WHAT IS FUD

[trublebrukhardt]

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.

DESPAIR'.

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.

[steplaza]

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.

[Loye]

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

[cryptomadu]

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.

[Lignxxx]

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.

[Jerrycryptofield]

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.

[Subal1971]

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.

[StarKay]

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.

[HickorySmoked]

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..

[jonloner011]

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

[jonloner011]

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.
