What is FUD in the Context of Investing?

[Roberto]

  In financial discussions, especially around cryptocurrencies, I often hear the term "FUD." What does it stand for and how does it affect investor behavior?

FUD stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. It's a strategy commonly used in marketing, politics, and especially in investment circles to influence perception by disseminating negative, misleading, or false information. This tactic can affect investor decisions, often causing people to sell off assets irrationally out of fear of potential losses rather than based on sound financial analysis. Understanding FUD and how it's used can help investors make more informed decisions and avoid panic-driven actions.
