FUD is the abbreviation for Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt.

There is a big drop in the market, and even if everyone is scared, uncertain and suspicious, you want HODL to stay.

[vorseb]

FEAR, UNCERTANITY, 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. Many times the bad news isn?t substantiated or grounded in reality, and instead ends up being something silly like a popular talking head?s opinion that Bitcoin is a bubble. The fear, uncertainty, and doubt-inducing idea being spread around media can be referred to as FUD.

I don't mean to be rude, but you're asking for a defenition of a word that is used all around the globe, it's been used (amongst others) for microsoft scare tactics, so please don't litter the forum with these questions... They have very little to do with bitcoin, so they certainly don't belong in the bitcoin discussion subforum.

Everybody now visiting this thread: the answer has been given, please stop repeating the same answer so this thread can silently dissapear

[Clifmeister]

I still doubt that govts trying to regulate Bitcoin is all a FUD though since govts really need to do some sort of regulation if they want to continue receiving taxes from their citizens. This is the latest big scare which I think is legit.

Many people scare and produce untold stories so they can manipulate people because of bullying news. In the crypto world it is called FUD NEWS.

So if you do not want someone to buy something and you are the competitor or even invested in the competitors product, then you would use FUD to attempt to persuade other people not to buy your competitor. <In this case, people spread FUD about Bitcoin, so that other people will not buy it>

In Scotland you would be called a fud for buying the competitors product. ^joke^

beautiful and clean explanation because I read it I learned it. Trust the person who taught you what to do because it is good for you. At times it's hard to find a cryptocurrency contact person because it's rarely especially when you're in the same place but you're working on things.

[virendarnagpal]

if i am not mistaking, FUD stands for Fear, uncertainty and doubt. it is a disinformation strategy used in sales, marketing, public relations, talk radio, politics, religious organizations, and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear. i am sure the situation we see in crypto-world now is the result of this strategy.

[LtMotioN]

FUD is basically anything negative about a coin.  Even legitimate issues raised with a project is FUD these days.
For example, a certain coin uses MD5 hashing which is breakable and generates private keys based on the time of day. This means your coins are not secure. Raising this to supporters of said coins is FUD, despite the fact that these are legitimate red flags.

FUD used to mean news agencies saying "bitcoin is dead", these days the moon and lambo crew have taken over the definition.

FUD means Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubts. Mostly because of these people, especially the newbies here in the market, sells their coins/tokens being afraid to lose their investments and to cut their losses. I hate it because I know that the government can only do such fake news and do give feedbacks on cryptocurrencies.

[gantez]

When you read and see FUD, is regarded as negative. Any news item that is not favourable is termed as FUD. If it is not a positive news or information as far the cryptocurrency is involved , it can be called FUD in general term. It is used for coins or FUD affecting cryptocurrency. For instance, when you read about the social media banning icos etc, that is a FUD... fear, uncertainty, doubt.

[vergel24official]

FUD is could be done intentionally by people to sway the market downwards or even by misprison a misinterpretation of the news if you will so for example let say you buy a coin amd start going down and you are waiting for it to go up you did your technical analysis whatever or you didn't you just bought on speculation or somebody told you buy this coin and starts going down instead of up and keeps going down what you will do is you'll start getting edgy you will feel fear now when news comes out and start saying things like doom and gloom like oh my God  bitcoin going down and this looks always money or this exchange go hacked that's basically spreading of FUD. People are causing Fear Uncertainty and Doubt

Fear, uncertainty and doubt

Fear, uncertainty and doubt (often shortened to FUD) is a disinformation strategy used in sales, marketing, public relations, talk radio, politics, religious organizations, and propaganda. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear.

While the phrase dates to at least the early 20th century, the present common usage of disinformation related to software, hardware and technology industries generally appeared in the 1970s to describe disinformation in the computer hardware industry, and has since been used more broadly.

[eolitic]

i agree with all the posts here, but i would also like to add that it's almost the same as in politics. It's mud-slinging or infowar. you can call differently, but the result is the same. and unfortunately, as in politics, ordinary people suffer from the whales' games.

FUD is a part of manipulation scheme of whales. FUD means, casting fear or bad news or fear of not selling.

When a group of whales wants to bring down the price of a certain coin, they cast FUD to make the coin owners drop the coin. So they can buy these coins on its very low price.

FUD is good if you know how to mutilate the market!

[beskid]

FUD: is another acronym from the English "Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt", which translates 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.

Simply it is

FEAR
UNCERTAINTY
DOUBT

That's the abbreviation of the word FUD. It is actually a way to trap people and make them lose money by creating the fear of losing or the fear of missing the profit also. When Bitcoin was near 20000$, many people invested just because of the fear of missing out on profits and they all made wrong decision of entering in bitcoins in such high price.

[Dewin Ayuu]

FUD is when a person or organization demotes a competitors product by just out right attacking (open source is cancer) twisting statistics (99% of malware targets android) or by making points that don't make any sense but uneducated might believe them.

[Dudeperfect]

As we all know the full form of FUD stands for fear, uncertainty and doubt. It is the face when you don't know what to do with your investment because you don't have much research with you to back your investment decision. This happens when the market is falling and everyone is selling his investment. However one should stick with his research if he has confidence and faith in the same because this is not a great sign of responding to the FUD wave from the market as a matured investor.

[gotminer]

Maybe if some of you guys put that much thought into shit that matters, you wouldn't be broke ass bag holders  ... How many times does the question really need to be answered?

[MintDice]

This is an acronym that stands for ‘Fear, uncertainty, and doubt.’ Many people in the cryptocurrency communities usually use this term when anyone is saying negative things about cryptocurrencies, blockchain technology, or a specific coin.

[eijikaido11]

FUD is anything that intends to install “fear, uncertainty and doubt” in bitcoin and other digital currencies. Within the deep threads of chat forums and on the Twitter, FUD is often compared with fake news who see any negative news as an attack on the credibility of their digital assets.
