Thank you - must’ve been some FUD I heard 2-3 years ago and took at face value. Appreciate the comment.
It could also be the bottom of that cone. But I took a picture of your comment. While not unique, as it is just another in a million examples of FUD, I doubt it will play well in time and your name fit so perfectly. As for me, I was able to get some at $57.1k…. Truly lucky timing, but everything else I bought was less than that. It may drop again, but we will only be so lucky to see the 50’s again. Best of luck!!
Dude what do you mean ledger decides to steal your bitcoin? Do you understand how the blockchain works and that your wallet is not with ledger, but within the blockchain? Not only that how would ledger specifically target you? Or do they rug everyone at once? Regardless this makes zero sense. And even though I don’t agree with Recover that is just big FUD from people that don’t know better. Follow all protocols when it comes to protecting your seeds etc and you’re fine. Not worth wasting your energy thinking like that.
Yup. I feel like the next super FUD is ETH being considered a security.
I'm pissed. Woke up this morning and btc was at 59k. Figured to hold out to buy more since maybe prices would hopefully drop lower today. Got busy with work. Then checked btc price was WTF? Its up 62k+. I did buy the dip earlier this week but was looking to stack more base on lower price. Well maybe FUD will come out this weekend to drop the price down.. As Bogdanoff brothers would say 'Dump it'
Bitcoin maxi casts FUD on ETH etf?! I DONT BUY IT
And because Jed sold for years on end and Ripple still does the price is low so what is FUD about that.

Dang the FUD is high today have to counter it…something like uhh, inflationary practices considered the norm by world governments are pushing global retail investors to seek a safe haven in cryptocurrency such as bitcoin and ETH.
FUD to keep prices low so they can scoop up what they can
Was talking to a buddy and we came to this conclusion: We are either right, and Bitcoin is the only way to preserve our economic energy for generations, or we are wrong and we end up stuck in the same fiat prison. Not having meaningful exposure to Bitcoin because of FUD is simply not an option.

The term 'could' is not a prediction. The Bitcoin market is dominated by ignorant children, boomers, and Chinese scammers. As long as Chinese scammers maintain the hype and reverse psychology vs FUD, ignorant people are going keep buying up all the shitcoins - Bitcoin, meme coins, DeFi and platform tokens. In America, the election in November isn't just a presidential election, it's also a congressional election. No matter who gets elected president, I'm hoping that a bunch of anti-crypto legislators and agency heads get replaced with crypto-friendly people. It probably won't lead to adoption, but crypto isn't going anywhere. It only ever steps forward.
So when btc was 20k in 2022 (around half of now) miners were capitulating too right? Right? Or whatever is happening is just the market finding its way and this is just some bullshit FUD article that can safely be ignored?
Glad I scooped some AERO.. I knew all the FUD going around really meant BUY NOW

This is just completely untrue FUD-mongering. The DTCC cannot stop hedge funds from leveraging their portfolios in alternative means. Swaps, for instance, would allow for leveraged positions. They could go to a bank and take out a loan with their equity as collateral. That's not the same as margin. They could create a basket with the etf in it and get leverage on that. That would be kind of like the 2008 method. Yeah you can't get an options contract or use broker margin to buy it, but those are not even remotely all the levers a hedge fund can pull to get leverage. *All this is doing is blocking RETAIL from getting leverage.*
You don’t know if Tether is fully backed, or what shady past history they want to keep sealed, you’re merely assuming they are because nobody but Tether knows. For the past 8 years, they’ve outright refused to do a legitimate full 3rd party audit and not some bullshit “moment in time” snapshot assertation, with god only knows what numbers have been manipulated directly before the snapshot is taken.. 1 full audit and then all the FUD and accusations go poof and disappears. There’s an obvious reason for this and it’s not the bullshit excuse they’ve been giving for the past 4+ years that, “but, but nobody will do an audit for us”. You know, just one of the most profitable companies on planet Earth. They also could care less due to the fact they’re making ridiculous amounts of money without an audit anyway. For what it’s worth, I actually believe Tether is fully backed and has likely been pushing extremely hard these past couple years to legitimize their business and clean house. They know this is essential for longevity. But I have also have absolutely no doubt that one of the reasons Tether was able to rise up to the giant it is today was by doing incredibly shady, illegal shit throughout its existence. Which is why they are still refusing a full audit. There’s more than enough examples of this against Tether throughout the years for me to believe it to be true. (directly funding the FTX ponzi, giving SBF keys to the money printer, $33b USDT created and then unaccounted for with Alameda, 2017 bullrun market manipulation and the propping up of the price of BTC, knowingly washing money for the Mexican cartel, etc, etc)
"These are facts, not FUD" A tinfoil conspiracy theory that the FED wants to cut rates so bad (even in the face of worse than expected inflation numbers), but they won't cut rates because of the elections.
I don't like Tether as much as the next guy but considering the FUD around them has been happening since 2014 and they've outlasted basically everything in the crypto market I think that has to count for something. God remembering the fud back in the day around Silk Road, old times.
Where did i imply BTC is dead? im still 50% BTC as of right now, all i am saying is we wont see any relevant movement for at least 3-6 months until economic data gives the FED what they want, so they can cut. These are facts, not FUD.
Denial is a dangerous human quality. This will be the largest rug pull in history and you’ll go down swinging every step of the way. BR and V teamed with Grayscale started the pull at 70 and they will take you all the way back down to sub 30s…I’m sorry but this is facts. Read dudes manifesto. They were buying months before they publicly announced interest in an ETF. With the in your face despite all the facts under your nose denial you folks show in your unwavering dedication to a digital asset with zero intrinsic value…you’ll do it again at 30 and call it DCA. Then they’ll sell their other half and see you at 20. Of you’re reading this, it’s not FUD, it’s logic. If you’re reading this, take your hopefully minimal losses and do your future a favor.
The bitcoin market is highly sensitive to sentiment and news. Currently the whole market as a macro there's a lot of uncertainty. Lots of FUD and overall general feeling of fear. Best time to buy is when there's fear in the streets.
I couldn’t agree more. Just keep stackin and ignore the FUD.
we need a heroic whale to come in and buy up all this FUD so we get mad FOMO after FOMC
SEC FUD has been around for years and it never materializes to the downside.
LOL! A little bit of normal volatility during the preparation phase of the next bullrun and all those paper handed newbies come around with FUD POSTS and disbelief! Sell you sats and buy the S&P500 stock which also struggles hard at the moment! But don’t spread your fear on all the others in this sub.. thanks
ok…so you’re comparing global catastrophes to FUD on a 13% dip. seems reasonable.
These FUD posts make me indicate that we're getting closer to the bottom.
Bitcoin has become a market indicator. People use it to measure FUD. FUD is high on FED speak day. j pow counted his inflation chickens before they hatched and found out its stickier than they thought. Traditional market indicators likes jobs and cps are completely manufactured at this point. Enter bitcoin. Especially now with the ETFs and traders all having a btc indicator with which they are familiar.

Classic FUD OP is vastly uninformed. Blockchain has millions of ways to be implemented in real-world situations. NFTs alone have the potential to modernize 100s of different sectors eg. government documentation, educational credentials, online identities, gaming etc. NFTs are already being used for postage in some European countries.
Same here. Why the hell not, I’ll bet institutions are filling bags as we speak, and some retail crack to the pressure of orchestrated FUD. Be greedy!!
It is important that he is not damaged if the value falls. But I think the price of ETH will only go up if we look at the long term. Also, since it's not a big money, and the turnover on eth won't be big, I would have taken a risk with meme FUD, for example, the first on Sui, theirs, or Black Rock on Base... somehow a good potential jump of 100x solves everything. This is how I work with a smaller part of the portfolio, and Pepe already paid off for me 2 months ago.
FUD. Hong Kong ETF was a nothing burger. Stock market is down and people are scared of the Fed which is speaking today about inflation and lending rates.
This sub is super anti FUD for obvious reasons, but totally sell what you need to break even. Especially if crypto makes up a large percentage of your total portfolio and you need the money. Ive seen a lot of people in the space lose too much on alts in the hopes of a recovery that never comes. I am bullish long term for crypto but playing it smart and knowing your risk tolerance is only a good thing.
They switch to their FUD accounts and troll Instead.
Is using coinjoins as a pleb actually wise? Wasn't there some recent arrest of devs surrounding tools that provided this? Not trying to FUD, I like the idea of trying to be more anonymous but concerned that using such a tool could cause me to get caught up in a dragnet that I otherwise wouldn't be a part of.
almost similar to calling the dotcom boom of the 90s as 99% overhyped scam. there will always be shitty ideas and glorified ponzi schemes, but that doesn't take away from the core tentes of blockchan technology and development, or its scope and impact of changing the world as we know it. So when you categorically say >I am pretty sure that the narrative of "everything will run on the blockchain" is not true at all, because smart contracts are just shit. it is wrong and create a FUD mentality among new users. Regarding motivation to continue, that's your business and when you ask for advice, people will tell their side of things which might ot might not be helpful. I personally have been a long-time follower of Oasis because I believe in their [vision](https://oasisprotocol.org/blog/the-oasis-vision). Maybe, you too can find something in the realms of smart privacy for web3 and AI that resonates with you. Good luck.
Ok thank you for good information I am not aware of. I have not seen this on Bitcoin sub, and My interpretation of this news is limited to my understanding (or lack thereof) of the regulations. But my goal wasn’t to spread FUD. And I don’t think the regulation itself is FUD. It’s just truth. If someone is exaggerating the implications of DTCC rule change, then yeah maybe FUD. But I am not doing that. It was to justify why markets are moving the way they are. If anything, I’m glad I commented it, because it let me to your comments that you provided. So if anything, thank you.
How is this FUD? I am pro-BTC, and this is simply not the greatest news to hear in the short-term. Whether you like it or not. It’s an actual fact. It’s a DTCC regulation with a provided source, and it’s a potential reason for the price movements we’re seeing right now. It makes clear sense to me. BITCOIN in the LONG RUN, however, is not going anywhere, regardless of what WallStreet is allowed to do with it.l or not.
Don't get me wrong. My research on the portfolio I have, is strong. I see this dip as a potential buying opportunity and the FUD in this sub as laughable. So, whenever there's unnecessary FUD. I check back on the fundamentals, ascertain that it's a temporary dip, add some more to my portfolio, and enjoy the comments.
Why is this a surprize?? People are scared of FBI FUD
No, but it mostly indicates unnecessary FUD. Folks here leverage to the tits or expect quick 100% gains. Every temporary dump has been met with the same reaction.
This is FUD as explained here [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cfjvil/comment/l1pkpyx](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cfjvil/comment/l1pkpyx) and see also [https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cefhkp/the\_same\_dtcc\_the\_fudsters\_are\_crying\_about\_etf/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1cefhkp/the_same_dtcc_the_fudsters_are_crying_about_etf/)
Dips fine! Mooning sounds childish and wishful. People complain that when they try and explain BTC or crypto to others that people turn off from conversations quickly. Languages like HODL, mooning, FUD are confusing to the masses and sound ridiculous.
Here comes the FUD… this sub is hilarious
Man I survived 2021-2022, we had a lot more real FUD, for example FTX bancrupcy, SEC chasing alts, Ukraine war and nuclear threat, really bad economical prognosis This year things are much better than before, we don't have so much FUD and I don't understand why the price is down. Maybe it's just temporary
It's funny how btc dips tiny bit and alts crash like 10-20% That would be normal if alts pumped before, but most alts didn't pump and they are close to 2023 bottom Now imagine if btc crash to 40s what is possible, alts would break 2023 bottom which is not logical, because we don't have any FUD
How are these articles not considered FUD and who are these analysts
I have about 90K in bitcoin and i put about half of my savings (50K) into it last year. I’ve been promoting it and fascinated with it through my older brother who first showed me it as a way to buy weed online. He was buying 500 BTC at a time to send for mailed weed. He looks back on it with regret all the time. I always believed it was a fad and since the last pop I kind of realized that bitcoin is a lot like the emperor’s new clothes. Every “normie” acts like it’s a scam because that’s what they’ve “heard,” and never do they actually understand the technology or what it is, why it continues to grow in value. It’s so simple, and it’s right in front of everyone, but a loud majority continues to act like it’s a mistake to invest in it. I was at a business conference talking to a client and he was all exctied about the moves he’d made in the market in 2022. This was march of 2023. He was about 20 years older than me and acting like he had it all figured out—and i asked him “what do you think about bitcoin?” And he laughed and told me it’s a trap, never invest in bitcoin. Couldn’t give any solid rationale. That’s the moment when I realized “holy shit, this guy is a BULLSHITTER,” and it really sank in that all of my FUD around investing in bitcoin came from peer pressure and not from my own sound, logical understanding of this new tech. Now i’m 50K richer and i’m following my own theory—that it’s going to hit 120k around February of next year. That’s when I plan to sell and put the money into my first house.
There is no reason for a government confiscation since the economy isn't on the BTC standard as it was on the gold standard when Executive Order 6102 was issued, in 1933. No one is coming for your coins. If the government wants to eat your crypto, they'll just do what they're doing: require you to register your wallet address. Then, you can only play with your internet moneys as long as you never cash out via a KYC exchange. These FUD articles really ought to list the credentials of the author. Apparently anyone who analyzes something is an "analyst" -- a vacuous title.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. Cardano isn't sexy, but it was built from the ground up to be robust and decentralized. It's the only blockchain I'm aware of that takes a rigorous academic, peer-reviewed approach (the same level of rigor we use to develop things like medication) to its design and functionality. The ultimate goal is to bank the unbanked and give everybody equal access to financial tools and resources. There's a lot of FUD and misinformation going around about Cardano lately, which means it's a great time to buy (and that I'm likely to get downvoted). I'd encourage you to take a bit of time to learn about Cardano before buying in.
This type of exchange traded product already exists in Europe and trades on exchange. It is 100% physically backed by BTC. Just because it is technically a debt instrument does not mean it isn’t backed and you don’t have physical exposure. If you don’t understand the complexities of the product, don’t spread FUD. If you don’t like the product, simply don’t buy it and buy pure BTC instead.
this is FUD. A large player trying to scare you out of, or keep you out of crypto. Its the sign of a system that knows it is no longer el Premio A1. Short the USD. Short the FBI
My cristal ball is predicting FUD and doom and gloom in the next few weeks / months
And so the FUD, propaganda, and smear campaign starts. Tomorrow's news: *Only terrorists and pedos use non-KYC coins.*
Can you please stop posts like this? It makes me question my conviction that BTC is not a scam. But I am convinced that when people start complaining about FUD, that project almost always is a scam… stop ruining BTC …
‘Kiddo’ - lol that’s a good one. You’re probably a pimple-faced millennial trolling from your parent’s basement. I should be calling you ‘sonny boy’ but I won’t because I’m not a dick. BTW, are you similarly condescending and asinine with people in real life or is this just the masked online version of you? The media hype in 2018 was nothing like the reporting in the last year on Algorand’s real world applications. But I realize you are not paid to make your own decisions and comments based on facts here. How much are you getting from your uber-hyped chain of choice per FUD comment. Word of advice, get a real job and start building a diversified portfolio. You’re welcome.
China Ban is no longer effective at dumping markets so now we have to endure 6-7 iterations of Russia ban FUD
LN works fine please stop listening to the FUD against it. It is all calculated FUD they want to keep it a store of value only and never let it become money.
Went down the rabbit hole of money and I'm fully convinced that Bitcoin is the future. My only concern at the moment is the FUD on the self-custody ban (just a speculation at this point, hasn't happened yet). Could anyone please help me understand the implications of this? I know that this hypothetical ban will not be effective, but I'm not able to come up with a logical reason.
Well, if you're here for technology, you're definitely not here for memecoins. For technology, of course, I have my favorites, but for a quick turnover of money, I also take a little risk with memes. I caught the jump on Pepe 2 months ago, now I'm chasing Black Rock on Base, FUD and some others... I'm getting into the memes because of the quick turnover, and only with a small part of the portfolio.
Anyone who posts on buttcoin can't reason to begin with. The community was created to FUD BTC at $300 a coin. These are not people that are of sound mind.
The US couldn’t effectively ban Bitcoin hardware wallets. I guess they could severely limit the sale of the popular ones, but one could still rig their own Bitcoin wallet with air-gapped key generation and signing using a brand new never online laptop. Bitcoin can’t be banned. Anything stating otherwise is FUD. Vote with your money and vote with your feet. We will win this one 👍
If the feds cared about Proof of Reserves, literally every bank in America would be shut down immediately. 😂 FTX wasn't destroyed directly by mishandling user funds (though, they certainly did that). FTX's downfall was sparked by CZ spreading FUD about FTX, leading to an FTX bank run. I wonder what would happen if all Binance depositors demanded their crypto back? I'd be surprised if there wasn't a liquidity crisis.
Feels like FUD to me. With gold they tried and it wasn’t ever fully enforced. With alcohol they went harder but it was just a quick sprint and it didn’t last. If anyone is going to crack down on bitcoin self custody, I wouldn’t guess it would be the US. The EU, maybe Canada..? But not the US. Look at gun ownership internationally. How many countries acted swiftly and effectively when mass shootings affected their society? Banned them, incentivized turnovers etc. We have a mass shooting everyday and haven’t passed a single piece of gun legislation. Although bitcoin is much easier for outsiders to all agree they hate, sure there’s that, our congress can’t or won’t get it done.
They can’t just ban it. What they’ll do is bully and harass instead, making life difficult for self-custodians. The most obvious will be the IRS this year. They’ll start with a shock and awe dragnet rounding up the tax cheats in the space and all the media FUD to follow. But they’ll also be heavy handed on everyone else holding X amount or more. US tax law you’re guilty until you prove your innocence, so expect nasty letters in the mail accusing you that you disposed all of your Bitcoin and not reporting it, so you’re forced to prove custody. They may even demand records of all your transactions between wallets. They will get sued of course and it really depends on the court of public opinion, to determine how fast they’ll back off. In any case, they want to make you feel self custody is more trouble than it’s worth, and cGood news is people are wising up to fiat debasement theft, but
The energy consumption point is definitely biased against bitcoin. It falls into the common misconception that more energy usage = bad when the reality is much more nuanced. Bitcoin supports green energy grids, promotes energy efficiency which in turn promotes green energy and bitcoin requires energy to secure the network. The ai fails to mention these things and instead falls into the common FUD point that more energy = bad, because ai is based on preexisting (biased in this case) data points. Honestly, think of a topic you are very knowledgable on (other than crypto) and ask the ai questions about it. You will quite quickly find flaws in the info it tells you because ai is ultimately a collection of human data, which is inherently flawed.
They did a similar FUD campaign in the last cycle. Nothing ever came to fruition
> imo coordinated FUD to keep price down The FBI doesn't care about crypto prices. They care a lot about being able to use KYCed centralized exchanges for warrantless surveillance though.
Not all password managers are created equal. Do your research. But the constant FUD that you can’t let a private key ever touch a computer with internet access is doing more harm than good IMO. Just have to be smart about it.
This isn’t FUD, this is great info. People need to embrace cypherpunk ideals to the greatest extent possible.
100% this. It's so fkn obvious. This same happened so many times before. The last big manipulation by SEC & Big players was behind the scenes when ETFs were being prepare. They did coordinated FUD to lower the prices, big players bought the cheap prices and then they continued with the game. What happened? Several months later, ETFs approved. Boom. Who would had guessed.
imo coordinated FUD to keep price down; prevent people from buying and holding BTC so big banks can horde more. This type of shit happens every cycle. They'll go after BTC tornado's/ mixers/ etc. Not much they can do about DEX's esp offshore ones. Those will just outright ban US users like most already do anyway. It's the ones that allow US users that the US govt will try to shut down. Most don't want to deal with that hassle so just ban US. I just find it amusing as a whole - Bitcoin was initially created as a middle finger to the US govt and fiat money in general. We're now coming full circle and it'll all eventually be regulated by governments.
