bitcoin-and-e-waste-is-it-really-that-bad/#:~:text=green%20energy%20,for%20between%20%24400%20and%20%24600

Scared-Ad-5173

You’re mixing half-truths with FUD. Yes, ASICs wear out—just like any hardware in any industry. But calling it “a ton of e-waste” ignores scale: Bitcoin’s e-waste is a fraction of global electronics waste, dwarfed by smartphones, data centers, and consumer gadgets replaced yearly. Also, mining rigs aren’t tossed every 5 years. Older ASICs often continue in lower-cost energy regions or secondary markets. Unlike most electronics, they retain value as long as they hash profitably. And citing renewable energy wear? Come on. Every energy-consuming activity technically "uses lifespan"—your phone, fridge, or Google searches included. That CBS article critiques poor recycling policy, not Bitcoin. Cherry-picking weak headlines to fearmonger about Bitcoin doesn’t make for a strong argument—it just shows you don’t understand how the energy economy or hardware lifecycle actually works.

My lord the FUD in the comments is the biggest buy signal ever

dou8le8u88le

Btc, eth and solana mainly. And im not talking about retail, they are gone for now, but whales, nation states, companies, pensions, governments and institutions are buying, and it’s about to ramp up. The markets are currently being manipulated, holding the price back for as long as they can. There is a very significant amount of blind panic and FUD going around. I’m willing to bet in a few months all those pussy’s who panic sold the local bottom will be sidelined and kicking themselves, They’ll probably end up in the buttcoin sub, if they’re not already there.

ObjectiveJackfruit35

Bitcoin is projected to be worth $13 million a coin in 20-25 years. That's all the information you need to pay attention to. Everything else is just noise and FUD. Always has been. People here make the simple act of buying and hodling bitcoin way too damn complicated. It reminds me of that Joey Diaz rant on Rogan like ten years ago where they're arguing about the sativas and the indicas and the THC percentages. As Joey Diaz said, "Just get high dawg." Just buy and HODL, that's all you need to do.

Ragnaroknight

I wouldn't call it FUD, I have less than $50 in crypto. Basically no skin in the game. I'm just genuinely curious as to why this type of adoption is seen as a good thing.

mrpotatonutz

New FUD? Sweet it’s been a minute

Cadenca

Bro you're gonna get carried out on a stretcher. Global liquidity is about to shoot through the roof as Trump destroys the economy. Rates are gonna go super low, and once the worst of the FUD is over Bitcoin will make a faster comeback than you can possibly imagine. You will miss out on the bull peak and you won't feel comfortable enough to buy back since since you dumped much lower. Watch this happen, son.

barthib

The wallet of the Ethereum Foundation is ridiculously small compared to the circulating supply. You need to update your FUD manual

gowithflow192

Finally some sense. But that's OK, I want nonsense to create FUD and plunge the market to bargain levels never seen before. Because eventually the truth will prevail and so will valuations.

FusterClutch

This is so wrong no basis for this whatsoever pure FUD!

LOL. Tether FUD? What year is it? 🤣🤣🤣

arcalus

The ultimate FUD post.

Steezy_Steve1990

Exactly! QE and pro crypto regulations are coming. These are extremely bullish for crypto. We just need to get past this tariff FUD, which I think Trump will be pressured to stop in the next few months. Everything other than Trump stirring the shit pot is actually lining up perfectly for a Q3 or Q4 alt season imo.

Head_Umpire3635

This is my first cycle not getting FUD, and hodling all my assets. I feel the same way as you. I missed the train twice before, not happening again this time

50 thousand foot view - Simply Bitcoin (Podcast) Episode 956 - Lawrence Leopard Simply Bitcoin IRL If still interested then his book "The Big Print". 3rd which starts getting more in the macroeconomic weeds is Lynn Alden. Her book "Broken Money" is great. At this point, you'll probably have a pretty good idea of the disservice that has been done to the average person from a macroeconomic and financial standpoint. They'll mention Bitcoin as a possible solution but you'll probably still be limited on your understanding of how it works technically. It takes a long time to understand, but some good starting points are Andreas Antonopoulos, bitcoin.org, and a multitude of podcasts like Swan Signal or Bitcoin Audible (it's beneficial to go back to old episodes). To be honest I haven't found a 30 minute quick and dirty comprehensive technical summary of the main parts of Bitcoin and it's segregation of duties. Id also recommend Alex Gladstein for some of the real world impacts of Bitcoin mining. It's really exceptional stuff and will provide real world examples that kill the energy use FUD.

Hidden5G

It is. With the right knowledge and investments, you can secure your comfortable future imo. Research ISO 20022 compliant tokens, stay away from meme coins, no matter how good it may sound…even btc which was recently labeled a meme coin by the coinbase CEO recently and isolated in its own reserve away from utility tokens. This advice will be downvoted by the btc maxis, don’t let that sway you. those that know me know I don’t care about downvotes, or fear any btc maxi FUD. ISO 20022 is inevitable, it’s a SWIFT mandated deadline for late Nov 25.

etherenum

I haven't suggested otherwise. >Social consensus is the only thing that keeps a decentralised system going, be it Bitcoin or Ethereum. And Vitalik is not social consensus - this is now in the realms of baseless FUD. Possibility and likelihood are different. Again, I haven't suggested otherwise. Circling back to price does not change anything that I have said, and indeed notice how nothing I have said is about current price - look forward, not back, and focus on understanding. The answer is nuanced, but in time the nuance will be understood.

Val500crusher

There is so much FUD in this comment, I don't even know where to begin. Let's go point by point. The rumour that the owner was also the owner of Syncus has been refuted, and was started by some Twitter user. Where can I find that video? There haven't even been sales that big if you check Dexscreener. What about the platform is not functional? They are waiting to achieve CEX listings, which is not an easy or straightforward process. How is WhiteRock to blame? CEX listings are obviously in their interest too. Specify these 'partners'? If you're referring to the common FUD about BlackRock not partnering with WhiteRock, the specifics are that WhiteRock sources the yield for USDX from their short-term US treasury bond ETFs. Not a partnership in a traditional sense. I personally have swapped crypto for tokenized stocks and vice versa. In the docs on their website, you can read how the structure operates through DeepSea Fund. You can see for yourself and conclude that WhiteRock operates in a bankruptcy-remote structure, meaning that you will retain ownership of the assets held by custodians like StoneX.

Just another FUD post

Ulysses_Zopol

I am astonished how Saylor has the stamina to respond to the ever same, decade old FUD with ever new variations of the same answers.

KIG45

I'm not an Eth maxi, quite the opposite. But save your FUD for after 2025.

Numerous_Ruin_4947

Go look at the charts. I posted facts. The Bitcoin price on March 30 , 2021 was around $59,000. The Bitcoin price is now $83,000. It's March 30, 2025. Around 1 BTC block is produced ever 10 minutes. That was the case in 2021 and now in 2025. The current block reward is 3.125. The block reward in 2021 was double, 6.25 BTC. The dollar's purchasing power has declined a lot since 2021 - perhaps more than 19%. Go do the calculations yourself. The point is very valid. Do you think BTC miners will just magically spend millions mining a coin when their rewards are minuscule? There is a giant question mark around how Bitcoin will be secured 12-24 years from now. The Bitcoin hash rate is already very volatile, and swings by 30% in days. Ethereum staking is much more stable, even with all the FUD, poor price performance, and market sentiment. Ethereum is being battle tested. How do you think BTC mining will hold up if Bitcoin's price performance was as bad as ETH or as much FUD was directed at Bitcoin?

Numerous_Ruin_4947

The reason the BTC price is so high is because of ZERO FUD. Almost Nobody on Youtube is talking about Bitcoin's terrible Economic Security. MSM and politicians don't talk about it. ETH is the only one that has seen major FUD. But that won't go on forever.

Stay humble and stack your sats... this is the way. Nobody cares what price you got your coins at or what work you did to earn them. And yes, never fall for the fomo or the FUD.

hodler1992

FUD shitposts like yours are the best sign that bullrun is approaching. 99% of the crypto investors will lose money because they are paperhands. Don't cry afterwards

x_you

It’s easy to shit on Coinbase because of their subpar customer support and their high fees. BUT Coinbase has no reason to underfund. Government, corporations, and ETF’s use them for a reason. And they pass quarterly external audits. This is just FUD.

RivellaEnthusiast

The FUD/ complete ignorance on this sub is insane. Yes the price action has been awful, but Ethereum is still by far the most used blockchain by any meaningful metric. This is not my opinion, this is reality. And before two digit IQs say I'm just a bag holder, I started buying in 2020 and am still way up on my cost basis. It is the only L1 used by institutions at scale with 6x the total value locked of Solana, and holds over 50% of the entire stablecoin market. Moving forward, it is also the clear leader for RWA tokenization as well, which could be trillion dollar market. All this, and it's actually decentralized, unlike Ripple's shitcoin or the crypto casino. If you open your eyes, you will see the current price presents the best opportunity for a 10-20x over the coming decade of any established project.

Trick-daddy-420

I know it sounds kinda silly but I really do think Trump might be doing a classic Trump move like he did with TikTok. He was one of the people who first supported a tiktok ban and then when it went through he swept in and got to be the "hero" by "saving" tiktok lol. I think the same thing might be happening with stocks and crypto. He's intentionally sparking FUD by proposing tariffs and threatening trade wars and then at some point he gets to the hero again by opening the flood gates for crypto and stocks and gets to take credit for it. Would be a classic Trump move, let's be real here.

Impressive_Lychee_34

Terrible ETH performance. So I go and visit the ethereum subchannel and I see some people saying there is FUD, and people are trolling because they are complaining about the lowest ETH/BTC in years. Big echochamber.

bilstream

2021 people said it was tolate, and we early. BTC 55-66k. 2023 BTC was dead, 16k… You make the call. I care if btc hits 30k again, would fucking empty my savings to buy like crazy!!! Now, im buying on each big FUD. Waiting to april 2 to buy more, think its going more down, but still have lots of btc. Wont fucking sell. If you can get even get 0.01 btc now, you will not regret in 10 years, maybe only regret you didnt buy more 😂 like how we all regret we didnt buy 2021/2022 ath

bailtail

Not really seeing how making an accurate statement is “creating FUD”. The fact that this happens every month rather than this month, specifically, doesn’t exactly help your argument or make it less of a negative for XRP.

partymsl

Yeah, really deliberate effort of creating FUD here.

Hidden5G

He’s clueless. I corrected all his FUD. the maxis are in full blown panic, we know it..they know it…they know we know it. And there’s nothing they can do about it other than downvote or insult/deflect using parrot talking points.

GrouchyAd9824

Right? I can't say I didn't fall for the "FUD" a bit at first because everyone was wording it like they have half a billion up on 40x leverage. That had a big shock factor and seemed reasonable to be an insider betting on a catastrophic event happening. Then I looked at the wallet like "Wayment, this is just a regular ol' degen screwing around".

Tsunamisquare

Dumb decision on my end, back a few months ago when SOL/BTC was looking tasty, sol was looking to break out i swapped .7 BTC for around 280 SOL. Bunch of FUD happened SOL/BTC crashed hard. Well you know the story from here lost about 50k on that swap. RIP.

LaserCondiment

I'm really sorry but this is clearly FUD. War? cmon.

Cirewess

You say that but there's still disguised whales from the ICO / premine. And how come Vitalik knows how to time tops perfectly? Lmao they sell ETH to fund the network, it's not a bad thing but they do it just like all other blockchains. ETH is an unlimited Supply. There's no hard cap. It's not FUD. Don't get me started on the split away from original ETH

Spaceseeds

Such a bullshit take. Real estate is not fiat and homes in Bitcoin terms have significantly become cheaper. Next FUD maybe you can actually try doing a bit of research first

thesatdaddy

MSM FUD. They’ve worked very hard to make it so you can’t be a good little liberal if you support something that’s “only used by criminals” and “uses half the energy of Argentina” or whatever. And more recently Trump is “pro crypto” so therefore it must be bad.

This FUD is ridiculous. If SHA-256 gets broken, the world will have much much larger issues than bitcoin. At least bitcoin can be upgraded to be QC resistant.

General_Strike356

There is no rug pull. They are not preventing people from unlocking their pi. If they wanted to scam, they could have had an ICO to do it. If they wanted to rug pull, they could have set that up a lot faster than this. It took 6 years to launch pi, probably only would have taken months or a couple of years at most to set up for a rug pull. I do not believe the pi network subreddit is deleting or blocking posts. All you have to do is go over there to see it. On the other hand, the pi network chats themselves are useless, that’s why I come here. Stop with the FUD. They worked 6 years. They have a lot more work to do. But #11 is well deserved.

sks143

The point is understanding the difference between strategy and emotion. The mistake isn’t selling at 69K or 100K. The mistake is selling without knowing why, because of panic, FUD, or hype. If you’re making moves with a plan and long term vision, you’ll be fine. If not, you’ll be the guy buying back higher wondering what happened.

Just FUD.

AvatarOfMomus

Nothing in specific exactly. In general I'd suggest finding and listening to folks those communities would accuse of spreading 'FUD' since you're not likely to find any 'balanced' views that don't come down one way or the other. When the value of the asset is largely driven by hype cycles anyone expressing skepticism gets pretty quickly labeled as 'spreading FUD' and thus finds themselves on the outside of the group.

Rent_South

Bro, the title is FUD. You are misreading the room. If he actually owned all of this bitcoin personally it would be a significant point of failure. But its not him owning it, it is his shareholders (him included), and investors that own this bitcoin through the entity that is MSTR.

I also saw some FUD on X about China invading Taiwan soon after the deal they made for manufacturing in the U.S. Apparently China isn't fond of that happening.

The answer is FUD. Paying attention to negative news about bitcoin, seeing the price go down, and selling... That's why it's better to just stack sats, and don't stop until you're financially free.

Facts don’t care about age. Either my argument is wrong, or it’s right. you’re out here calling me “too young and uneducated” because… why? Because I actually understand history? Because I don’t just repeat the same tired ‘bubble’ FUD that’s been wrong for 15 years straight? 2008 wasn’t about banks ‘buying’ bad assets, it was about them SELLING bad debt to people who didn’t understand what they were investing in. Banks packaged subprime mortgages (loans given to people who couldn’t afford them!!!!) into securities, misrepresented them as safe, and dumped them onto institutions and retail investors. Bitcoin isn’t bad debt. It has no counterparty risk, no hidden liabilities, no fake AAA ratings. The mortgage crash happened because people didn’t know what they were investing in.. People know exactly what Bitcoin is. Decentralized, scarce, and beyond the control of banks.

XRP/MLM community similiarities: * Both groups often foster a cult-like sense of belonging where members reinforce each other's beliefs. * Critics or skeptics are labeled as "haters," "FUD spreaders" (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt), or accused of working for the competition. * XRP investors frequently discuss *when* (not *if*) XRP will reach astronomical prices (e.g., "$10,000 per XRP"), **much like MLM recruits are promised financial freedom**. * The belief that early adopters will become wealthy is a key motivator in both communities. * Both groups cherry-pick positive news and ignore or dismiss negative reports (everytime a bank cooperated with Ripple you have spam bots about XRP adoption by said bank, always made up stuff) * Critical analysis is often met with hostility rather than open discussion. * XRP investors follow certain influencers (e.g., YouTubers, Twitter accounts - always using hype terminology, like bombshell or big reveal) who constantly reinforce bullish narratives. * MLM recruits similarly rely on motivational speakers and company leaders who sell them the dream. * XRP fans often believe in grand conspiracies, such as a hidden plan for XRP to replace the U.S. dollar or secret government adoption. * MLM communities also believe that "big corporations" or "9-5 jobs" are suppressing their path to financial freedom. In both there is always that new supressing thing that stops all members / investors from getting rich, always a new storyline * When price predictions fail or regulatory setbacks occur, XRP believers shift narratives to explain why success is still inevitable. * Similarly, MLM failures are blamed on "not working hard enough" or needing to "trust the process" longer.

Find better sources. DBCrypto and Wazz are notorious for constantly trying to FUD Solana.

Altruistic-Loan-2271

Why does everyone start screaming “crypto is a scam, the market is a scam, stocks are a scam” every time we see a correction and the market turns red? I’ve been trading for 6-7 years, and every time we get a pullback, the same reaction happens. But guess what? The overall trend is still up. Open a Bitcoin chart, draw a trendline, and you’ll see—we haven’t even broken it. We’re still holding above key trend levels. This is a normal correction—without corrections, the market cannot grow. That’s basic technical analysis. Apply at least a minimum level of TA, and you’ll see there’s no reason to panic. Or maybe… you’re a secret agent of the bear market trying to spread FUD? 😏 But listen, even though I’m Grizzly, I always trade LONG—I’m always on the side of the bulls. Open the charts, do your own fundamental analysis, and stop panicking. These are the best opportunities to average into your positions on spot or take advantage of futures trades. Just use this chance instead of selling in fear. Never panic. Believe in Bitcoin. The power is on our side. 🚀

dirodvstw

Please y’all go sell your Bitcoin so we can go up. Yes, we are going down, yes it’s going to zero, yes bull market is over, yes we are going to the 50’s again, yes BTC just follows TradFi, yes it’s not worth the risk over stocks, yes blah blah blah blah blah blah. Paper hands get the fuck out out. You don’t deserve to hold this asset if all you do is spread bullshit and FUD around. Go buy bonds or CD’s or some other bullshit cause you clearly shouldn’t be invested in this. Please, just go, I beg you. Just leave if you are gonna cry us a river every single fucking day.

General_Strike356

I agree there are issues, and core team is not very transparent but I haven’t heard anyone complaining about some of the things you are talking about. I am active on both the pi subreddit and the Pi senior pioneer chat. Seems like you are overreacting to me. Or it’s just FUD. Pi has earned its #11 ranking. They spent years building a community of pioneers all over the world. They had an outstanding debut, what other coin has achieved what they have in less than a month on the market. Lots of FUD in USA, but in other countries, especially in Asia, they are very bullish on Pi. Mining and buying both. We have just begun!

People have a lot of expectations for Pi day. If they are met, it goes up. If they are not, it will go down. Either way, the effect will be temporary. As Pi gets more established, we will see more organic growth. This is likely. While Americans are full of FUD about Pi, the Asians are not, and there are millions of them. Hold, or take a profit here and there. In the long run, Pi is a good place to be!

FUD-i-licious nonsense.

I can think of a few reasons: 1. They are noobies 2. They invested money they can't afford to lose into crypto 3. FUD trolls

Or maybe it’s just wanting to get the latest news without haters and FUD bots and dorks who are obsessed with Trump. I look at post histories for guys like you and wish you’d stay in WallStreetBets and continue wasting your money on options and gamestop.

The FUD and Hopium cycle never ends!

I’ve found it very helpful to just block the repeat offenders. They are most likely bots spreading FUD or sad incel types anyway.

To your question, I ask you this: With all the shit XRP has been through for over a decade now - coordinated FUD, Hinman free pass, SEC attack, how is it still #3? No other coin - except Bitcoin - is even still near the top 10 - and they had no “shit” happen to them. Only two coins have been the top 10 by market cap their entire existence - Bitcoin and XRP. Bitcoin has all the support and XRP has all the hate. I’ve been hearing “XRP is going to 0” since 2016, and somehow it hasn’t yet. If I had listened to all the lies, my net worth wouldn’t be hundreds of thousands of dollars right now. So no, not suddenly safe, it’s been safe.
