FUD

Suspicious-Cut3237

OTC desks aren't magical voids with infinite liquidity. If someone drops a massive stack of Bitcoin on a desk, that desk isn't going to just sit there holding a heavy bag while the price tanks. They're more likely going to hedge their risk by dumping spot or shorting the derivatives market immediately. The price impact hits the exchanges no matter what. But honestly this Strategy liquidation FUD is getting old. Their debt is long-term and fixed-rate; they literally cannot get margin-called on their spot holdings. The bears create these fan-fiction liquidation scenarios every time we see a red candle because they missed the entry and want cheaper coins.

Romanizer

Yeah, FUD has become very weak now that Bitcoin is inevitable but misinformation campaigns are more professional leading a lot of people to believe bullshit like Strategy could be liquidated at a certain price.

snek-jazz

the FUD attacks are strong these days

> I could have always bought NVDA for 5 bucks the same day MSTR made it's first BTC purchase. The difference is I didn't know how to identify NVDA's run since then. I'm sure plenty of AI experts or people in the chip industry made money. I know bitcoin and MSTR better, so that's where I had an edge. The only timing I needed was when to buy, and that was measured by FUD-level and mNAV and the usual signs of a bear market bottom. I don't think I can time tops as easily, but I know that at $200, and then $300 and then $400 that I'm happy to take some off the table to rebalance.

snek-jazz

oh there will be loads of sites reporting FUD on it, I've no doubt about that.

snek-jazz

Also, the latest FUD we're going to see > just announced ... and selling bitcoin to cover payments and buybacks You're misrepresenting what they said. When are you expecting this sale they have apparently announced? this week? next week?

snek-jazz

the best times to buy MSTR have been when the FUD is at it's highest, I know because I've done it.

biggest_guru_in_town

Negative if it could survive ftx it can survive anything. Read bitcoin's history. This ahit is a veteran. That's why it is a store of value. It is digital gold. Speculative yes but still digital gold. It has been considered dead over 400 times. Bitcoin is ponzi,scam,going to 0, etc. This is FUD bs. Learn to understand the kind of people who are saying it. I'm not saying bitcpin is perfect. It has its flaws. It won't replace fiat..at least not now. But honestly this is a chance to avg down and get even more at discount prices..and if it goes down further..that's even more future profit opportunity. The fact that we have time on our side means we don't have to bleed out everything in our pockets. The btc vets are right. Just stack sats and live. Keep it safe. Accumulate it the same way you are accumulating little fractional nuggets of gold. I have dabbled with shitcoins. You may Amplify faster but bitcpin has more certainty and momentum. It has first mover advantage. It has dominance over all other tokenized currency assets... all I'm doing is putting 25 usd at least into it at any price. It's an investment. That is it.

AlphaRed

There's always been manufactured FUD during bear markets. It's so apparent from the posts if you've been around long enough.

LimeJuixe

There’s been so much FUD lately I’ve read that I just woke up from a nap & dreamt that btc was like pennies on the dollar. Scared the fuck out of me & then I woke up saw 60k and was happy.

NiagaraBTC

Not necessarily, except for the fact that it's been asked multiple times. Being able to steel man your belief in anything is a good practice. Unfortunately however this question mostly brings out long-discarded FUD and bad economics.

Botlenose

Why did you buy it in the first place? Volatility works both ways but it’s long term growth trend is still in tact despite all of the FUD out there on social media.

snek-jazz

pretty lame argument, since everything needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Saying Company X might fail because Company Y did in the past, is not in itself analysis. You'll also find similar sentiment to this in each prior Bitcoin bear market, and especially for MSTR in the last bear market. Lots of FUD about how they would be liquidated if bitcoin went under $21k. Bitcoin went to $16k and oh look! no liquidation.

cooltone

AI FUD Why don't you show us exactly which QC is currently capable of what to bitcoin with verifiable evidence rather than a lot of coulda woulda shoulda.

Sea_Specialist_5580

BTC is fine. But I don't see a case for MSTR being anything better than a levered position on crypto. They are below their cost basis already. It's looking very bad and anyone unironically using the term "FUD" is likely a bagholder or at least deluded. There's nothing inherently wrong with a leveraged position on a risky asset. But it can and will absolutely get wiped out if bitcoin doesn't recover

Blade_Runner_69

🚨 FUD BOT garbage post alert 🚨

devCheckingIn

It's pretty good FUD to help hobble the bear market along but is starting to fade now. We'll need a new story. Look over there! China's going to ban BTC again! Quick! Panic sell everything!

WarpFactor777

Well, what else if there to say? It's not an equity where one can analyze a ballance sheet, or look at a price to earnings ratio, or discuss the board of directors, or listen to the quarterly reports, or analyze the safety of the dividend. That pretty much leaves nothing to talk about but memes and cute shit like HODL, FUD, etc.

devCheckingIn

The newest FUD is that Saylor is going to jail and the government is going to confiscate Strategy and take all their BTC.

Euphoric-Pop9717

This is one of the most common comparisons… and it sounds logical until you think about it. MySpace and Yahoo were companies with CEOs, advertising models, and central control. They could be out-innovated, mismanaged, or replaced. Bitcoin is not a company. Bitcoin is a protocol — like TCP/IP, HTTP, or email. You don’t ask “What if TCP/IP gets replaced by something better?” Because once a decentralized, battle-tested protocol becomes the global standard with trillions in value secured by the largest computing network on Earth, the bar to replace it is insanely high. As an example Bitcoin already survived: 1. Multiple 80-85% crashes 2. China banning mining twice 3. Every major government FUD 4. 17 years of attacks No other crypto even comes close in security, decentralization, or adoption. You wanna talk about scaling? Lightning Network already handles millions of transactions per day cheaply. Layers and sidechains are growing fast. The real question isn’t “What if Bitcoin becomes MySpace?” It’s “What if Bitcoin is actually the internet of money?” Most people who say “it could be replaced” haven’t realized we’re still in the 1995 dial-up phase. Lastly I’m not sure how to appreciate this question. Comparing Bitcoin to MySpace or Yahoo is the classic line you see from people who haven’t actually spent any real time understanding what Bitcoin is. So let me ask you straight: are you being genuine with this concern, or is this just another copy-paste FUD? If you’re actually serious, why haven’t you spent any time reading about what Bitcoin really is? There’s an absolute mountain of information available from books, articles, videos, the whitepaper — all free. Don’t just look at the negative sides. Look at the positive sides too, compare both, and then go study the history of currencies and economies across the world. Once you do that, you’ll see why this comparison doesn’t hold up at all.

Euphoric-Pop9717

Agreed, and 10 years may be conservative which is why I mentioned maybe 20-30 years. At the same time, it can happen in an instant. A common phrase bitcoiners use is “gradually, then suddenly.” That phrase — “gradually, then suddenly” — is about to become the perfect description of what we’re living through with Bitcoin. For 15+ years it’s been gradual: slow adoption, constant FUD, most people ignoring or mocking it, institutions calling it a scam, governments trying to ban it. But because of how fast technology moves today (smartphones, internet, Lightning, ETFs, nation-state interest, etc.), when the switch finally flips… it can happen all at once. One day it’s still “fringe.” The next day your barber, your boss, your parents, and your government are all talking about it like it’s normal. Prices don’t move as they do currently anymore — they pump violently as the flood of capital finally wakes up. We’ve already seen mini versions of this (2020 COVID crash → $69k, 2022 bear → $126k). The real “suddenly” moment hasn’t even arrived yet. And when it does? It won’t take decades like previous technologies. It’ll take months. That’s what makes this era so insane. We’re still in the “gradually” phase for the majority of the world… but we’re standing right on the edge of “suddenly.” I don’t know about you but I can feel the pressure building.

Gangaman666

I'm kinda sick of the so called "Comedy" flared posts on this sub. It's mostly stocks and shares morons spreading FUD. But this is funny gotta admit 😂

Timely-Fig2030

Sorry bro. I was a bit grumpy. If the Rockstar guy would be cool he would implement it with the blockchain currency SOL. But he is a centralized asshole. Alright, no fucking tokens! Spread it! FUD all mfing tokens!!!!

el_rico_pavo_real

I’m growing weary of the Bitcoin community shitting on Saylor. He works harder than any one of us and believes in the power of Bitcoin, and is actively trying to pioneer how the world uses Bitcoin. You guys can talk your shit, but don’t pretend you would say it to his face, or that you’re not just being emotional without doing the work. The guy could literally disappear into the mediterranean sea on his super yacht, never to be heard of again, yet he chooses to work his ass off to change the world. Anyone who believes he has nefarious or malicious motivations is blinded by fear and not using common sense. Sure, he has made many public statements and has been wrong. He is a human. Bitcoin checks everyone’s ego. But at least he has the conviction and character to work hard for and fight for what he believes in. The man has real skin in the game. His legacy, his life’s work, his fortune. Don’t act like your stack being red for the moment is equivalent. Don’t act like you are superior because you are angry and fearful of the future. Either stack Sats and chill, or sell and go DCA QQQM. Fortune favors the bold. Not whiny haters who read bear bot comments and let the FUD infiltrate their agency and decision making.

OffThread

More FUD. Still 21 million distributed at a set rate with retirement funds taking more than are created at that set rate.

No-Average3202

account history is completely dead except for spamming the exact same pseudo-intellectual concern trolling on this one post. totally organic behavior and definitely not a bot trying to farm FUD lol.

OffThread

"How low would bitcoin have to go before you sell to support yourself in the event of a recession." That's the point... You hold to ensure you can survive. It's not about the price, or what it'll be. It's a store of value no one can touch but yourself. When you need it, it's there. Last I checked, still only 21 million will ever exist. YOU ARE A FUD DISTRIBUTER.

ProgramLow8782

OP...You were a btc hodler for approx a few days, just stfu, you're literally spewing ferris wheel rhetoric of the last month. These thrash FUD posts needs a perma ban.

SlinkiusMaximus

The FUD is tempting me to buy

Tim-Rocket

You can FUD better, OP. Poor execution, on G.

devCheckingIn

Frustrated that all the FUD work has only got BTC down to $60k. They are trying to rush the bear market low and get their short positions to print big. Now they will have to go back to the drawing board and come up with better FUD since the Saylor story is losing steam.

devCheckingIn

Yeah, it's just the psychology of FUD that rules bear markets. Miners have to sell (a massive amount of) BTC all the time just to pay their bills to keep the lights on and run their companies. Nobody cares. Saylor has to sell a substantially less amount of BTC to pay some dividends? Panic sell! I mean I do get it, but I'm just saying... try to understand the psychological warfare TPTB are waging on traders. We have to discern between Saylor selling to pay some bills vs. selling because he doesn't believe in BTC anymore and is getting out of the treasury company business altogether.

ConfusionOk4245

Cbdcs are banned until dec 31, 2030 through an executive order than can’t be changed. Something’s being set up Behind the scenes and we’re missing a big picture. Agenda 2030, digital ids, social credit scores. How do you think that level of dystopia will be enforced? Crypto, AI, mass surveillance. That’s all current governments of the world need to maintain control over citizens. Everything needs audit trails per UN 2030 agenda? Why do you think all countries in the world are scrambling to build ai data centers and find compute power, while in the middle of an energy war? Idk how it’ll play out to a T, I have no crystal ball, but to assume the whole market is getting rug pullled is wild. FUD

Remarkable_Sleep_944

Because Reddit is compromised. They have 1000s of Ai FUD bots telling people to buy stocks instead of BTC, and useless posts mocking people who have faith in BTC in th long run. It all started after Reddit sold it's soul for the IPO, and became slaves to the big banks.

Available-Distance81

Most of the FUD I see is on this sub.

pommesUNDwurst

I am somewhat with you on this. I sold my whole stack in 2021 and 2025. And I don't believe we will see 1 Million $ or even 200k BTC anytime soon. But I feel like this cycle feels exactly like the last. The hate BTC gets. The BTC sekt that always screems to DCA no matter the price. The FUD... It's the same it has ever been. I diversivied. I cannot loose. BTC has treated me well so far. No reason to doubt it as long as the 4 year cycle is intact.

AlphaRed

Yep, seeing lots of organized FUD. Nothing stopping the shorts. Bet even SBF is pulling Jane Street tactics in his cell at this very moment.

General-Ring2780

I’m fine. Just wondering if we’re close to a bottom. Because the FUD is just unbearable at this point. I’m reading Saylor needs to go to jail. Crypto is done. Bitcoin is going to zero. Generally, that sentiment screams near bottom to me. But understanding that Bitcoin operates on a 4 year cycle shouldn’t we be adding? Atleast DCA’ing.

TheresNoSecondBest

V2 is a very big deal, not many bitcoiners get, yet. https://stratumprotocol.org/ You know the constant FUD about just a couple of mining pools being able to 51% attack Bitcoin? It's a [rubbish argument](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPyMUfNyVM) anyway but pools using V2, even this ridiculous attack will become non existent.

The_Realist01

A.) Quantum exists as much as AGI. It doesn’t. The physics make it significantly less doable. B.) Bitcoin would be target 25 on a quantum attack vector ranking. Not even concerned. Either they roll back a block and boot them off the network forever, or they preempt and update to something like core v37 which would be quantum proof. Quantum FUD is the dumbest type of FUD.

blink-to-mink

Been through a few cycles now and the pattern is always the same. The loudest FUD comes right before the turn. Everyone panic-sells while the quiet money just accumulates. Not calling a bottom here but the desperation in this thread tells me more than any chart could.

LibertyWithLiquidity

Difficulty adjustment & a high BTC dollar value will take care of this FUD. Plus it's likely over-secured already & the hashrate is still going up. I believe the network will be too valuable to abandon it, plebs will mine at home at a loss if they have to.

How is saying ‘Bitcoin lies at the intersection of ignorance about math and economics’ not FUD lol

CaptainK718

Everyone is “unsure” when it’s down. I’ve been unsure 1,000 times since 2015. The formula to success is DCA, buy when everyone is panicking and be patient. If you’re selling when you’re feeling FUD, Bitcoin might not be for you.

0fWhomIAmChief

Ahh peak FUD everyone, this is what extreme fear looks like.

patatepowa05

Truly ground breaking FUD. Never heard those on this subreddit before.

BitcoinBaller420

Why the fuck would they just decide to sell their coins and nuke the market? Are you worried about Saylor stabbing himself in the face as well? What kind of ridiculous FUD is this? From a god damn Bitcoiner? Y'all have lost your minds think logically for god's sake.

Available-Distance81

The people are retarded. people who got in after bitcoin broke 100k are feeling their heavy bags and want you to be as miserable as they are. Ignore the FUD. The best strategy is DCA (dollar cost averaging), buy a little with each paycheck and honestly, now is the best time to get in, because we're in a bear market. And to those who did buy at 100k, now is your opportunity to decrease your average cost basis.

Available-Distance81

What's up with the FUD?

Azatis-

Launchpool is fantastic, many earn opportunities, robust security, survived massive FUD so there is a layer of confidence, great UI, fast and cheap.

BitcoinBaller420

FUD is scary and humans for the most part are stupid herd animals who do very little original thinking. We are still very early, only those who are willing to trust their own understanding about what Bitcoin is and what will happen actually own it. In time, the herd will own it through the S&P500, and once Jamie Dimon tells them the bank has their position established and it's now safe for retail to buy. I say it disrespectfully, but the truth is, it's not a dumb strategy. Most people probably shouldn't trust their own logical circuits over what the crowd says, it's a biological adaptation humans have learned. Don't hate them for it, just understand why it takes time and you must simply sit and wait for the fire to grow.

NoBrosCrypto

Bear markets are never pleasant and we always prefer to experience the euphoric bull runs. The FUD and constant negative sentiment can certainly be draining. Well done on the $20 SOL. Peak conviction buy there! For me I shut out the noise and keep looking at the fundamentals of adoption. If that’s still growing in the key metrics I’m interested in then I sleep just fine!

ghostchihuahua

Just read the title, yes, FUD, all over, 24/7, do not inhale.

el_rico_pavo_real

You’re probably a bot, and if you aren’t….. do you have any original thoughts or ideas of your own? Parroting this tired FUD is literally embarrassing.

el_rico_pavo_real

Why would that be holding the market back? All the FUD around Saylor is just that, FUD. It’s he guy buys 853K BTC and everyone gives him shit lol. It’s so backwards.

Subject-Chest-8343

This 100%. Either the stock market crashes in a couple months, everything goes down including bitcoin, and the "cycle maximalists" get the entry point they wished for... Or nothing substantial happens, and bitcoin starts a face-melting rally towards the end of the year, as everyone on the sidelines start to realize they're not getting their big dip. And you're right, Strategy won't get liquidated. It's impossible, unless bitcoin becomes worthless. The ridiculous amount of FUD is either engagement farming, or people subconciously trying to create a narrative to fit their expectation of a big bitcoin dip.

biggest_guru_in_town

The panic you are seeing online is a classic case of people confusing cryptocurrency with cryptography. ​On June 22, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14409, titled "Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks." Despite the scary-sounding name, this directive has absolutely nothing to do with banning or dooming Bitcoin. ​Here is what is actually going on: Cryptography vs. Cryptocurrency ​What the bill is about: It is a national security directive focused on Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). It orders federal agencies to upgrade government cyber defenses and critical infrastructure by 2030/2031 so that future, powerful quantum computers won't be able to crack traditional government encryption (a risk often called "Q-Day"). ​What it means for Bitcoin: Nothing negative. In fact, the broader administration stance remains highly pro-crypto, following the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve back in 2025. ​Are your 63k entries safe? ​The short answer is yes. Headlines shouting that this bill will "doom crypto" are just clickbait spinning the word "cryptographic" to trigger panic selling. ​If anything, the global push toward quantum-resistant security standards will eventually push the blockchain space to implement its own post-quantum signature schemes long before quantum computers pose a functional threat to SHA-256 or ECDSA (the cryptographic algorithms Bitcoin uses). ​Keep your head cool. Your DCA plan at 63k is facing standard market volatility, not a government shutdown. And stop being a FUD ass noob.

Post is by: Professional-Rule461 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ud0s71/why_i_bought_ibit_for_the_first_time_today/ I have a confession to make. I bought 500 shares of MSTR when it was at 260. I had been holding the bag and waiting for it to go back up. I had a huge fear of realizing the loss if I sold it. I believe in bitcoin going back up but the Saylor FUD is getting too much. Today I sold my 500 MSTR shares and bought 1400 shares of IBIT. I also bought 8x Dec 2027 IBIT calls at 50. I got money out from one end and deployed it back the other. BTC goes back up and I make up all the MSTR losses, the options give me convexity and leverage and I don't have to deal with the nonsense. I control my own portfolio. I hope this is helpful for anyone who is in my position. If you believe in btc I think this is the way. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

snek-jazz

no, I anticipated a FUD question about short term performance, and answered it already. 10 days, a few weeks, short term either way. Bear markets suck and short terms look bad in them. What's new? > Care to comment on that? Things will change if the bear market ends, do you think bitcoin will have another bull market?

snek-jazz

Constant dilution, constant FUD about dilution. Bitcon per share up 22.8% last year, up 11.8% this year. > "but, but, what about this 10 day period?!" Yeah what about it. Won't matter in the long run either way. One step backwards to take two forwards is still net forward progress, right?

no. your statements are misleading it is only $2.5B with the maturity dates before 2030. and you know very well that they were actively reducing the total debt which was $8B very recently Strategy currently holds $1.1B in USD cash, so dividends are covered for at least a year already nothing stops this train. definitely not lies and FUD from short sellers like you

Here is some more FUD

Ipogenie-ai

The CLARITY Act delay is a prime example of how political friction impacts crypto's regulatory path. It’s a reminder that regardless of headlines grabbing attention, the underlying need for robust, well-structured projects remains. This kind of uncertainty really underscores why strong tokenomics and a clear, compliant go-to-market strategy are non-negotiable for new ventures. Investors are increasingly looking past the daily FUD for projects engineered for long term resilience, not just short term hype. That's precisely where an institutional-grade platform becomes critical. Helping projects design sustainable tokenomics and navigate the market with a strong foundation, regardless of political noise, is key. Building for the long haul is the only way forward. 🏗️

financeguruIB

Don’t worry i don’t listen to standers for advice. And you’re right. Bear market FUD is when you accumulate.

SteveW928

Yes, but as others have stated, this is true of everything... a basic tenet of economics. What ultimately gives it value (besides sentiment), is its utility. How else can you store your value in a way someone can't so easily take? How can you send value to the other side of the world in a way nobody can stop? How can you flee your country with your wealth in an unstoppable way? How can you store your wealth in something they can't print or devalue? I quibble a bit with the use of 'obsolete' in the title, as the above things never really become obsolete. The question is more whether Bitcoin can hold on to those characteristics over the long-term. Bitcoin hit the design very well, so there isn't much need to innovate (the fallacy of the sh\*tcoins that aren't outright scams). If Satoshi's wallets became active (or, for example quantum computers ever really exist in a form capable of stealing them, etc.), it would certainly impact the price for a bit, but I don't think that is as catastrophic as it is portrayed to be. I think that is a lot of FUD being used to push initiatives we need to be much more slow and methodical about (and a very possible attack vector!). Yes, if one person were to control most of the Bitcoin, that would be a problem. But, even Satoshi doesn't have that much. It would have to be some other centralization slip-up for that to happen. But, Bitcoiners will forever have to remain vigilant over centralization. Keeping decentralized is one of those primary characteristics that need to be maintained.

Intrepid_Interest912

If you check out the timeline it’s actually been roughly 11 months since it began and it normally lasts year… please don’t sit around thinking the bottom isn’t in yet start accumulating with the view that if it does dip further over next couple of months then keep accumulating but if people like the CEO of standard chartered are saying it’s bottomed out take notice. Also wait for the FUD to reverse and turn into FOMO the spaceIPO has now officially gone live so that’s out the way, the Iran peace deal will happen shortly despite the back and forth as this is usual then what comes after a war is quantitative easing along with getting the clarity act out the way regardless of outcome it’s all uncertainty in the market which is designed to allow the people who manipulate it substantial accumulation for low prices before they change the narrative and it goes up again! I would expect the worst is over and over the coming weeks and months you can come back to this post and tell me I’m wrong

Rich_Account_10

So much FUD on here it’s a clown show. Everyone talks bad about it AFTER the drop making people sell the bottom as the price keeps rising back up… go ahead and sell if ur uncomfortable.. why grt on a message board to co Vince others to be pessimistic too? Seems like misery wants company…
