Concerns among speculators have grown and Facebook’s decision to ban cryptocurrency and Initial Coin Offering adverts has not gone unnoticed. Eastman Kodak has delayed their launch of KodakCoin. Bitcoin is under pressure early today.

FUD Factor Increasing Nervous Sentiment, Facebook Move Hurts Cryptos

Cryptocurrencies declined on Wednesday as concerns mount in the sector and increase the ‘Fud Factor’. Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubts have escalated.

Another Downturn in Bitcoin as Questions Grow Loud, Growing Fear Factor

Bitcoin suffered a downturn yesterday, and it has not shown an ability to reverse substantially higher. Bitcoin is around 9700.00 U.S Dollars, and resistance continues to be the 12,000 level. However, the question being heard the loudest is, where the next Bitcoin support ratio rests? While the 9,000 juncture appears to be significant, if Bitcoin stumbles below the 8,700 U.S Dollars level, it will have wiped out its significant gains made the past two months. And if this occurs, speculators who remain in long positions may face tough decisions if uncertainty grows.

Critical reports about the valuation of KodakCoin have not been answered well, essentially leaving the venture to blow in the wind temporarily.
