FUD is an acronym for “Fear – Uncertainty – Doubt”, a tactic involving the dissemination of negative or misleading information to manipulate public opinion or decision-making. There are many forms of FUD that are often promoted by mainstream media, governments, and powerful entities who wish for certain market effects from their badmouthing crypto. Example: “China bans bitcoin” is FUD. “Bitcoin ruins the environment” is FUD. The crypto community coined the term because of how prominent it is among no-coiners as a way to dissuade people from owning/buying Bitcoin. In truth, FUDers are no coin losers, and they don’t mean much for the coming crypto revolution!
