FUD
a.k.a. Fear, uncertainty and doubt
Fear, uncertainty and doubt: negative talk, true or not, that makes people want to sell.
In plain English
Fear, uncertainty and doubt: negative talk, true or not, that makes people want to sell.
FUD is the mood created by scary headlines, rumours or warnings. The phrase is older than crypto but became a crypto catchphrase, often thrown at any bad news people would rather ignore.
Some FUD is manipulation; some is a real warning. Calling everything FUD is as dangerous as believing all of it. Check the facts.
