Exactly mate and I see no reason for spreading of FUD.
one thing is very certain from all this happenings and attack on the blockchain that there are still millions of transcations awaiting confirmations on the blockchaij which is a clear evident that bitcoin is doing fine.
The problem is bitcoin but on the blockchain and there isn't any need to panic and I guess op should be one of the teams behind the shitcoins he early mentioned in the OP and no matter the amount of promotion done, they still remain switching and wouldn't get close to bitcoin and core believers of bitcoin should be expecting a massive rise in the price of bitcoin after all of this mess is fixed so they will be busy buying more for hodl against what op proposed of panic selling send I don't actually see anyone panic selling because of transaction delay and high fee.
For those which are hoping to create uncertainty and make the price of bitcoin to go down this is the perfect moment to spread FUD, the fees are indeed expensive and there are probably many newbies out there which are worried about this, so they are hoping that by spreading that FUD they can increase the number of those which are selling their coins and create downward pressure on the price of bitcoin, now this will not work on experimented users but I think there are enough newbies out there which may believe the FUD, sell their bitcoin and buy altcoins as a result of the misinformation that is being spread at the time.
