FUD isnt FUD when its true. I dont get paid to speak the truth I just do it.
I think this is the root of the issue.
There IS irrational fearmongering that is based complete falsehoods to try and take down competing coins.
There is ALSO a hell of a lot of scamming and shit that goes on behind closed doors.
People who are legitimately exposted try to say that FUD in discovering the truth is the same as the FUD that is the same as 100% bullshit.
Being a victim and crying about fudders in crypto is the new status quoe.
People use the word FUD as a defense mechanism against criticism of their choice of investment. Most "FUD" is true and most of what is termed as "FUD" are people objections and concerns. Real "FUD" would be statements which offer 0 thought or evidence of validity and malicious behavior like giant red text etc.
If a person is crying "OMG FUD!! leetz rofl's your r a hater!" then I just assume they have no idea what they are talking about in the first place.
