with imminence to break above $100,000, all of those master plans and orchestrated lies to cause FUD about the future of bitcoin going zero has now lost base.
They never had any "base" back then either. Those spreading such FUDs didn't believe in it themselves either. It was also not always about "going down to zero", but generally about a big dump coming. The purpose of these FUDs were to try to cause panic sell among newbies so that their own buy orders at lower prices could be filled.
In that sense we can still see similar FUD being spread where they try to make newbies believe that there is a drop coming and they should sell sooner. If they manage to convince enough people, there will be a small drop and their buy orders at low price will be filled before price goes above $100k.
If I understand you perfectly, you mean a cross section of the fuds are flagged about by bitcoin big whales to get the newbies freak-out and sell to their own benefit as price dumps providing them a good price dip to increase their portfolio. Hmmm, that makes sense in a way. I wonder when some of us newbies will learn and stay resilient with our little hodling for the long.
