FUD

Sacredwisp

There is very little FUD. Quantum is basically a meme, and so is MSTR selling 32 BTC. We've already retraced down the the 200 week moving average like every other bear market and hit several bottom indicators from the prior cycles at only -50%, such as over half the coins being underwater. This range was also the top in 2021, where it acted as resistance for nearly a year, and we spend 8 months accumulating here mid-cycle in 2024. We've also hit bullish divergence on the weekly RSI I believe, like we did on the FTX crash. Other than the % drawdown being lower and the mythology of "it must bottom on October", the technicals are all saying we've either bottomed already, or very close to it. I'm not saying it can't go lower. It absolutely can. I also expect we still have at least several months of chop left before it starts grinding up. That said, expecting it to crash to 50k or lower when sentiment is already shot and sellers are exhausted is wishful thinking unless we get another black swan and stock market crash. This is a fantastic price right now, and I expect we end the year on an uptrend with the next bull market started. Then, all the people who sold and are waiting for 40-50k are going to get sidelined and have to buy in higher again, pushing the market up even more.

ETFs are still holding 1.44M Bitcoin. Current outflows are insignificant. Stop the FUD.

No_Thanks2844

There is so much FUD and ETF outflows, why can't this thing just crash to like $40k, what is holding it above $60k?

Original-Assistant-8

Used to be always dismissed as a FUD narrative. Now just about every chain is making claims about how they will easily transition. Guess it's good they got the memo. Since it will be a requirement to be considered secure. But the narrative becomes noise. Only QANplatform has innovation designed for a smooth transition, both on chain and for enterprise. Integrated in business solutions like Signquantum - being promoted through Crowe and Itti. Ueno bank is one of the first customers. That's incoming demand, not just talking points.

Easier to mine blocks more mimers will come online, the network is working as expected. FUD is nonsense.

Brawlah

I couldn't agree more. It took me a couple years to train myself to not check. Eventually the algorithms reset and you wont see the YouTubers spreading FUD or FOMO. Definitely best to set and forget!

Low-Method3448

This is the same FUD as China banning mining, FTX collapse, Japanese carry trade implosion etc.

Thanks for the FUD 🌈🐻

I have done my research. Maybe you should too. Like i said it's not FUD. Don't worry i am living my best life!

Quantum deadline is getting closer and a full on-chain migration might take years and congest the network and cause lot's of problems. This is not FUD it's gonna be a real challenge.

Equivalent_Menu_1096

Ah, el famoso "June 10th 2022". Recuerdo ese día, justo cuando todo se estaba yendo al carajo con el invierno cripto. La gente flipaba con los precios, pero lo que más me marcó fue ver cómo los mods intentaban mantener el orden mientras el sub se llenaba de FUD y gente pidiendo ayuda. ¿Alguien más recuerda los threads de "Skeptics" vs "Optimists" ese mes? Era como ver dos realidades paralelas chocar.

HoffyToTheMoon

There are "Blue Chip" tokens tho. Some of them will not only survive but they will thrive as industries change. The keno example is off because all the numbers of keno are just that, numbers with no other differences. More than one token will survive and if you pick ten and 4 of them do really well, a person should have no problem covering the entire investment and some. Most of the people who invest in crypto lose, why not diversify into some of the top market cap tokens? Some of them will fail and some of them will succeed. Spreading out a bit helps you catch those comets before they take off. I can't imagine the stress of the people who only hold one or two tokens right now, it's basically all or nothing for them and any kind of FUD will potentially push new investors out because they don't realize the losses are across the entire market. If people truly believe Blockchain technology is the future, diversification helps reduce risk in an extremely risky environment. Most investors would prefer peace of mind in this space and diversification in my mind helps ease the stress and take the emotion out of it

wasntforthewind

This isn't FUD, I've been waiting for adoption half my life. The cycle doesn't bring new adopters, just new speculators.

stock-prince-WK

Funny cause I feel the total opposite of bullet point 1 I have a great feeling of uneasiness when BTC is pumping hard because I am still planning huge buys at current range or lower and seeing it take off hurts when I don’t feel like I have enough money in 😫 All that other FUD I don’t feel at all with Bitcoin. If you know you know. Nothing can waiver those feelings inside.

Impossible_Excuse937

Of course, you’re correct, quantum hacks bitcoin then it’s worth is pretty much gone. However, there is a lot of FUD around quantum, drill into reports of supposed quantum breakthroughs and they don’t quite tell the full story. Will quantum hack bitcoin and current security at some point? Potentially. Will this be in the next 10 years? Doubtful, probably not even in the next 20 years.

Able-Juggernaut1224

Are you serious right now? Wtf. Every 4 year cycle is a new cycle of adoption. We’re still early. Stop spreading FUD.

FitCompetition1804

That’s not why BTC dropped. May have slightly contributed but 32 BTC and some FUD was not the cause.

pommesUNDwurst

I don't know... But literally nobody was euphoric about BTC in 2025. Even compared to 2024 with the ETFs and the big 100k. There was basically no interest in the broader public. Just as now. I haven't seen any FUD from influencers or perma bulls. Most just accepted the bearmarket. If we go by sentiment alone. I would expect it to go significantly lower.

Captain_Planet

I was trying to buy in when it was closer to that price but in the UK it was hard to find an exchange you could, just watched the price go up and up before I could buy! My better buys were in 2014 and 15, I thought well Bitcoin hasn't been "hacked" as was the FUD at the time and it had crashed like this before, nothing had really changed. Obviously no one had mentioned the 4 year cycle then, wasn't until the 2021 peak I was fully signed up to it!

ZEALOUS_RHINO

The last remaining bull case is calling FUD on people that see whats happening and telling people that crashes are normal and a buying opportunity just simply because it crashed. Fundamentals strong as ever lol.

Far-Photograph-2342

That kind of post should be allowed, honestly. If someone has held BCH for years and is questioning whether the thesis still makes sense, that is a valid discussion - not just “FUD.” Every crypto community needs room for uncomfortable questions. Otherwise it becomes an echo chamber where people can only post when they are bullish. As for whether to sell or hold, I would try to separate emotion from the decision. The money is already in BCH, so the real question is: if you had that same amount in cash today, would you buy BCH again over BTC, ETH, or something else? If the answer is no, that tells you something.

SpendHefty6066

Read all 83 pages. Interesting perspective. Some good points, like making war less viable. Confiscation resistant. Did not cover censorship resistance which is a huge point. Focused too much on his hatred of his notion of Bitcoiners IMHO. Was he projecting? Also, did throw a lot of FUD out there on listing all the negatives towards the end. Not sure if this will orange pill anyone. Or merely leave them with unanswered doubts and concerns. Thanks for translating it. 🙏🏼

FUD

theseawoof

FUD has been constant throughout the life of crypto, it's kinda tradition. As much as he's responsible for shit I feel like that's a stretch and kind of an insult to crypto lol. I guess he's the current thing to point the finger at 🤷 market manipulation is new with Trump, and if crypto is what it is then it can't be fucked with. Insider trading oil is irrelevant to the penetrability of crypto

fester__addams

Bitcoin rewards patience. The current state is to be expected. Ignore the FUD.

Ar0war

don´t try, they just don´t get it. I have been around for so long that i grew out of this subreddit and coming back i just see FUD and negativity, that only means we are deep into a bear market. They will be out of here soon and we probably get 2 years and a half of people forgetting Bitcoin exists.

CartographerFit2169

Contrarian signals are pretty reliable in crypto space, when the FUD gets really thick that's usually when smart money starts accumulating

Affolektric

Depends in what sense. He can’t seize or freeze your Bitcoins - or print more. Be just like he fucks the economy for the gains of his family and friends - he can with crypto. Research the ETH adress related to his son in law who placed short orders for tens of millions 30min before Trump announced some FUD about crypto - or the other way around. Or who placed long for hundreds of millions on crude oil momemts before Trump attacked Iran. I am not talking about technical aspects but economical. People won’t play without trust.

> none have as good tokenomics The issue with ETH tokenomics is that it's an unlimited supply coin. It will always inflate and the so called burn mechanism introduced was only a "mask the problem", never a solution. If anything it stole the wealth from node operators that provided the service for L1. To make matters worse the L2's have stolen even more wealth from L1 but Vitalik saw this too late and now they're trying to back track what they've done with L2's because they realized the big mistake of all the value and profits went to L2 leaving L1 barebone. After seeing all the FUD against Cardano, I have made the decision to split my next investment straight to BTC and ADA moving forward. I've been using, supporting, mining and then staking ETH for a long time now ever since it's been at $5. Haven't decided on the % split how much for BTC vs ADA to invest in but BTC the big daddy king will most definitely get the lion share. ADA to me looks like a great opportunity to get into now as was ETH at $5. Also ADA has a limited supply so their tokenomics is better vs ETH and a proven track record just as much if actually a better track record then ETH if you take into account the prior ETC/ETH debacle and a number of ETH bridge hacks that occurred. o7

VeryThicknLong

Finally, some sense. Most HODLers have turned off at this point because the FUD just gets too much. But I welcome the sensible comments.

dee_lio

FUD. They fear that it's going to go to zero, they're uncertain that it will recover, and they doubt it will remain as an asset.

SoundMoneyWade

You definitely have the right idea. How do you actually do it, how do you manage emotions when FUD and FOMO are there during drops and at ATHs? Is it conviction of the asset, the cycle or something else?

Sugar_Phut

FUD central. These dips and crashes are where fortunes are made.

colonisedlifeworld

Cycle won’t be complete without FUD comments like this. Thank you for participating.

OP, get out of here with ya scare mongering FUD crap. All the money going into this or that, it's so boring. GTFO

GrixM

Thr electricity reduction has in fact saved thousands of lives. I don't care what the price does or what FUD maxis throw our way, it was a massive success and I'd go as far and say that any chain that doesn't follow now that the tech is proven is morally reprehensible.

kaedoge

FUD cycle. Bottom is in.

CleanEarthInitiative

Lmao quantum ain’t anywhere close, coming from someone who works adjacent to this field. At best, we’re likely years to decades away from quantum computers being able to realistically break something like Bitcoin’s encryption/signatures at scale. And when that day comes, Bitcoin won’t be the only concern. Banking, government systems, messaging, basically the whole internet’s current cryptography stack would be at risk. Like every major evolution in technology, encryption protocols will evolve, and that includes open-source systems like Bitcoin. Of all the FUD around BTC, “quantum is breaking it any day now” is one of the last things I’d be worried about if you know anything about that field in tech.

Quirky-Reveal-1669

FUD is at an extremely high level. So yes.

popoppopcorn

Yes, relax and don't sell at a loss. The FUD spreaders will say BTC is dead as they always do during these times and you will feel an immense pressure to sell at a loss. Don't fall for it.

jeffereeee

OP, I was exactly where you are in early 2018. I went all in at the high of 2017. I held and had conviction, ignored all the FUD, the Governments, Banks, China, everything. I retired last August, on Bitcoin. I admit I had some coins from 2014, not many though, my main stack was bought in 2017. So, hang on in there, you will be fine as long as you hold.

Blade_Runner_69

Sick of these bot ass FUD posts. Adds zero value to the sub or any discussion

Eppursimuove1633

Z cash crash is funny and predictable. All the crypto brows been pushing it last several weeks to pump their bags and now look. Always ignore them. There has also been a coordinated FUD campaign on these groups against crypto in general (except for Z cash and former shit like Sui) for two to three months trying to get everyone to sell their major blue chip crypto like ETH and BTC and buy tech stocks at their peak instead. Sell crypto low, but stocks at historical high. Soon those stocks will dump and money will cycle back into crypto. Fun to watch the coaster, lot easier than chasing it.

TooFewTulips

These obvious FUD posts are hilarious. Keep em coming!

Nettret

Now is not the time to be helpful; focus on FUD and fill the bags.

man_without_wax

God I'm loving all this ETH FUD. Very promising despair.

Prestigious_Long777

Been here for > 10 years. This nothing new. The same old FUD, the same old cycle. In a few years people panic when the price drops to 125k. Almost consistently the previous ATH becomes the low of the next bulk market, with some margin. It’s the same cycle on repeat. Friendly reminder the S&P 500 crashed 50% during Covid.

Laukess

"bitcoin is slow" -> You are right that Visa doesn't settle, and I think that's an important point. You could dismantle the argument even more by mentioning Lightning or 2nd layers in general. Also, if you don't care about bitcoins properties that make it better money than fiat, you could easily make a centralized layer that could do way more transactions than Visa. As an example, if you use Bitance's internal transfer between different account holders, you can do A LOT of transactions for free. They are even cheaper than Visa. "power usage" -> think your right. It's just the cost and it's worth it. A lot of shit that's a lot less valuable uses a lot of power. This is probably outdated, but back when I first heard this FUD, the US consumed more power drying their cloths, than the bitcoin network consumed. "store of value" -> again, agree with your argument. Even if you disagree, bitcoin is still in it's adoption phase. The idea that the price can't stabilize in the future, because it was volatile in the past is retarded. And I think it will be a lot less volatile in the future. "Distribution of bitcoin" -> I think this is sort of a dumb argument. The addresses that hold a lot of bitcoin are exchanges, not individuals. I haven't dug into the data, but it's like saying some stock is centralized between 5 companies, because the holders custody their shares on centralized platforms. How centralized are fiat? Surely the major banks hold a large portion of their customers fiat, no? "Unit of account" -> Again, it's being adopted. The idea that it won't become a unit of account tomorrow, because it's not today is dumb. This is probably going to take a long time for bitcoin to become a unit of account, but I think that's okay.

Laukess

Funny how the FUD never seem to change, interesting that they always ignore the response, but I guess they have to, otherwise their arguments fall flat. I liked your counter argument, and you could easily have added even more arguments against some of his points, but then it wouldn't have been as short.

Taraih

Everybody is panicking, MSTR thing going on, even unrelated subs starting to spread FUD, CRAMER saying its OVER. This is the time you buy, similar to 16-20k area last bear market

Independent_Rule_417

I remember people contemplating exactly the same thing during LUNA's crash. Though ADA isn't comparable to LUNA, it is still comparable to a house of cards: A lot of Cardano's businesses depend on the value of their ADA reserves. As ADA falls lower more of it needs to be sold just to keep the lights on, because bills are paid in USD or EUR. There are still some committed ADA buyers, but more and more retail investors are quitting due to the poor price action, so there are less and less buyers to absorb the price decrease. Often these same retail investors are the primary users of the network, so network usage also decreases. As usage decreases, businesses will exhaust their treasuries more quickly and start laying off workers or even stop operating completely. This tends to create FUD with further negative impact on long term holders. So there are multiple mutually reinforcing negative feedback loops, hence the house of cards analogy (but Cardano's decline will be nowhere near as fast as LUNA, which was basically a bank-run). So where's the real bottom? You might think to look at the network revenue, and then compare to the lower market caps of blockchains with a similar revenue, adding a premium for "superior technology". The problem is that network fees are charged in ADA, and lower price of ADA means lower network revenue. So I don't think there is a fundamental bottom, it's all just speculation. (I guess this applies to most alts, but Cardano is the only chain I have serious experience with)

Excuse_Unfair

Long time holder no where near some of you guys. Under $400 so not super early im holding cause ive already took a lot of profit and what I have now is just profit. Ima keep it as a "just in case" plan All that being said i lost faith in btc and crypto in general. Even before all the FUD honestly not impress with how far we've gotten.

matchday_museum

Peak FUD :D ps. critical bug yes, but if exploited we would have zec for 4$, not 400

_Commando_

> Wallets holding at least one million ADA now control about 25.09 billion tokens This makes no sense... holding ADA doesn't give you control of other tokens. You holding at least 1 million ADA gives u control of your own 1 million ADA... Thank you Mr. obvious... > Wallets holding at least one million ADA now control about 25.09 billion tokens — roughly 67% of supply — after steadily accumulating since late 2023 despite a 71% drop in market value over nine months. (CoinDesk) That's the highest concentration since July 2020, with the holdings themselves at their highest level since December 2017. (The Coin Republic) And it's still going — whale wallets absorbed another ~454.7 million ADA between late 2025 and early 2026, alongside nearly 67.9 million ADA withdrawn from Coinbase into private wallets, reducing liquid supply on exchanges. (CoinPedia) On top of that, roughly 58% of circulating supply — about 21 billion ADA — is actively staked, and Cardano allows staking without lockups or slashing, which makes long-term holders comfortable parking it rather than keeping it liquid. (CoinPedia) On the capitulation side, it's the small wallets bleeding out. Wallets holding 100–1,000 ADA shed about 76 million tokens (a 15.6% drop), and the 1,000–10,000 tier released around 320 million ADA (14.4%) over the same window. (Yahoo Finance) So the texture is: retail handing size to whales at a low cost basis, supply draining off exchanges into cold storage and staking. It's the classic "smart money buying while retail sentiment stays subdued" divergence that has historically preceded reversals — though the same analysts are careful to note it doesn't guarantee one. This just feels like some AI Slop and FUD...

gods_loop_hole

Saylor already realized it lol But seriously, the number of FUD on Reddit is not new, I survive twice of these already. When it starts pumping again, you would see people praising it again as if it was manna from God. The cycle continues.

_Commando_

Welcome to the bear market, take a seat over there and put this hat on so we don't loose you in all the FUD since you're new.

willofscott

More FUD, get your facts straight man…MSTR didn’t sell In 2022 in the traditional sense, they sold 704 for tax loss and rebought 810 2 days later, that not selling. Keep it accurate. This 32 was just a display that it can if need be, and it won’t stop the world turning.

willofscott

Kiyosaki disregard, Cuban disregard, The to use “dump” is to FUD In your own words… Saylor sold 32 BTC just to show he could, thats like 2.5 million dollars, like .00000001% of anything, they don’t need 2.5 million they have billions coming constantly. He sold 32 and turned around and buys 1000’s everytime, I believe days after he sold 32. It was to get that out of the way, it shows MSTR has more strength… being they can if need be - sell alittle to get through any difficult times, it’s actually really bullish. It protects the ones buying STRC which is the money flow for buying bitcoin. Anything which promotes STRC sales is bullish for BTC. Watch your accidental FUD, not needed. The other two guys, who cares about them, both just want to be in the lime light.

Crivos

It’s a FUD campaign to drive BTC price down before the clarity act passes and sends the price of bitcoin up.

Rob_56399

Its just mass market psychology / manipulation... Top dogs accumulate assets, build up FOMO, drive prices up, sell for profit, create FUD, drive price down, accumulate more, keep prices down, accumulate more.... build up FOMO and so on and so forth Its just a long term shake out, youre either in it for the long run, timing your entries and exits to follow the money, or you are losing

AbroadMission8919

FUD

Eksander

Your heart is in the right place, but it is actually completely irrelevant whether the max supply is 21M or 20M (excluding Satoshi ~1M). If he sold right now, it would be a gift for bitcoiners. Those who understand that what matters is the protocol, not the USD price or the "immaculate conception" would get a second opportunity while others panic. If he does not sell, then there are 1M less coins, which is fine, although it remains as a source of lingering FUD. Comparing btc early mining with orchestrated pre-mints is not accurate IMO

WarniCator

There’s so much FUD on Reddit it’s not even funny. If BTC drops to 50k we gonna start seeing suicide Hotline.

HumanChocolate3310

I don’t think you fully understand AI if you think it’s steps away from breaking blockchain. The FUD is that the amount of qubits needed to break blockchain seems to be lower than initially expected, however we are still significantly under the amount of logical quibits needed to break private keys. The range of logical quibits needed is estimated to be around 1200-1500 state of the art systems currently use 30-48. So we have a lot of work in the AI space, time in which BTC developers have to create quantum resistant addresses. If people don’t upgrade when the time comes, they could be the possibility they lose their coins to AI. But developers are proposing some solutions for this as well, they are just a bit controversial

Laukess

Understand why you invested in the first place. I have yet to hear a single good argument against bitcoin, so all the FUD posts on here, are just kind of funny. This is nothing new. Each cycle we see dips like this. It's been quite tame so far, so I imagine there's more down pressure to come. But how is that not exciting. We always recover so most people should be excited to be able to buy at these prices. I bet a lot of people wish they would lower their avg. purchase price.

Vetrol_

It's uncommon to lose value by holding 4+ years, with the exception of buying the cycle top and selling the bear market bottom 5/6 years later. Massive FUD or feeling bad = buy opportunity Masaive FOMO, excitement or the urge to show your profits to someone else = sell opportuniy

Independent_Role_165

If he has said that I would be inclined to ignore the FUD. But he came out saying he sold on purpose to show people it wouldn’t crash, like a weird psychological game, which makes me think it’s not just for accounting purposes. Will he sell more? Dunno. His reasoning didn’t make sense

MushroomDizzy649

You will realize Mt Gox FUD has no bearing on price. It always comes out when BTC is going down

GeeEyeDoe

FUD He bought like 3000 the week before and did nothing to price

theabominablewonder

Go and sell it then. If you don’t think the current price is investable and there are better investments then do it. Sell it now and go and put your money elsewhere. Don’t think about your loss, just consider if you have the value you have now, where are you putting it? And if it’s not Bitcoin, then sell it. But stop with the FUD posts.

_Nigerian_Prince__

Take it from an OG prince…. - AI Bubble will bust.  - Bitcoin will bounce back.  - FUD will return next winter And I will keep sending my emails even if most go unanswered. For it’s the few that are answered is where fortunes are made. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. 

HumanChocolate3310

The fundamentals haven’t changed since we were at 120k or 64k. Just the typical FUD. But I’m literally in the same boat. Been DCA for several years, average buy in is 66k so on paper I’m at a loss.

Every few years there is a great buying opportunity. We are heading there now Ignore the FUD, it happens every time. In 2 years we will be on the way back up to new ATH’s

Loud_Call_3187

>This is where the phrase "stay humble & stack sats" originates from. The moment you think you know what it's going to do bitcoin has a way of humbling you, aka "no one knows shit about fuck". There's some kind of weird dissonance in this sub where folks recognize there is uncertainty in BTC's future and anything can happen. But then they'll turn around and definitively assert that BTC's future is certain and the only thing that can happen is that BTC will moon - anything contrary to that narrative is dismissed as FUD

Ok Mr. FUD bot. Zoom out the graph and check again. If I had a dollar for every time Bitcoin was pronounced dead I wouldn't even need to invest.

Can't this be a strategy of his to buy even more BTC? Cause FUD by selling a little, and then buy a lot more when price is down? Or are companies not allowed to do that?

Price of ADA same as it was 4 or 5 yrs ago, sorta like ETH. All this FUD on Cardano makes me want to buy some, reverse CC ftw.

sylsau

QC is currently being used as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) regarding Bitcoin, but in reality, it's a genuine threat that extends far beyond Bitcoin itself. The entire current financial and monetary system is potentially at risk. However, it's easier to generate FUD around Bitcoin. Ultimately, developments to make the network more resilient will be implemented, and the predicted catastrophe will not occur. But we must stop pretending that major adjustments won't be necessary.

Arijan101

When I said DCA doesn't work in crypto and "longer term holder" is just a code name for exit liquidity, I've had multiple crypto bro's jump to explain that I'm wrong and FUD-ing and how crypto will change the world and revolutionize finance...bla,bla,bla. Long story short: Crypto is speculative gambling not an investment. Sure, a good few people got lucky, but most simply lose money in crypto. This is because there's over 100k crypto projects with an average life span of 3.5 years per project. So the chances of you earning serious money from it are closer to winning the lottery than to use any sort of knowledge you may think you have as leverage for earning. TLDR: It's just another scam.

gosuzbone

Concern about spam in block headers is not FUD. It’s a legitimate concern not that different from the block size wars.

AaronVanWirdum

Perhaps the FUD around Core 30 had something to do with it but of course we can't know for sure.

SoundMoneyWade

It's true. Managing emotions sounds easy, but for most it is not. When the price goes up FOMO makes it easy to buy, but when price goes down FUD makes it hard to buy. Backwards, but that's human nature. That's why dollar cost averaging works for some. Others zoom out, some increase confidence by understanding what problems Bitcoin solves, and see it for what it is, rather than what it's price is. Hang in there, choose your path, you're not alone.

8888-8844

The FUD is going hard. Plenty of sobs out there wishing and praying for a market crash.

bittenbycoin

Nation currencies have central bankers that have tools to strengthen or weaken the national currency as required. Bitcoin has no such backstop, so it is occasional at the mercy of speculators. And with so much FUD in bitcoin, the speculators can be merciless at times, looks like we may be in such a zone at the moment. For better or worse it's all part of the (central banker-less) fear and greed cycle

colonisedlifeworld

FUD is back in the menu boys. It’s bear season.

ryryrocco

It def works. Stopped buying stupid useless stuff I don't need. Started stacking sats whenever I have any extra cash. It's working out well so far. Just gotta stick with it, ignore the FUD, buy the f*ckin dip and HODL... ☮️❤️😎🚀

PickledPokute

For people who plan to buy and increase their positions, wouldn't spreading panic and FUD be the optimal move?

Serenaded

They're throwing trillions of dollars at quantum computing in the next 5 years just in USA alone. That FUD has been around for about a year now, and BTC still has no realistic way of tackling it except to completely dismantle the chain and turn it into something else, where old wallets won't even be compatible anymore. It's just looking bad for BTC in a way that it never has before. QC is not an if, it's a when. I moved to a 50/50 split of ETH and XMR.

FitCompetition1804

Been waiting for this, expect it to bounce off low $70k range and then nose dive further down into the $60’s and maybe even lower later in the year. Instead of panicking and spreading FUD, people should be buying and increasing their positions during these periods.

Festel2

If you dont know the game, dont play.  Cause FUD from selling bitcoin for a profit and making it look like capitulation. Then buy more bitcoin to hold and sell later. These institutions buy at every price point. They could sell at any price point for a profit. The game is simple. Fool the little guy into selling at a loss or for very small profit.  When bitcoin is the global currency of choice everyone will need to buy it or be paid in it. And if you dont already own some you won't get the benefit of being early. So be a fool and sell your bitcoin for printable paper. Thats your right.

It's only a different address format, not a lot of new code as sha256 is already quantum-safe. The update is already prepared, tested and deployable but not needed right now. There even is a method to transfer Bitcoin out in case of a nearly impossible mempool attack. However, nobody could lay down to this day why a quantum data center that is cryptographically relevant should choose to attack Bitcoin. As long as this is the case, this is only useless FUD.

Lol, it only spiked 100% off a relatively historical support floor during a bear market. This coin has blown up 500%+ in the last 3 bullruns. Anyone in the community clearly saw this as a sell the news type event, anyone fomoing just found about XLM yesterday. If anything, people are doing the proper thing by DCAing. You can only consume so much FUD before you realize the institutions are slowly DCAing below your feet due to price manipulation. Explain to yourself, why are institutions that manage trillions of dollars of assets choosing to go live on Stellar before Solana or Ethereum? Who even builds on XRP? Not even joking, genuinely curious. There's a reason why XLM was created, and aside from popular FUD that it was made to make more money, it will be apparent to the entire world sooner or later why it was when you realize XRP was turned into a money-grab while the brains behind the project gave a finger to the venture-capitalist founder who wanted more money, so he went to make his own project called Stellar. The best analogy I can give is when you have a developer who builds something with passion and the producing executive calls them up and says they need money so they're going to launch it before it's even finished. So they hype everything up on an unfinished project, all because they can. That's XRP, the unfinished early-access beta release you got, while XLM is the original founder with the original dream who kept building and didn't compromise principles for greed.
