Bitcoin FUD: 6 common arguments from BTC skeptics during bull markets

When Bitcoin soars into a bull market, skeptics cling to fear, uncertainty and doubt. Are you prepared to repel these FUD claims?

Since its inception, Bitcoin has faced relentless opposition fueled by fear, uncertainty and doubt, or FUD. Critics regularly denounce Bitcoin as volatile, unsustainable or a tool for crime.

Dan Held, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, said, “Naysayers try to cope with missing the boat by rationalizing why it will fail through ‘Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.’” But how much truth do these arguments hold?

Once dismissed as a niche project, Bitcoin is now embraced by financial institutions, investors and even politicians. Yet skepticism persists, with critics questioning its intrinsic value, energy consumption and societal utility.

Rotation out of ETH into SOL causes another surge in bearishness

The Ethereum FUD fires are burning hotter than ever as Ether has fallen against Bitcoin and Solana while developers fight the flames.

Bitcoin’s impending ‘death cross’ might not be ‘so deadly’ for BTC bulls — Analyst

Bitcoin appears on the verge of confirming a death cross, but one analyst says historical data suggests it's nothing to worry about.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action looks to be approaching a “death cross,” but one crypto analyst believes it might not be “so deadly” based on historical patterns. Instead, it could be a bear trap before Bitcoin enters a “super bull rally,” looking at a theoretical BTC’s seven-year super cycle.

A death cross is a bearish signal that occurs when the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) of an asset’s market price falls below the 200-day SMA.

Currently, Bitcoin’s 50-day SMA is at $62,141 and falling, indicating a potential crossover with the 200-day SMA at $61,676.
