Investors and hedge fund managers that are bearish on Bitcoin and speak against it on television are one thing. But bears on an online forum? Their negative effect on the Bitcoin market is as minuscule as some crazy homeless dude in Wall Street screaming that the stock markets is going to crash.
I like the way that you put it like they are just some vagrant in the streets, even though they are a vagrant shouting nonsense, the panic they cause is still enough for newbies to panic sell though. I can get behind that but the problem is when the whales that are doing it.
There was a time when r/bitcoin had to fight off a lot of concern-trolling and astroturfing. What if the hedge funds may well have found the holy grail of having a highly liquid asset on which they can call longs and shorts aided by concerted astro-turfing. Though it seems that the market moves on macro news these days, not on the forum or reddit sentiment. First it was Elon Up, then Elon Down then China down. Now we are trending sideways. Next breakout will be whenever
Musk and Jack have "The Talk".
There is definitely a motive to the creation of these "Bitcoin Ded" threads and that is to relieve newbies of their recent investment.
When we try to grab these newbies by the collars to save them from jumping off the cliffs, they sure don't like it. We keep telling them not to buy more than they can afford but they leverage. We tell them that DCA is better to manage risk, they FOMO all at once..

Some threads are created by smart ass people to flex their intelligence and not exactly to create FUD because they have no funds to buy.--snip--
LOL. Show me ONE of these guys who is smart. Most times their intelligence consists of an irrational exuberance about the benefits of PoS and TPS claims made by centralized coins.
Firstly it feels good to see this topic back up again. I was thinking my last reply was the end of the thread.

I had a similar sentiment. We need to memeify this topic with memes about haters versus hodlers.
