noun | feer uhn·sur·tuhn·tee and dout
FUD is like when your grandma sees a news article about Bitcoin being used for illegal activities and tells you that you're gonna lose all your money and go to jail - it's the spreading of negative and often false information about a crypto project, in order to drive down the price. It's the weapon of choice for bitter noobs and paid shills alike.
Example
"Every time Bitcoin dips, the mainstream media starts spreading FUD about how it's a bubble and it's going to zero. Meanwhile, the same people who told you not to buy BTC at $1 are now telling you not to buy it at $50k. Fuck outta here with that noise."
"FUD is like kryptonite for bagholders - it's what makes them weak in the knees and quick to hit the sell button. But real OGs know that FUD is just an opportunity to buy more and HODL harder. We eat FUD for breakfast and shit out gains."
