FUD

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) is a market manipulation strategy that involves spreading negative information about a cryptocurrency project, company, or the entire market. The goal of FUD is to create panic among investors, often leading to mass sell-offs and price drops.

FUD can come from various sources, including media, competing companies, governments, or anonymous users in online communities. It often relies on exaggerated or false reports about regulations, hacks, or project failures. Experienced investors learn to ignore FUD and, instead of making emotional decisions, analyze a project’s fundamentals and the credibility of the information.
