FUD

Skotland85

No. It’s a store of value. That’s its main attribute is a place to store wealth for long periods of time. You aren’t going into a coffee shop and buying coffee with bitcoin. Instead, look at the alternative to hard assets for where to store cash. Alternatives are real estate, stocks (mag 7), commodities like Gold / Silver, buying companies…etc. Stable coins that are pegged to $1 can be used for micro transactions. XRP for example leans in on replacing settlement transactions between fiat currencies. It’s not a token to store wealth and definitely needs partnerships of banks / countries to use their protocol to increase the value. That token would be considered “centralized” and dependent on their CeO brad and marketing department. Bitcoin has zero marketing, no CEO and is 100% decentralized. Nobody has the compute power to do a 50% attack and not can they own 50% of the supply. It’s really our first time where retail can adopt something much faster than the corporations and banks who have to navigate boards and governance structures. Don’t fall for all the FUD, just stack sats and check-in on it every 4 years. Nobody has lost money holding for 4 years.

ManekDu

Same. I've used Solana for four years and have had zero issues. Stuff like this is all FUD.

coinluv

Hi Sounds like you each should have an allowance after the bills are paid to do as you please with. I have friends I can’t talk about Bitcoin with because they won’t listen and only repeat FUD. It makes me said because if they had listened to me they would have made a nice retirement sum by now.

Buy back, do you want to HFSP forever? How can you not have worse FUD about dollar denominated fiat wealth long term but you bought into btc FUD?

Streetwalkeroulette

This entire post is FUD. Feel free to talk about BTC, folks. It’s okay.

I have a theory that Peter Schniff is actually all in on Bitcoin and posts FUD intentionally to jack up the price.

darkSide_dementor

You nailed it. HODL is tough. I swore I would hold 21 coins but when the FUD kicked in, it all went out the window.

darkSide_dementor

I didn’t at first. This shows that I moved them all off the Trezor wallet. I eventually bought into the FUD sometime ago and yeah I sold them all to buy index funds. Now a not even half coiner.

Just replenish your stack immediately. It’s not that complicated. I wish people would stop this kind of FUD.

Actually not a bad strategy. I bet there’s a strong correlation between those FUD articles coming out just after a dip.

DarvasLivermore

😂😂😂 You posted pure emotion, not facts. XRP isn’t a scam. It’s the gas for a real blockchain used by SBI, Tranglo, and others. Courts ruled it’s not a security. Ripple sells XRP transparently and uses it to build products like RLUSD and acquire partners like Metaco. That helps XRP’s utility, not just shareholders. XRP isn’t stock just like ETH or SOL. You don’t get equity, you get access to a real network. Comparing XRP to a Disney cup is just lazy. If XRP were a scam, it wouldn’t be powering real payment corridors in Asia while most of crypto is still figuring out what they even do. And yeah i’m up nearly 400% on XRP since July 2024, going from about $0.51 to $2.50 today. If people listened to your Bitcoin FUD, they would’ve missed that too. How much are you up on Mr BTC? 😂 Satoshi warned exactly about what's happening to Bitcoin: centralization, regulation, and control. XRP's closer to his vision than BTC is now.

ExtremeIndependent99

Dont feel bad. I sold at $45k in 2021 and didn’t buy back until the price doubled. FUD is a hell of a drug

Timely_Trouble8258

XRP is a literal predatory scam on rubes that is still going strong in 2025. Step 1: Ripple makes some BS hype announcements about something that only benefits Ripple. Step 2: Ripple sells you their XRP, which they got for free. You hand Ripple your hard-earned cash. Step 3: Ripple takes your cash and acquires a real business (Hidden Road, Circle, Ripple partnerships, etc). Step 4: Ripple internalizes the spoils of that acquisition with the private shareholders of Ripple Labs; not the XRP meme coin holders who capitalized it. You're so gullible that you are buying Micky Mouse souvenir cups, but you think you're a Disney shareholder. But, you're spreading this mistaken news about how these Micky Mouse cups are valuable because they came from Disney, that you're now actually spiking the price of Micky Mouse souvenir cups, despite the fact that they give you no exposure to the financial performance of Disney. Walt Disney himself is literally even telling you that Disney executives only care and work for Disney stock holders and care absolutely zero about Micky Mouse souvenir cup holders, but the cup holders are unphased by such comments. They think FUD is being spread to keep the price low, so that the secret cabal that needs the Micky Mouse souvenir cups has more time to accumulate them at lower prices. Not salty. I hope you made money buying your shit coin. Sell while you still can.

Steezy_Steve1990

2017 bull run. Saw how much the banks were spreading FUD and thought that there has to be something to it if they are putting this much effort into deterring people from buying crypto. I had to jump through hoops to get money onto Binance and bought a bag of VET.

light_death-note

Looks like July is going to be a bullish month... So far anyways. Lets see if we get some nonsense FUD that spooks the market.

Spaceseeds

It's not even psychological. It's the fiat currency everyone else bases their currency on. It's literally the only one that matters.... All the commie bots are gonna come here and try and FUD, it's okay they're just mad as shit BTC is hitting new highs

_SlipperySalmon_

I guess I just wonder if there's so many people that just dont save AT ALL. Also, I'm in deep with btc so I'm genuinely not asking this as FUD or whatever

DarvasLivermore

BEFORE the SEC lawsuit and the last 4 years what activity were you seeking? You're deluded to think that people will work with a chain under a lawsuit..We knew the tech was brilliant no doubt. But policies and regulations needed to change..it did in 2025 XRP is the most dominant play this year. Outpacing Bitcoin year to date. This is what's CURRENTLY with XRP happening not your 4 year old FUD..trends change human nature doesn't. Humans have opinions the only thing RIGHT is the market itself.. your speaking against the matter with opinions while the market proves you wrong. Your claims could be proven under the SEC lawsuit..Not today..XRP won Bitcoin dead. Watch it have a slow death. Watch XRP eventually run more on chain then $ETH. Financial industry is worth way more than others. XRP can handle moving trillions.. Imagine how BLIND one can be. The President of Dubai can look you BTC maxis in the face and say "we tokenizating real estate on XRPL" In your face bro. On chain 😂 deny reality all you want I'm still in XRP at 13 cents AND Bitcoin at $600. Do the math..I win both ways no matter which dominates I just prefer XRP as I use it like real money versus Bitcoin.

mrestiaux

Bro seriously shut the fuck up. Why the fuck are you even here? Do you even own any Bitcoin? Or just centralized scam casino shit coins? Fucking ridiculous. Why even be a part of a subreddit if you’re just going to spread FUD and be a piece of shit?

DarvasLivermore

Ah, so we’re just ignoring key facts now? Banks ARE using the XRPL. SBI, Santander, and over 500 institutions in the ECB’s Digital Euro pilot. The “banks rejected XRPL” narrative is ancient FUD that’s already been disproven. And Jed McCaleb? He left *Ripple*, not XRPL and cashed out *after helping create Stellar*, which literally uses the same base tech. That’s called competition, not indictment. Also, Bitcoin is powerful, yes but let’s not pretend Lightning Network is ready for institutional volume. XRP settles in 3–5 seconds with near-zero fees and can handle 1,500 TPS natively, no extra layers needed. It’s already tokenizing RWAs today NOT hypothetically in some dev roadmap. You’re comparing apples to protocol-grade jet engines. Facts matter.

mrestiaux

I absolutely look at charts. Do you look at charts? I’ve seen the 70% drops. It’s widely known though as Bitcoin matures, those drops will become less and less drastic and the volatility will smooth out. We’re at that point. You’re not going to see massive 70% draw downs anymore. Not with government, institution, and sovereign adoption. The constant inflows won’t allow that to happen again. Anytime we do get any kinda of draw back, it gets swallowed up literally a day later. Now do I know everything? Of course not. However, I, along with any other, strongly believe those days of such aggressive drawdowns are gone. Stop spreading FUD. If you’re so sure that we’re going to fail down to those levels again, let’s see your short positions. Put your money where your mouth is.

flarept1

Funny how ETH was trashed to high heavens like 2 months ago. Now it's "primed for a mega pump" "Future of tradfi on chain" "Everything will be tokenized in ETH" "10k is FUD" All in a span of 2 months. Crypto really is something else... Manipulation at its best

DarvasLivermore

Why don't "you" enlighten the rest of us 😂 Nothing about their "origin" will stop them from dominating the crypto space. Bitcoin is more shady where is Satoshi? He left because he no longer believed in the project.. And thats a FACT. The only people talking FUD about XRP is a Bitcoin holder they're deluded. They would even tell a person with $500 to buy Bitcoin at 105k not because they care but because they are OBSESSED. They are blind. And willing to sell average people short just to support their "Bitcoin" movement 😆

StackingSats1300

Exactly. Why I ask for those to highlight they are just spreading FUD.

**If you’ve looked into Bitcoin’s security budget, you’ll know the block subsidy is shrinking.** That means in the next 10 years, miners may have far less incentive to secure the network, and hash rate could decline. This is a real, long-term concern—not FUD. But you won’t hear about it much on this sub. I got kicked out just for raising the issue. If you care about the future of your investment, you need to go deeper than memes and maxims. Don’t be dogmatic. Be curious. Look at the incentives. Ask hard questions.

The Buttcoin go to FUD about Bitcoin is the following: If you just duplicate Bitcoin, you will get a duplicate 21 Million tokens. So, there is no limit to the number of Bitcoins that can be created. <Facepalm>

LittleSugar05

Ugh, that's rough buddy. Absolutely soul-crushing when that happens, at least for me. We've all been there in some form or another selling early and watching it moon, or panic-selling only for it to recover. It's a brutal lesson, but arguably one of the most valuable you'll learn in crypto: FOMO and FUD are absolute portfolio killers. The key is to refine your strategy and learn to trust your original conviction (or lack thereof) without letting emotion dictate decisions. Next time, zoom out, take a breath, and reassess your thesis.

rgnet1

I never understand the FUD on coins moving around the blockchain. Why would a single long-term holder have any interest in unloading such a massive amount? No one has that sudden need for cash and if they've been a long-term holder, they understood long ago that maintaining wealth happens by holding bitcoin and other assets, not by suddenly selling it all and sitting on cash. If they're selling any large amount to actually make a large purchase, like a mansion, superyacht, or private island, they're not dumping it all on exchanges in piecemeal sales watching the price plummet with each lot. They're selling OTC to other wealthy buyers, and those same buyers are also not dumping all those coins on the public market that they just bought OTC.

Today's price action is just another attempt from Shorters trying to capitalize on any miniscule fear they can grasp. Imagine selling due to fears of "someone moved their Bitcoin from one wallet to another", lol. This was textbook-FUD all last cycle and the start of our current one as well. Every month you'd see articles plastered on every forum and little news outlet that "OMG someone moved Bitcoin! Look here, 1500 BTC just moved to an exchange, I can't believe it!" What didn't grab headlines was that some whales were transferring it back & forth to exchanges *just trying to trigger market fear responses.* Today's noise isn't even a blip on the radar lol.

The amount of FUD in here is wild

MinimalGravitas

Very confident. Loud bitcoin influencers and altcoin VCs have been very effective at manipulating investors into not noticing that the future financial world is being built on Ethereum, but that hasn't had any impact on the reality of where institutions are building. Visa (the biggest card payment company in the world), Blackrock (the biggest asset manager in the world) and UBS (the biggest private bank in the world) have each already deployed RWA tokenization platforms to Ethereum... Sony/Samsung, Coinbase, Kraken, Robinhood and Deutsche Bank have all deployed their own Ethereum rollups... Shopify have started acceptance of payments on an Ethereum L2, Paypal have paid their accountancy firm with Ethereum based stablecoins, JP Morgan have deployed their own stablecoin on an Ethereum L2... You get the idea. https://ethereumadoption.com/built-on-ethereum/ The next attempted FUD, that is already being spread around, is that none of the adoption on L1 and L2s will help the price of ETH, but that only works if you don't understand how L2s secure themselves, which is by burning ETH to buy 'blobs' (short term on-chain data storage).

CaffeineComaMode

That era was peak chaos. China bans, FUD everywhere, but BTC still ripped. Wild how now we've got tools like Nexo where you can park BTC, earn and not stress over every single dip. Way different vibe these days...

> From here on out, if you make a claim about Solana you should at least source it so I don't have to correct you so often. I was clearly describing XRP and I analogized it to Solana because they are both controlled by a centralized institution and their consensus algorithm can be arbitrarily changed, just as you described. Also the technical specification for validators can change arbitrarily, just as I described, to screen out the existing validators. We might want to believe every change is an improvement that will benefit us in the long term, but describing a public blockchain's consensus mechanism as easily or frequently mutable is another signal that security and reliability are not the priority of the chain. >> Genesis block is the first block validated, and any validator would have had a fair shot at it. Maybe you meant premine? But if that's the case, you should probably read up more on PoS systems to understand why that's essentially a necessity for new chains. > it should be pretty obvious and it literally always has essentially been a necessity. You know you can just ask AI these things You're playing semantics to be technically correct here. It's a necessity to distribute tokens before Proof-of-Stake can be activated. It's not a necessity to launch a chain with a pre-mine for VCs if the goal is a fair distribution of tokens on the blockchain. Nano used a faucet. Ethereum (and NAV, PIVX and many others) started as PoW. We can invent rules to rationalize why investors are owed something like Class A shares, but you're not explaining why the ends justify the means when you describe them as "a necessity" for a PoS blockchain. > if people overwhelmingly choose to use something else... those things aren't as requisite as you think. You're right that they're not requisite for a blockchain designed to extract value from new users and then fade away when the users discover the chain does the same thing as every other EVM. Nobody needed regulation to understand that seat belts make a car safer, but seat belt laws were eventually introduced because people trusted their own skills and intuition more than tools which are proven to be secure and reliable. > What the hell is that supposed to mean? You mean... people... selling their coins? How does that make a network vulnerable? > This is just bad FUD. It's risk mitigation, not FUD. You just confirmed the whole value proposition is "number go up" and this explains why your best response is Wall Street vernacular. A stock actually represents ownership stake in a company that does something (ostensibly). Owning crypto tokens has no intrinsic value and market speculation is about potential growth, if the narrative turns out optimally. When wealthy insiders cash out of chains where most buyers are just betting on "number go up" instead of security and reliability, users are going to dash for the exits right along with them. The last ones out the door will have to settle with the folks "in it for the technology" that believe it can recover. > Yeah, it was born as a form of unsovereign form of money, but haven't you seen the narrative shift towards store of value? No blockchain other than Bitcoin has sustained that narrative. Adopting stablecoins as a tokenized SoV on some random blockchain with censorable nodes and transactions doesn't exactly promote a world-changing paradigm shift. Bank databases already did that before Bitcoin. > Clearly people care about preserving value, but when it comes to paying, they've moved beyond BTC and LTC. Okay... > And USD is a popular form of fiat and everyone know the Fed keeps printing more. Clearly the USD value has been deteriorating the whole time that stablecoins have become popular, but even if stablecoins go away, that still leaves Litecoin at a massive disadvantage PayPal existed before Bitcoin. Paying in fiat is not going to ever need a blockchain. Blockchain users are going to demand support for their form of payment or they won't. Litecoin has never been a way to exchange stablecoins directly, so this "massive disadvantage" is irrelevant. PayPal already supports Litecoin. Litecoin is going to continue functioning reliably and securely, with hundreds of nodes around the world validating each transaction, even if PayPayl discontinues support. The value proposition does not need to be so convoluted to sustain itself. > Clearly you're in the minority here If you believe this is a compelling argument, I agree. > the issue of the chain not generating enough revenue is also an issue for Bitcoin. I don't think chain emissions and fees are *intended* to generate revenue. They are a reward for participating in the network. Even the concept of revenue from blockchain transactions requires framing the coins/tokens as valued in some external denomination like USD, where cash flows in and is locked. The entire premise of a deflationary currency like Bitcoin is 1 BTC == 1 BTC. Once the block emissions have tapered to a certain point, the value of fees will adjust to the cost of mining or the consensus of nodes will adjust to resolve a reduction in the cost to mine.

Part 1 >It screens out a well-distributed network of node validators just like Solana. The algorithm depends on a centralized and arbitrary criteria that is determined by Ripple Labs. At best, XRP holders could fork the chain if Ripple decides to pull some shit on them. I was talking about Solana, which uses currently uses Tower BFT and it doesn't "screen out" validators, every validator can produce blocks. Take a look for yourself and watch in real-time: https://fd-mainnet.stakingfacilities.com/leaderSchedule >The algorithm depends on a centralized and arbitrary criteria that is determined by Ripple Labs. Again, I was talking about Solana, for which this is not true. In fact Solana is switching to a new consensus called Alpenglow that will cut block times in half and lower the amount of SOL needed to run a validator, which should increase performance and decentralization simultaneously. https://www.anza.xyz/blog/alpenglow-a-new-consensus-for-solana From here on out, if you make a claim about Solana you should at least source it so I don't have to correct you so often. >However you like to describe it, PoS doesn't require a premine and never has. It's a convenient story for VCs that are not really in it "for the tech" and that understand they need to get profits while the getting is good. I mean... it should be pretty obvious and it literally *always* has essentially been a necessity. You know you can just ask AI these things and they'll provide the reasoning and sources to show how they came to the answer? Just to check myself I asked Gemini and it backed me up: "have any layer 1 proof of stake blockchains launched without a premine?" "To the best of my knowledge based on the provided search results, there is no direct confirmation of any Layer 1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchains that definitively launched with absolutely no premine. Here's why: Necessity of initial tokens for PoS: In a PoS system, validators need to stake their own cryptocurrency to participate in network validation and consensus. This implies that some initial amount of the native token must exist at launch to enable this staking mechanism." You literally never thought to wonder how a proof of stake network would work... with **zero** stake? lol dude, you need to apply some critical thinking here before confidently asserting something completely wrong. >Users have been complaining about XRP for over a decade. Insider dumping, downtime and lack of reliability should be four-alarm bells that one is betting on a service that could go up in flames at any moment. Litecoin has proven that it will not. I haven't been talking about XRP at all, I've been talking about Solana. Anyone besides the public, who could also take part in the initial token sales, were subject to vesting periods, and if they did dump, good for them, they had extra restrictions compared to average folks and they had a hand in improving and galvanizing the network so they should feel free to "dump" aka sell their coins... like normal people constantly do with every coin. People generally have been very happy with Solana Foundation's stewardship, they obviously put those resources towards things that would strengthen the network, like dev rel and biz dev. Causes of downtime and lack of reliability have been fixed promptly and people continue to choose Solana, so maybe you should go on a visibility campaign to bring awareness to this. Maybe people just don't know about the downtime and if you informed that, they would all stop. But my guess is that people are aware and they value things like cost and speed over a blockchain maybe being down for .01% of the time. >You're right, they're not use cases so much as basic requirements for a sustainable payment system. You can drone on about what is "basic requirements" all you want, but if people overwhelmingly choose to use something else... those things aren't as requisite as you think. >And most chains are vulnerable to wealthy insiders cashing out their value proposition before the bagholders even know what happened. "vulnerable to wealthy insiders cashing out their value proposition" ???? What the hell is that supposed to mean? You mean... people... selling their coins? How does that make a network vulnerable? Especially considering like I just said, all insiders were subject to lockups anyways, so by the time they could cash out it made no difference to the security of Solana... This is just bad FUD. Again, please provide sources or provide much further elaboration. And if you want sources for anything I've said, I can easily provide. >Bitcoin was released in a context of history also and that narrative is still playing out - loss of confidence and value for USD. Stablecoin providers are betting on the Federal Reserve, or perhaps the EU, to be their benevolent protector of value...except the track record since 2009 tells us what the market won't advertise. Values will continue to deteriorate from inflation, just like every coin not named BTC. Yeah, it was born as a form of unsovereign form of money, but haven't you seen the narrative shift towards store of value? Which would suggest that it can no longer compete as a payment method, especially relative to newer competitors. Clearly people care about preserving value, but when it comes to paying, they've moved beyond BTC and LTC. And USD is a popular form of fiat and everyone know the Fed keeps printing more. Clearly the USD value has been deteriorating the whole time that stablecoins have become popular, but even if stablecoins go away, that still leaves Litecoin at a massive disadvantage because unless LTC, the asset, is the preferred payment asset, anything else can just be tokenized on Solana and take the place of stablecoins. Clearly you're in the minority here, stablecoins seem here to stay and users of stablecoins and issuers of stablecoins are well aware of how the value of USD will decline over time, but again, if this mattered to people, it wouldn't be as popular as it is and if there were fears about it's longevity, I doubt you'd be seeing every single possible company that can use them, trying to use them. >Well good that we've got that out in the open. I try to be objective about every blockchain I buy into. Same. We all have biases but we can't let that distract us from the substance of salient points. Assuming bias does nothing, I address things based on their merit. >We know this isn't true. Bitcoin does even less than Litecoin. Every halving cycle, most new buyers are looking for the next Bitcoin instead of just buying Bitcoin. What the chain can do is ancillary to the potential for "gainz" but it makes for good marketing to the newbies. Yeah, and the issue of the chain not generating enough revenue is also an issue for Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is likely to retain enough popularity to eventually overcome it though but that does concern me as well and I really don't know how they'll get it done. Inscriptions helped, but that seemed to divide the BTC community.

This is not always true but for me 100% true. As soon as it “clicked” I was all in, and I struggled for the first few months, the first $1000 I made I wanted to cash out lol, but after a few months I got used to it, it’s def not for everyone, gotta be mentally strong! Btw as soon as it clicked I flew out the door, got in my car and went to the bank to deposit a bunch of cash I was holding, and the buying began lol.. I have been in situations recently where it would have made my life way easier and save me around $300 in late fees but I still didn’t cash out any of my btc, however I’m 46, I’m raising my 2 daughters who are 4&6 by myself, no partner no wife no help, soooooooo Ngl, if it was between getting evicted or cashing out my btc you already know I’m not going to let us get evicted! It would take an extreme emergency with my kids not me, to cash it out.. It is for my kids, I hold other alt coins to make some money hopefully before I’m 60-70, while I started to invest for my kids, being an older dad and me being all they have. I definitely would like to be able to buy something nice for myself if I can, but I definitely won’t be the 70yo driving a lambo lol… I like Ferrari lol!! But in all seriousness, keep stacking!! Good luck, Fck FUD and just HODL baby!!

1. Strategy has obligations regarding the debt they took on to buy the BTC. They can't really just sell BTC tomorrow if they expect to fulfill these. 2. The amount of BTC traded DAILY is about half of what Strategy currently holds. Them selling say 10 % of their holding wouldn't really move the market for long. 3. As a publicly traded company, any large sale of BTC would require SEC disclosure and would be visible to the market in advance. This FUD around large public entities holding BTC is getting a bit boring and repetitive.

You're so gullible that you are buying Micky Mouse souvenir cups, but you think you're a Disney shareholder. But, you're spreading this mistaken news about how these Micky Mouse cups are valuable because they came from Disney, that you're now actually spiking the price of Micky Mouse souvenir cups, despite the fact that they give you no exposure to the financial performance of Disney. Walt Disney himself is literally even telling you that Disney executives only care and work for Disney stock holders and care absolutely zero about Micky Mouse souvenir cup holders, but the cup holders are unphased by such comments. They think FUD is being spread to keep the price low, so that the secret cabal that needs the Micky Mouse souvenir cups has more time to accumulate them at lower prices. This is you in a nutshell! Ok, bud

No, thats just buzzworded FUD to make you buy the next anti QC coin that will be shattered like many other coins that thrive on hype from the latest crap narrative some idiots invent just to dethrone Bitcoin because they feel they missed the train. Bitcoin private keys encryption have evolved and will keep evolving more, faster and better than any other crypto startup or company might try to convince you otherwise. Just like Ethereum promised smart contracts and they ended up being worthless comparing to Bitcoin's smart contracts. Just like Lightning Network came up faster and with more users than any other "fast-transaction" coin. You do you, as for me I will continue to stack my sats, it will keep on winning like always.

Totally predictable. Trump's deadline is two weeks away and this industry needs constant source of FUD to enrich insiders and screw everyone else. 

biba8163

but you already know how this movie ends > The rabid ETH FUD right now is a massive signal to buy more ETH > At ETHBTC = 0.05, it doesn’t really make sense to convert to BTC https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/18la5ne/best_time_to_convert_eth_to_btc/

FUD 🤣🤣🤣

You obviously don’t know how rug-pulls work. Just another FUD’er buttcoiner

ETH Staking is at an ATH, and never dipped when ETH crashed to $1,400. POS is by far superior to POW. It uses less energy while providing a higher economic security. It's not FUD, but facts. Buying or creating 1,000 EH/s of hash power will be a lot cheaper than buying 36.435 million ETH. By orders of magnitude. How is BTC's POW in any way shape or form better than ETH's POS? BTC has better marketing and name recognition. That's it. ETH is 6 years younger than BTC and it's market is double BTC's 2020 market cap - 5 years ago. Please keep fading ETH, you might be a bottom signal.

I wouldn’t refer to myself as a whale. I’ve been using bitcoin since around 2012. I discovered it through bitcoin poker rooms. I actually worked for a company that was based around crypto (and still do). I also ran a small bitcoin faucet for a while. :) I sold my first bitcoin at $250 on a website called LocalBitcoins - where you could sell P2P without an exchange. It acted like escrow. But I was using bitcoin daily playing poker too. Played on seals with clubs, Betcoin, and others. It was the golden days of bitcoin Wild West. I remember using an exchange called BTC-E. It had a chatter box on the site. A dude named Fontas got famous for pump and dumps. Probably the only legit real pump and dumper I ever witnessed in real time. He would announce them in chat and prices would suddenly go wild up and down. I’m not sure how much he was using to do that - or if he was just able to gaslight the internet into doing it for him lol. The New York Times actually ran an article on that guy back in the day. I have some bitcoin I’ve been holding since before it ever hit $1000. Lived through the highs and the lows and all the FUD in between. Starting from scratch? Learn about your private keys. Secure your seed phrases. Take $5 worth of coin and learn how to run a txn between two wallets you own to get comfy. Learn about self custody wallets. Never keep coins on the exchanges. And hold. Speculating price in order to sell or whatever, never do that. Always hold. Always. Bitcoin is more stable than it used to be. If bitcoin dropped to $30k tomorrow, I wouldn’t panic, because my skin is too think now. I’d buy. My point to saying that you can’t feed into fear uncertainty or doubt. Never buy what you can’t afford to lose. I hold a nice chunk of coin. But if I lost it all tomorrow, it would make no difference in my current daily life whatsoever. Except I’d be sad faces. But I’d still be able to pay my mortgage, put food in my belly. Buy small increments and stash it as you go. The price rarely ever matters when buying. If you buy $100 today and it goes down immediately the next day, double down. And have fun!

panthera_N

I am 75% in ETH but can you stop FUD Bitcoin, because if ETH continues to suck, investors will unstake ETH and dump to move to something else, POS is not better than POW, stop flattering it.

XXsforEyes

FUD-meister imo. Otherwise, OP just doesn’t understand BTC. If it’s the former, he’ll be posting something at 200k, 500k etc. Of he’s truly that paper-handed then… 1. Learn more. 2. Thanks for the sats (I DCA’d today from my hotel in Italy).

slurpeedrunkard

The sentence that got my attention in the article was the quote from BIS: the outflows of the stablecoin market will raise yields, exposing the Treasury market to “potential fire sales in the event of a run on a major stablecoin.” That don't sound none too good. A foreign power could screw up the US Treasury market merely by spreading FUD

womenpleaser666

Fun fact: you can spot a bot-infested KOL when every post under their bearish Bitcoin take has emojis in the exact same order. Copy-paste FUD level: masterclass.

Xed3

Plot twist: all those doom-and-gloom threads about Bitcoin crashes were sponsored by a bot farm. Who needs real analysis when you’ve got FUD.exe running 24\/7?

Wang_King8

I think this is a good strategy. Just keep at it though. It is easy to buy when the market is booming and euphoria is in the air. Ignore FUD and increase your amounts when we enter bear markets

subjecttomyopinion

Yeah that was a shit article. There will be a time and we all know it. The rest of the FUD is unnecessary. Simply knowing the halving cycle is enough to see things break unless value is propelled as well.

Annual_Head_6744

stupid ass paywall nonsense FUD, ngmi

uniquelyavailable

The vibe is weird, I think FUD is making it difficult to pick winners. There are a gazillion choices.

TG_King

I think the Link Marine FUD campaign of 2017-2019 should be studied lol. Not sure there’s ever been anything else like it where the people who are invested in something actively try to convince everyone else that it’s a scam. It worked and I think it’s still working to a certain extent now.

Bubbly_Ice3836

i think there might be a bunch of undercover banksters lurking around here... they are here to just spread FUD against bitcoin so that they can buy a little more before retail wakes up. kinda pathetic.

Miserable_Twist1

It’s the oldest alt that still ranks top 10. All alts go to zero, so by any measure XRP is incredibly successful. It’s also garbage, but it’s definitely the best performing garbage if that’s your thing. Don’t disrespect it with your FUD.

imormonn

Woah some of you really took this way out of proportion, all I meant was war = opportunity for big companies to buy the dip, more like whales cause FUD to acquire more control of supply, that’s all

wizzziii

Totally agree with you. fuk news and fuk FUD

elfavorito

timelock wallet for next 15 years. this way you wont be able to sell when FUD hits or you want to just sell it now and buy back next paycheck (which never happens)

MrTheums

Whoa, $WOLF holding strong amidst the FUD? That's seriously impressive! This is definitely looking like a potential gem. The cross-chain functionality is a huge plus in my book – that's future-proofing right there. I'm particularly interested in the "bullish fundamentals yet to develop" – can anyone elaborate on what those are? Knowing what's on the roadmap would help gauge the potential for this to really moon. Also, $250k in the bank is solid, but what's the burn rate and projected runway? Knowing that would give a much clearer picture of long-term viability. LFG! WAGMI!

ChaoticDad21

yeah, most of the Bitcoin FUD like that…and quantum…are full on systemic risks. I have some gold too, but even in those scenarios it’s not gonna be that useful. Bitcoin is the superior money and for 99.9% of future scenarios it makes the most sense.

MrKantor103

Yes, buy. But don't lose your mind. That's where people get rekd. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Its a future savings account. Your future self will thank you. Just slowly stack Satoshis. Don't listen to FUD. Educate yourself as you go. Don't listen to so called experts telling you to sell. Down the road, it's fine to sell a little once you are in profit and realize some gains. Personally I hope to never sell. I hope that as Bitcoit matures and traditional finance embraces this new asset class, that people who hold Bitcoin will be the new elite. Its very exciting times.

Uneducated FUD

uncapchad

Can't comment on ColdCard because I don't have one. I am so tired of the FUD against Ledger. The madness on X is incessant. No, Ledger does not have your private keys. Governments use Ledger Authorised Custodial Service Providers use Ledger. Exchanges around the world use Ledger. Ledger Enterprise provides a digital asset platform for institutions, allowing them to simplify wallet and fleet management Pharmaceuticals, Supply-chain management etc etc. Billions and billions of bucks secured by Ledger. Use whichever service you prefer but be sure you aren't being pushed to change beecause that product wants you as a customer, not because there's anything wrong with Ledger

Ferdo306

It's a joke not FUD Relax man

anewpath123

> Money/Value is just a social construct This is actually what gives me FUD about crypto

Captain_Planet

2017/18 was easy to go through if you had already been through 2013/14. I bought in late 2013 and watched it go up like crazy then crash a few weeks after I bought. A year later I bought more as it hadn't been hacked or banned (was the main FUD at the time) and the crash looked just like others before it. Stick around for 4 years and life is good.

Ok-Suit541

I’ve seen these FUD posts before. Same exact type of posts happened with Palantir a year or two ago. Just wait.

Renowned_Molecule

I just bought more XRP. Thank you for your FUD.

Key-Lychee-913

People are super negative on this sub. I was flamed for posting we’re gonna see “the biggest hockey stick ever seen” right before this bull run. So take the FUD with a grain of salt.

IDFGMC

I was bored. The unlocks and FUD were getting me down. I folded. I'm also the same guy that read an article saying that BTC would never last at $10 so I didn't bother holding any.

mbate2305

Just because I'm a nice guy... here's a copy for your reference... read it and educate yourself.... newbie this is the link you should be sending me https://www.swift.com/news-events/news/live-trials-digital-asset-transactions-swift-start-2025 note the words.. trials.. pilots... and read and understand the scope/use case of whats been done. i go into more detail below. copy below from my previous post on the the blown up claims being made..... the reference to the experiment below is what you are referring to in your youtube reference. i'm not fudding I'm giving you facts... if you worked in tier 1 banks integrating with SWIFT and other payment infrastructure like i have for the last 15 years you might have some idea what the scope of the work with SWIFT is and what speed the banking world implements systems... Hes insinuating that...As many chainlink people seem to think that the entire world's payment traffic is going to use chainlink for everything. Yes chainlink have done some interesting stuff with these organisations... but the scale of what is being suggested is bananas... mainstream domestic payments in the SEPA world are already instant, the US is following with FedNOW, yes they're are plenty of cases for crypto in certain scenarios (cross border, liquidity, and other disjointed movement of money in the corporate world) but there is no need for crypto in domestic payments which is where most of the payments volume is...read the words i said VOLUME not VALUE As I have stated a few times I have a position in chainlink, they are recognized #1 Oracle, CCIP is very interesting but let's keep it to facts, chainlink is not going to run the entire financial system EVER and nor will ANY crypto just to add for the people who will downvote me as thats all you lot do on here when you dont shout your quadrillions message this is not FUD this is facts taken from the SWIFT paper and based on my knowledge of payments at a technical level for the last 15 years... the pilot as people have called it (SWIFT called it an experiment!) - link below https://www.swift.com/news-events/news/successful-blockchain-experiments-unlock-potential-tokenisation The use case described in the paper above is for a very narrow use case .. to answer 1 problem todo with a very specific corporate scenario - fund subscriptions - they are using specific MT messages (MT 543 Deliver Against Payment). MT messages are legacy SWIFT formats and very limited message types which the entire industry is trying to move away from (adopting ISO messages, ISO20022) . They are using a field (a narrative field) that was not designed to store token/digital information in it and would require a standards update to be actually adopted more widely.. this is all in the paper above before anyone tries to shoot me down so i am quoting facts quote verbatim from the SWIFT paper.. "These message types are largely suitable for the task but would require some additional blockchain data in a narrative field with custom codes. In a future standards update*, these elements could be formally captured in dedicated fields."* - its a small but interesting pilot only for a limited corporate use case - it validates some principles and CCIP is without doubt a powerful piece of the jigsaw that i would see other chains adopting widely..some already have.... - its using a messaging standard (MT) that is being retired and being replaced with ISO standards globally. The sese.023 is the ISO20022 equivalent message - i dont know why they didnt use that other than their experimental SDK probably works mainly with MT messages - its using that old MT messaging standard in a non standard way by putting data into a narrative field which is completely non standard and the whole point of ISO is to improve interoperability and standardization by sticking to the field definitions. This experiment breaks that principle. - there is no requirement for crypto to be involved in same currency domestic payments like EUR to EUR in the SEPA zone and USD to USD payments in the USA that will use existing rails to move money in under 10 seconds.. this is what SEPA instant and FedNOW is designed for. There is no problem for crypto solve for these payment use cases. This is where the largest volume of payment traffic is... SWIFT are desperate to stay relevant as they can see that some crypto solutions remove them from the picture entirely so they HAVE to be seen to be partnering with crypto and if that partner will integrate with SWIFT still then they will likely favour them. This is both a strength and a weakness for chainlink. time will tell...

adequate_redditor

It’s the same with all new tech. People were (and still do) spread FUD about electric cars, about AI, self driving cars, etc. In a few decades driving an ICE car manually will be unimaginable for people, just like going to the grocery store on a horse carriage is to us now. I bet people were FUDing those dangerous mechanical machines at that time too …
