FUD
Plain reading
An acronym for 'fear, uncertainty, and doubt,' referring to negative information or sentiment spread to drive down the price of a cryptocurrency. FUD can be legitimate concern, deliberate manipulation, or simply the natural anxiety of a declining market. Distinguishing between the three is the real skill.
The Oracle speaks
The Moon illuminates just enough to make everything look threatening. FUD thrives in half-light, where the seeker cannot tell rumor from fact. The Moon does not create the fear. She reveals how much of it was already there, waiting for an excuse.
