A reported loss of 4 bitcoin on Lightning Network has been blamed on either user-negligence or FUD-spreading. Community members variously described the user as an idiot and in over his head, if the loss really occurred at all.
Do you think the whole thing was made up to
spread FUD?
I am more inclined to believe that this was just made up with the attention of getting the limelight from the Bitcoin community in Reddit. And it is very easy to do it these days. Just pretend that you have a good story and attract the attention of some influential social media people and them boom you have a story having a life of its own. Otherwise, losing 4 Bitcoin that easily can be a sign of mental instability, I mean it is not normal that you carelessly do something that has risk of you losing very valuable digital asset.
