So apparently the drop in Bitcoin is linked to those Epstein files. Some folks on here think he might be Satoshi. Like seriously, where do they get such ideas?

Nah, I think it's just the start of a bear market. Media or not, Bitcoin follows its 4-year cycle. We haven’t hit the bottom yet, so let’s keep accumulating. Ignore the FUD, it’s just noise.

Feels like a deliberate psyop aimed at scaring retail investors away from Bitcoin. Sure, we have bear markets, but these Epstein claims are just absurd.

Whatever the reason, Bitcoin will bounce back. It might take months or years, but I have faith. Even if the Epstein thing is ridiculous, I'm still buying BTC.

Every dip brings out the conspiracy theories. Some might have a grain of truth, but mostly it’s just emotional reactions. Bitcoin is a hot topic, and social media thrives on drama.

Weak hands gotta go so strong ones can hold. It’s all about mindset in this game.

There’s so many articles debunking Epstein’s connection to Bitcoin. The drop started long before those files came out. It’s just people trying to tarnish Bitcoin’s rep.

Exactly! Events happen all the time, we can’t just connect everything to Bitcoin’s price. If we just keep trading like normal, maybe those events don't really matter.

I doubt this Epstein news impacts Bitcoin much. Speculation doesn’t really move the market. What really affects it are global uncertainties and economic sentiment.

I’m staying optimistic about Bitcoin. This cycle feels familiar, and we’ve seen bearish trends before. The 4-year cycle is real, old-timers know what to do.

Talking with a veteran, they said to ignore influencers claiming they can predict the market. A price drop is temporary; it will rise again. Just gotta believe.

Rumors have been around forever. Social media spreads so much fake news, and people start believing it even when it’s obviously false. Bitcoin is up today, so patience is key.

Sure, some news can sway prices, but not every rumor. Epstein isn’t the cause of this drop, it’s just another bear cycle.

Social media thrives on controversy. The Epstein case gives people a juicy narrative to chew on, especially with Bitcoin’s recent decline.

I see this as a mix of sell pressure and macro issues. Large holders selling off causes big swings like this. Bitcoin reacts strongly during fearful times, but these phases don’t last long.

The drop isn’t just about Epstein. The whole market is down, indicating deeper issues. News like this doesn’t shake the market that much.

Totally agree. People panic due to war and Epstein news, but it mostly impacts short-term traders. Long-term holders will ride it out.

There’s definitely been some FUD around Binance and CZ lately. Not sure if it’s justified, but numbers don’t lie. Their actions have hurt a lot of investors.

True, loads of names thrown around as potential Satoshis, but none stick. Epstein being Satoshi? Yeah right. He’s a criminal, Satoshi is something else entirely.
