The acronym FUD stands for 'FEAR, UNCERTAINTY and DESPAIR'. in cryptocurrency it is generally used to refer to negative talks about a coin which is inaccurate or misleading, often posted in forums and through social media.

FUD is an acronym for fear, uncertainty and doubt. It is a marketing term that is often used to cast a shadow over a competitor's product when your own is unable to compete. FUD is a technique used by larger companies who have a large market share. The FUD acronym was first freely defined by Gene Amdahl after he left IBM to found his own company, Amdahl Corp, with this statement: "FUD is the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that IBM sales people instill in the minds of potential customers who might be considering Amdahl products."

Cryptocurrency borrowed this word from another speculative market, the stocks market.

Yes that's the meaning of FUD.

Mostly it means doubt but that has almost the same meaning.

is translated as "Fear, uncertainty and doubt". When a crypto community calls some FUD news, it means that the news is probably not an objective evaluation, but a rumor that can affect the price of bitcoin. For example, the news that China has banned the mining of bitcoins was held under the tag FUD. Therefore, FUD is rather a tactic of psychological manipulation, which is used to feed the news so as to sow uncertainty and doubt about the viability of the crypto currency.

You should have posted the main purpose of creating fud, it is actually done to create panic among holders so they sell for cheap and the fudders can buy the same asset for low price, so this is a basic strategy to manipulate the market.

The problem with the world we live in is supporters of projects can become so deluded that they ignore very valid criticisms and scream FUD when someone says something they don’t like. Take Verge for example. Supporters defend all the hacks, terrible marketing decisions, sketchy practices etc.

The flip side is people use actual FUD to bring down price or sabatoge projects that are competitors to the project they like best.

Just do your own research before you make any decisions when you see FUD.

Totally right. FUD is fear, uncertainty, doubt. It is a disinformation strategy used to alter perception. It has been used in many instances that have nothing to do with crypto, but it is used very often by the powers that be when discussing crypto.

market trends are highly correlated with feelings and sentiment about the potential of a trading asset. FUD is not only related necessarily to disinformation and negative talks. It can originate from actual real facts and news, as long as they give you reason to believe your investment has potential to fail

FUD is opposite of HYPE for me. FUD are there to create negativity about crypto thus making prices dropped then those who have weak hands give up their cryptos. The cycle continues with HYPE and FUD, that makes cryptocurrency volatile.

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and doubt) is a harmful thing for the market from my view. It often influence to take wrong decisions like panic sales. If the FUD is massive then it can even make a coin fall.

by meaning fud can be means many things but In here it is basically means the mental situation of anxiety,  in crypto market you have deal with fear while you are investing on something so FUD is that mental situation of yours , well your this anxiety helps you to make a wise decision

most of the time the price of the crypto is driven by these 3 things. That is the main reason why crypto market is not a stabilized one like stock or forex market.

you are also right. I think FUD is uncertainty and doubt. It is most usual in crypto market. I think it is a great problem in crypto. we should avoid this.

Thanks for your post. You are right. FUD describes the spreading of “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt”. As in most walks of life, in cryptocurrency trading specifically FUD is your friend.

FUD, simply in my word, means a negative impression associated with fear, doubt, and uncertainty regarding a fact. In crypto space, FUD is used in expressing negative impression towards a coin, token, ICOs, project in a market price position. That means the condition is bad and people are FUD about it.

For me any cryptocurrency that can not survive FUD is not a credible project. FUD differentiate a good coin from a scam coin.
FUD is not always bad for would-be investors as it will expose the weakness or strength of a project.

FUD is simply a tactic used by Market makers to maniuplate the market to make the weak hands sell their crypto for cheap so they can accumulate..

FUD is Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. FUD can cause the price of a coin to drop, not based on fundamentals or charts, but based on bad news that spreads around social media

This post of yours is very informative. So far I know Premine is a condition of some new cryptocurrencies, where the max supply has already been created before being made publicly available.

yes that is true, i think i like post raised because i have learnt some about some mind-set determinants

I was wondering about the meaning of this FUD abbreviation of for a long time. I couldn't look and learn from the work density. Thanks for information.

FUD i.e Fear Uncertinty, Despair has a huge impact on the cryptomarket. Often the users who couldn't make profit or faced loss falls a victim to FUD and they spread negativity among the other users. When someone becomes a part of the cryptocworld, they must have a prper mindset includng patience, risk to face loss, and ready for any kind of situation. Those who fail to have such mindset, they themselves drag them to the darker side.

It is the first time seeing the D to mean despair, I used to know FUD as fear, uncertainty and doubt which usually occur when there is a bad news on a project or when there is too much du.ping by whales which result in FUD.

It's simply the art of creating fear, uncertainty and despair in the market. The aim is to make hodlers sell for the fear of losing out(FOMO) while those who create FUD benefits from this by buying at cheap prices.

From my point of view its right. FUD is uncertainty, doubt. This is a strategy to modify perception. It already used different instant but nothing to do with it. It is used rarely by the power that discussing crypto.

From my point of view its it actually create panic among all the investor or holders so they sell cheper and fudder can but their asset at low cost. It a basic tactics to manipulate the market.

FUD  is an acronym for FEAR UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT, its employed to spread panic about a token or cryptocurrency, it could make people rush to sell off their tokens, only to notice a bull run after a few days. Its better for one to verify and be certain of any information circulating before making a decision.

For me fud is creating negative impact on the crypto currency market and make panic to sell small investors coins and when market turns green from red then sell and make profits.

FUD is an acronym for FEAR, UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBTS. i believe that FUD is as a result of creating negative impact in the crypto market

It is evident if we have fear in this market because it is unstable and unpredictable. But that should not stop us from doing what we are meant to do here. We do need to set our FUD aside and work hard.

FUD abbreviated for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. The term evolved from stock market for a start of. FUD is derived from a negative news on cryptos. When FUD occurs, people sell their cryptos at a low price. It also creates panic among the holders of crypto, in times of great misleadings and wrong information and they sell of their shares on the coins.

Yes, people make FUD to intimidate investors into selling their coins. When this happens, the FUDers often buy the sold coins to sell later at a higher price. It is a manipulation tactic to encourage you to sell your coins cheap. Thats why you should stay calm, keep up-to-date with crypto news, read a variety of sources and make your own opinion and dont naively believe FUD posts.


Premine just means an amount of coins that have already been mined before the wallet/miner software is released to the public. It isnt the max supply - otherwise there would be less incentive for proof of work or proof of stake (no block reward, only tx fees). Premines only present a danger if the holder decides to suddenly dump the premined coins and crash the coins price.

Premine coins are often sold in ICOs and some are reserved for later development costs. The remaining coins (max supply - premine) can be mined  by users of the coin.

Premine is usually announced (if not, it is visible in the blockchain), therefore you can freely choose to not invest in a coin that has a premine.

You know it already so I wonder why you asking or I guess for the newbie that don't know.

FUD is a financial term that has been there from a long time ago. It means fear uncertainty and doubt. This occurs when someone or a group of people start to spread negative news about cryptos. So, people get manipulated thus selling their coins for a relatively lower price and making a loss for themselves. Incidents like these create unrest in the community.

So, to my great regret, this abbreviation in the present news is very much because the crypto is going through very bad times now!
