> 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

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.

jeffereeee

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.

Spicyocto

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

CyanTurquoise

I agree honestly, I never liked him owning so many BTC. It's just another FUD and potential weak point for us in the long run.

Jaded_Bullfrog3978

The quantum problem is not at all unique to Bitcoin. It’s just FUD.

Ok-Suit541

It’s extremely fucking likely. It’s not FUD, it’s typical market behavior. Just be ready to scoop up more at $50K

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

Adventurous-Status38

FUD all you want. ZEC is making holders rich and XMR holders poor lol

mamaburra

It's a bottom post. FUD marks prime accumulation points. I'll be making a hefty purchase soon.

GarbageOffice

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.

Justinformation

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?

_Commando_

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.

Romanizer

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.

KodineDreamin

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.

KodineDreamin

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, (that was before any DTCC news or applications). 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 you've been lied to all these years while 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? DYOR~

ThreeTonChonker

If dummies didn’t sell low, smart people couldn’t buy low. If smart people didn’t sell high, dummies couldn’t buy high. The macro and meta around Bitcoin hasn’t changed. The quantum stuff is the same bullshit FUD we’ve been hearing for a decade. There’s no SBF con man actively ripping people off and destroying the market. The charts go up and the charts go down, just like any asset. The tough thing is understanding your own psychology enough to say, “The last time the market was up/down, I was worried it would never go back up or down. But of course it did.” At the end of the day, what matters most is setting up your life so you can hold an asset like BTC without being affected by bear markets or spending a single second of your life worrying about it all. One day it will go back up and then the next day it will go back down.

Many of us already have our coins and never sold like SOY BOYZ. It's not rocket science. Fuck FUD!

Rare_Rich6713

It isn't a FUD if the government is preparing for it, a bank is using QAN, and several companies are starting to switch to post-quantum encryption. Acting like it's not real doesn't change the fact that it is.

KrustyLemon

Why is 'FUD' considered bad? Wouldn't that mean you can get the coins at a cheaper price?

Gangaman666

Lol, yeah definitely comes across as a teen who read a book or watched some FUD podcasts, now thinks he's Warren buffet! Ai slop!

MediumLibrarian7100

You don’t even understand the definition of FUD. When you have a valid counter argument to the fact liquidity is entirely different now, let me know 👍

Saffuran

It's not FUD because true FUD is generally baseless (hence the uncertainty portion) pointing out the cyclical nature of Cryptocurrency, the seasonality - which is heavily reinforced by structural data - exists to build certainty and to allow people to invest smarter. Bitcoin (and crypto at large) isn't doing anything it hasn't already done before and in fact it is right on schedule. It's also not FUD to say that 80-90% of all cryptocurrencies are shitcoin scams meant to seperate desperate stupid people from their money. I dabble with small amounts in small projects that I like from time to time but even most of those small projects don't end up making it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are about the only projects with real staying power - TRON performs well but I really don't like Justin Sun, I am highly skeptical of XRP and Cardano/ADA for different reasons. The only longer-term top-20ish coins I think will survive and grow long term are ZCash (and related assets like ZKS), LINK, and AVAX. The "small" projects that I think are worth dabbling in - but the risk/reward will always be higher with emphasis on the risk - will be things like ONDO, Uniswap (exchanges tend to win long term), and maybe JASMY, depending on how macroeconomics continue to play out in Japan relative to Cryptocurrency. To me, most everything else is higher risk than their peers in this list but with the same level of return (so why take the higher risk), straight up useless memecoins, and lastly just blatant scams like what Trump and his family kept shoving onto the market in 2025 (WLFI, TRUMP, MELANIA.)

Obtusk22

manufactured FUD read is interesting and i wouldn't be surprised tbh. Every cycle the loudest exit the industry takes show up right before the next move. Could be coincidence but the pattern's hard to ignore after 3-4 of them

Gangaman666

Which in the end got you nowhere because your FUD Ai post got removed now has zero audience. GAME OVER thanks for playing 😎

ReasonablePossum_

That was an issue of moderation. Now you get just a bunch of FUD and anti-trans/china propaganda as if the sub cared about that.

Suitable_Acadia_190

The manufactured FUD observation at the top is the most underrated point in this whole post and you moved past it too quickly. Coordinated negative sentiment doesn't appear randomly. It tends to cluster at specific structural moments — after a significant drawdown when retail is already scared, before a move that institutions want to execute without competition, or when a major position needs to be distributed into remaining buyer liquidity. The timing of FUD cycles in crypto has historically correlated with accumulation activity far more than with genuine fundamental deterioration. That doesn't make every bear case wrong. It means the loudness of a narrative is a terrible proxy for its accuracy. The 401k data point is the one I'd highlight above everything else on the institutional adoption list. Less than 1% of plans offering crypto exposure despite legal ETF access means the actual institutional wave hasn't happened yet. What's happened so far is the infrastructure being built to allow it. The capital itself is still sitting behind fiduciary inertia that will dissolve the same way every new asset class eventually gets normalized — gradually, then suddenly. The advisors at Morgan Stanley and BlackRock recommending Bitcoin to clients in 2025 would have been career-ending moves in 2019. The Ethereum stagnation point is legitimate though and worth sitting with honestly. ETH underperforming its prior cycle peak relative to BTC while carrying significantly more narrative weight is a real structural question, not just FUD. The answer probably lives in the L2 fragmentation of fee revenue, but that's a longer conversation. The Germany Bitcoin sale at $62k is going to be studied in finance courses for a long time.

troythedefender

Yeah you're a perfect example of the FUD my post was written to respond to. Why are you even in this cryptocurrency group if you despise it so much? Vultures by the way, exist everywhere. They exist in stocks, they exist in real estate, they exist anywhere a dollar (or stable coin or Bitcoin or Ethereum, etc.) can be made, that doesn't deligitimize the entirety of it. The U.S. Congress, flawed as it is, isn't passing legislation to further a pure scam on the world, hate to break it to you.

troythedefender

Yeah reading is hard. Sorry to TLDR other than to say ignore the FUD of that FUD means selling it all.

RosieDear

Crypto isn't an industry. It's a bunch of schemes. The fact that you have to go begging to politicians and to the same banks and institutions that crypto was going to sideline is quite ironic. It's would take anyone studying the cryto scene - from a human perspective - about 15 minutes to figure out that it is about free money and "number go up". When things happen in the real world - or don't - it means something. No, 10,000 words on the subject does not mean a thing. It's about young males, many of whom have checkered pasts or who are looking for Easy Street, trying to get rich without working. I don't want to list them all out here - but you might think after the failure of 18,000 "currencies", the demise of the KINGS like SBF and many others, the old folks and families taken for 10's of Billions of dollars, the Pols and POTUS of the USA taking bribes, the lack of everyday uses (although if buying heroin mail-order BTC works) - virtually a 100% plus failure rate.... And yet some are saying "No, it's real and there is all this good stuff happening"... You see - even IF all this crazy stuff happened and "number go up to moon" - then it is very likely it would help create a global or regional disaster....and yet, the vast majority of the "people on the moon" would care less. What I am saying is that if we took 10,000 crypto bros and "speculators" and asked "If you could make 100X the money on your crypto but the result was that that 1,000 others lost an amount which totally vastly more than you made" - the vast majority would say "they should have done their own research". Sorry, but this is very simple. There is no need. There is no real use case - no one anywhere (well, except a torturing dictator who locked up a large % of his population) has any use for it. This is not FUD. I have a little BTC. I even made bank on it up to day...only bought it due to Trump starting to dismantle civilization back in the 2018 time period....but that doesn't mean my 40+ years of investing and business experiences don't inform me what it is. That folks would put stock in "money" that they have zero idea about....who started it, why they did, or what could be done (most have zero idea) from the inside.....makes it perfectly clear what it is. Why not just admit it? I'll make it easy! "I don't want to work. I want my money for nothing and my chicks for free". This is nothing "modern". That folks put stock in "important people" (usually paid, but also easily fooled and selfish" saying great things about crypto is yet another infantile view. I didn't make it crash. I didn't make it be used for paying folks off and criminal activities and ransoms and pumping and dumping. But that is human nature - and if anyone here is cheering for those types of breakdowns of decent human nature so that they can profit, I promise that the costs will be higher than the profits. You can wave your cold wallet powered by batteries and solar panels above your head while viewing what's left after the bombs fall.....and I don't think you will feel good about it, even if U R a simple "bro", bro!

With the Mt. Gox FUD hitting the market, manual trading right now is pure suicide driven by emotions. This is exactly why I stopped staring at the charts and built a Python Telegram bot to pull cold, hard technical data like RSI and MACD on demand. It keeps my strategy objective instead of panic-selling with the crowd. If anyone wants to use the free trial to filter out the noise and check live metrics instantly, let me know!

FUD

Binance has consistently denied these allegations. Important to wait for official statements and verified sources before drawing conclusions. The crypto space is often targeted with FUD — always follow the facts.

Your "Bitcoin will be banned" FUD is 10 years old. What we've seen so far is the exact opposite. Increasing normalisation and legitimation of Bitcoin. The few countries that actually banned it, like Nigeria and China, are actually those with the deepest Bitcoin penetration because the only reason to ban it is to protect your falling currency but all that it accomplishes is to further encourage people to flee your local currency.

I’ve only been in crypto for 1.5 years but volatility doesn’t scare me as much as it used to especially with bitcoin. I try to ignore the social media FUD and look at dips as buying opportunities. Long term crypto is here to stay and isn’t going anywhere.

every platform is great at something and weak at others, and spreading your crypto across too many apps just adds stress and risk. Quick take: • Binance has the best liquidity and features, but the heavy app + regulatory FUD every couple months is real. • Kraken feels the most legitimate and solid, but the earning options are average and the UI is ancient. • Coinbase is the safest beginner choice, but those base fees are brutal unless you go Pro. • Nexo is actually really strong for the yield side (daily interest + borrowing against your crypto without selling) and the card is a nice bonus. A lot of people are in the same spot tired of juggling 3-4 different platforms. I’ve been keeping an eye on Cronos App, which is building a single account for crypto, stocks, and prediction markets. It looks like they’re trying to solve exactly this problem of having everything in one clean place. Still in waitlist phase but the direction seems promising.

Omg... Give it a rest with the Quantum FUD! It's pathetic!

TJack303

Same FUD, new year.

SpontaneousDream

I love how you just keep repeating this year after year, yet nothing ever happens, because nothing ever will, because idiots who spout this FUD lack a basic understanding of how mining and security works. This is like..."Bitcoin destroys the environment!!" level FUD. Come on man, at least come up with something that's actually convincing lmfao. You are really going to go down with the ship though, huh? At what ratio will you sell you ETH and take the L?

ThreeTonChonker

This sub: “Wow this Saylor stuff is fake news what a charlatan!” Also this sub: “Let’s talk about decade old FUD like quantum and constantly shit on crypto” I just hate like 90% of you and wish you’d fuck off, it’s so obvious this is organized brigading

ThreeTonChonker

You can’t be looking at all the attention that the AI data centers are getting for their power draw and seriously think, “ok so quantum computing is going to be at least 100x the power draw of data centers, the world is totally ready for quantum!!” Absolute bullshit, the fact that quantum is coming up again means the market makers are running out of FUD to manipulate the market in their favor.

And it's the weakest FUD cycle yet. By far.
