FUD definition: fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage.

I had no idea before reading this post ...

Aha, thanks for that. I guess I just assumed it was like LOL, something everyone knew. I guess I guessed wrong!

Ha! Seriously. I didn't know this term before getting very involved with cryptocurrency

I'm from Scotland and that word means something different here :P
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FUD

It mustn't be something nice since it was blocked by my work internet filter. At least I can still get to Steemit

Thanks for helping me learn something new today :)

I clicked on this post to find out what FUD meant as well lol

m2

Me too, my rock is very large!

Since you have been in the game some years now, it's no wonder that you assume this. You have probably heard this term more times than i have heard Trump said "China" ;)

i guess same to you.

I am SO glad you are on here, --- I remember the day you joined.

Vive #Liberty!!!

Most people hate FUD. Not me. I love FUD. Why do I love FUD? Because, at the end of the day, it was the FUD that gave me bitcoin.

So how much bitcoin did you get then? ;)

pleez i need a upvoted i'm new steemian

How about a downvote?

this will demotivate him will leave the community. Lets encourage him to do more posting.

If those types of whining, begging posts are what they have to offer, he needs to leave.

Exactly. I'm just a day old in Steemit and I'm already getting tired of seeing people begging for upvotes and random commenting on others' posts. Things like, "Follow me, I'll follow back". Why would I ask a bunch of random people to follow me back if neither of us are going to read each others' posts.

By the way, is there anything like downvote in steemit?

upvote and follow me

Wow!!!! What great content!!!! Those 4 words are so motivating!!!! What an offer!!! What to do, what to do......... I think I will pass.

hahaha man I love people who beg for free stuff Just like in the real word yay irony intended

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is also a good one.

Usually FOMO is used in short-term trading or day trading and refers to something (a market) you are familiar with. I tend to think FUD as fear of something unknown you have never seen before but have the insight it may be worth trying.

Cool, thanks for the extra info.

Hello @oceancoiz. Im from aceh. I like your post.

Thank you for reading :)

@bukharisulaiman

I liked your post, I have low voting power but I will be happy to follow you.

FOMO - Officially my favourite acronym from now on!! Legend.

Nice, very useful. Thanks.

I was just thinking: whats a fud? :) thanks jerry!

Thanks Jerry - I didn't know what it meant either and I've only just learnt what FOMO means!

1500 BTC per hour being purchased globally this hour... via fiatleak.com

figured id make a music video to celebrate... @dollarvigilante

This will go viral in a couple more days....THINGS ARE HAPPENING ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE. Gold will be ALL OVER . NO MORE PAPER MONEY!!!!!

REALLy Jerry?? U hadnt heard this yet?? I just found out about a week ago from @trevvonjb and @craig-grant and then i heard everyone use it, reminds me of Elmer Fudd when i hear it, which makes sense as fear and Anxiety are present during a rabbit hunt.

Anyway i am proud of you getting $8 for a comment! And I believe @keiserreport can bring steemit 1 million new users EASILY with a simple plugg from Max and stacey on the show! They can show everyone LIVE ON AIR how much money theyve earned in JUST a few short days while on steemit

Did you know this post is #1 on Steemit.com right now?!?!

Max is so lucky that his wife can just make $1000 in just a few minutes, just wake up, write a blog post, make $1000 and stacey is probobly VERY happy with herself and I bet she is having all sorts of ideas about who ELSE would be good at steemit! And I KNOW stacey probobly wishes everyone could make $1000 a day on steemit and with more users we can get steem price up to the $10 to $100 range and then Steemit can become even moe popular once people hear about the fortunes people got from steems price shooting up over night, it would be so nice for everyone hre, and its going to hapen, but probobly next year, BUT if @keiserreport just makes qa point of promoting STeemit as a tool for both free speech AND financial freedom, then millions of new users, kaiser report audience, will all sing up for steemit and THAT is what we need the MOST right now, USERS! everything else will follow!

I am so excited for this, we all should be!

That's because you're a fucking moron @jerrybanfield.

I understand! The times in my life when I got the most pleasure calling others were a moron were the times when I most felt like one. Now I would rage on the surface and make a big show of acting like the opposite was true but if I was alone I knew the truth. I felt less than everyone else and worked really hard to bring everyone else down to prove I was simply an equal and worthy of love.

What helped me was others loving me until I could love myself. We are all worthy of love and the world we see outside us reflects the world we think is secret inside. I am very familiar with a world were not knowing a word or getting a bad grade on a test means I am a moron.

Aaaaaand, you've proved my point for me. Thanks, douche!

You're welcome!

Thanks, jerrybanfield

This is all so confusing...

@jerrybanfield Right arm... err... on. All of us have holes. If I had to write a book on my mechanical knowledge, I wouldn't have enough information to dedicate the forward. Our weaknesses bolster our strengths as they are entwined. That's why I take my car to the repair shop. As Steven K. Scott pointed out, we are really excellent at 8-9 areas. The stuff that we are poor at isn't the problem. It is the stuff we are good at but not excellent. That is the trap. Everyone should strive to be excellent at gracious words, like you.

Great article. You deserve a vote. Please check my blog.

But FUD is a deliberate strategy. It doesn't seem likely that the skeptics and cynics in the comments above were actually engaged in a disinformation campaign like the word 'FUD' means.

You do not believe there's been a deliberate disinformation operation against crypto? Really??? Did you just hit your head or something? I hope you're okay. ;-)

Of course there is. But there is also plain old ignorance and skepticism, and far more of it. Those YouTube comments are the typical skeptical response you can get to basically anything.

I misunderstood your reply then, for I'm talking about the overall situation. I'm not talking about a specific video. It has been documented though that governments hire people to spread disinfo through user accounts and bots on social media. The majority of the comments though are as you said. Thanks for the good back and forth! :)

And here I always thought FUD was just that really low grade meat product. Their hot dogs are always under a buck at my local grocery store.

thanks for explanation.

I also wonder a meaning of HODL :)

Serhanni, HODL is an acronym for: "Hold On For Dear Life", in other words, don't be a "soft hands" and sell fast due to FUD or because of a price dip. If you noticed there has ultimately been corrections with bitcoin and other strong cryptos. If you are a soft hands kind of person, you lose out when you sell. The "Strong hands" trader " will eventually gain because they HODL because cryptos such as bitcoin have come back even stronger after price drops, especially if they took advantage of the lower price and bought more. Its funny when I 1st saw the term I thought it was a typo for hold, until I saw a post by someone else complaining that people can't spell hold.... it was in the reply to that person where I learned the meaning as well.

Thank you very much for detailed explanation @quixote2u

Yes, it sounds funny when you hear first time :)

Same, maybe more common for those that report on the markets? I'm not sure but glad Jerry swung by like a walking dictionary for us! :) Cheers Jerry!

If I had not read your post I would still ask myself, what the fuck is FUD hahaha

I thought it was an abbreviation for fudge...mb

Ditto to that about not knowing until now. Thanks for clarifying FUD

Waoo awesome post .. very informative -- FUD is meant to stop YOU from learning and understanding on your own. FUD wanted us to STOP covering bitcoin, stop exploring and explaining and FUD will try hard to convince you to do the same. !!

Thanks! Now I understand.

Thanks a lot Jerry!!
I was wondering whats FUD but read your comment and you cleared all my doubts..
Thanks for the info!!
And hey i already upvoted and followed you!!
I would really appreciate if you check out my blogs hope to get followed back!!
Cheers!!

Great post @keiserreport
Really very informative.

Exactly @jerrybanfield.

Do have a look at my recenet post.

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@steemmates/usd3375-and-rising-201789t1473482z

Thanks!

The same here too @jerrybanfield the post is indeed on spot. Good point.

Thanks for the explanation! I was wondering...

Hah, that was the first thing that came to mind when opening this post: "What the heck is FUD?"
Thanks for explaining :D

Maybe you should have a course on "how to google questions you don't know the answer to". I'm sure it will be valuable to some:)

While you're looking up FUD, make sure to also look up COINTELPRO. They are related in this case. The true government is the banks after all, and COINTELPRO involves infiltrating and disrupting political organizations.

Therefore I ask: If central banking is the government, what is crypto?

It is a competing political organization in my opinion at least. That's the reason it is so dangerous to the banksters. It is undermining their control, power, and financial dominance. Expect lots of FUD and COINTELPRO!

Haha, reminds me of "hodl", a cryptocurrency term that I always thought was some kind of typo of "hold" done by accident until I realized :)

Really Awesome post thanks !!....My new post ...[Akshardham Temple]

FUD is the input. The output is SCN -- Submission, Confusion, and Nihilism

Really Awesome post thanks !!....My new post ...[Akshardham Temple]

thanks for your reply. i am also don's know about this post.

Thank you for giving the definition. Greatly appreciated.

My word i thought it was some type of mental disease lol got me there @roger

Thanks - I learned that today also.

Neither did I! :)

jerry please join @nwagod on his birthday countdown https://steemit.com/my/@nwagod4/my-birthday-countdown your comments is one in a million to the post

Ty for the definidefinition

Thanks, I was going to ask

It's just our beings!

Thanks for clarifying the definition...

Loading...

Yeah Stacy!

It is true. Love the FUD and stop worrying.

Know your enemy man !
I know its not disco but Mr Dylan was right
"Sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace"

You are right, sometimes satan comes as a angle of light.

Please define the 'controlled opposition' accusation... controlled by who ? opposing what ? What evidence do you base this accusation?

Lots of people are accused to be controlled opposition, particularly folks that are effective at influencing a large audience.

a person that speaks out against the establishment, govt etc while they are in fact working for/with them.

please re-read my questions and answer again. who/why and what evidence?

"establishment, govt" is broad af

Who, is a secret group that controls most of the world and a string of other secret societies, politicians, governments etc. They sit at the very top of the pyramid and everyone else answers to them. Why, I know the answer to that to.

I'm not going to say much more as I intend to write about them when I have finished my series on Assange and Wikileaks being controlled opposition. I don't want to share a future article in the comments. I hope that you can understand that. If you'd like to know who they are considering following me as I will get to them but I'll be on Assange for a month, if not more.

To be clear, I won't be trolling Max. I don't troll anyone. I think that it's great that he is here, should bring more people and give steemit more credibility.

To put my first comment in context. I had just posted Assange Part 4 and I was checking to see if it was on the trending page when I saw Max's post at the top of the page. Controlled opposition was front of mind. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything but I stick by what I said. I certainly don't intend to take it any further.

I wrote that Max was controlled 10 months ago. I also said that Assange was and I'm explaining why I believe that he is in my current series. All the best.

You think Max and Stacy are working for the government (banksters)?

Awww, that's cute.

Wow, I mean... I guess anything is possible, but do you have any idea how long of a con job that would have to have been? LOL

Max and Stacy have been acting this WHOLE time???

They might not be acting. They might not know any better or they might know their boundaries.

They're not Glenn Beck. Sure, they have boundaries, or they might lose their show. They are pushing out a lot of information though that is very counter to the established order.

I strongly suggest Max and Stacy own crypto, precious metals, and have good preparedness in other ways. They see what's coming too and share what they can as a warning.

They could be faking all of that, or they are not faking and are genuine. Which is more likely? Why does every single person that is fighting for liberty's cause automatically have to be bad in some way?

Why is it that every single person that steps to the front of the lines to fight has to be a cointel agent, controlled opposition, etc.? Perhaps we should question the people calling them those things instead.

It is impossible to know a person's true motivation if they hide it well, but you can get a fairly accurate understanding of it by watching what they say and do. Max and Stacy are saying and doing all the right things.

Do you see inconsistencies?

Loading...

media savvy yes, controlled opposition doubt it. He is a goldbug and pro crypto with a show on Russian a state broadcaster ... or are you saying he is controlled opposition because he does interviews with Bill Hicks?

Russia and Putin are controlled. The Cold War was a farce, the powers that be controlled the west and communism. Russia Today is just another MSM channel sharing another side of the story.

Look, I think that it's great that Keiser is on steem and I hope that he speaks about it on his tv show. I won't be saying much more about the topic. I've said what I wanted to say and I don't intend to troll him.

pretty amazing you got 1.38$ :P damn ?

good post 👩👩

Great article. You deserve a vote. Please check my blog.

or in 2017 Two super-contagious diseases, FUD and FOMO, will forever occur in the crypto investment community. The timing of these epidemics will be predictable. with every new ICO and bitcoin price rise.

I bought quite a bit of Quark based on Bill Still's enthusiasm for it. Still have it and waiting for it to go to the moon.......any day now.....

Make sure to keep us posted. =)

FUD
Fun underwear delight

FUD is just powerful people trying to get some cheap coins

I am GLAD these people are this way. That means it will give me time to build up a HUGE crypto capital before these sick cunts finally catch on.

Very informative

Wow, now there's a $12 comment if I ever saw one.

Very very informative. I am expecting this to be a $24. We going to Vegas boys!!!!

Yeah. That is pure gold. :)

Is it just me or is TheHealthRanger Mike Adams a real prick?

Have you say here...

Nah but Mike sometimes thinks he knows everything

Well he does know some things..

He certainly does!

Really what was said by @keiserreport.bitcoin did enter the scene. And while there are many cypherpunks, podcasters and bloggers who get there first, we are certainly the earliest international news program to explore emerging gamechanging technologies.

@bukharisulaiman

Ohh Stacyyyyy I love you that you are here with Max ofcourse , so excited I searched for "max keiser" when I first joined but didn't find you guys .... ))) sooo xcited to share the same platform it feels like we are family now ))))) ... I will be following youuu....

Really a fun read you've shared here. As I was working in the garden tonight I was thinking that there must have been the same comments about BTC / Crypto as my coworkers were telling me today.

I'm pretty new to crypto, so I understand that it takes a while to get a handle on it. If a stock was going up like this the would do some research and jump in. But, they won't open their eyes and see the shift.

The shift will not happen overnight, so the old world will keep moving on, but the new thing will overtake it.

No FUD, no FUD, no FUD

What is fud? I forgot

FUD definition: fear, uncertainty and doubt, usually evoked intentionally in order to put a competitor at a disadvantage

haha this is wonderful. I wonder how many BTC you bought back in that day.

so what happened to QUARK!?

FUD keeps it exciting

The only difference between Fear and Excitement is .. Attitude, its only a mindset
Peace, Love, Disco baby!

oh Keiser, love the history report; I remember back in the day I helped convince @futuremoneytrend to start covering bitcoin and we produced a documentary together in 2013, Banks Worst Fear which now has over 450,000 views!

This is a really great explanation. Thanks for sharing. :)

I don't like the FUD because it reminds me of the FED

Hahaha....and FED reminds me of "Jenet yellen"..

You aren't the only one to embrace that theory...

Interesting post. Cryptocurrency market is full of FUDs, FOMOs, speculations. However, it also opportunity for beguiled ones to find golds through noises.

so many acronyms we will be speaking whole sentences with them soon -lol

i'll take that worthless paper weight off your hands if you don't mind

Opps .. Maxcoin = mLP4AAKvdEJuVvx9WCH67SzVLtiFJLniGe

Ha! That's an interesting way to see it...But it's totally true, a couple of weeks ago, in the most FUD period for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, coins got cheaper and undervalued. Giving us an awesome investment opportunity. Since then the Blockchain market has shown its resiliency.

Awesome reflection @keiserreport!

Problem is how do you value crypto when there is no backing and some has inflating supply. Some have a viable sounding business model but then it is run by a company and defeats the decentralized idea to begin with. There is just perceived valuation and no real way to do value analysis of any kind. Buying Crypto is like jumping into junior mining stock on a nice story. Yes and I am doing it as well.

Valuation of these cryptos is out of my head too...what i have noticed is, mare speculation has value too, when there are too many of them . ....everyone is on a fest, picking up everything, it's a frenzy... i am totally for cryptos but with a pinch of salt regarding valuation. So what? Do i believe in bitcoin going 50 thousand to million ?...at the moment, i would rather believe "NEO" going 1000.

Hmm interesting, I will check out NEO... If we compare the stock market. Bitcoin would be more like Amazon, first to market and large user base... So it is likely it will out run the others in this race by popularity / adoption.

If crypto is to success in future, and u digest the valuation of bitcoin and ether and ok with it, my stock market experience see NEO is the best pick .. please dont ask me for valuation...lol

love the report, thank you :)

i couldn't help but smile when i didn't see any reference of maxcoin though @keiserreport

Max..coin..Hmmmmmm....Oh yeah I remember now investing heavily in Maxcoins! Remember those Mr Keiser? Maybe I should go back to suffering from CoinZheimers .....

plz followe me i'm new in steemit thank you <3 <3

In chaos lies opportunity.

Great content, i really love how you took us deep into the history of bitcoin plus its my first time hear this term FUD and shitcoin, i bet they would call bitcoin that now, they would have to use the term richcoin lol, thank you for this excellent post, i also followed you for more up date

Wise words. Great post.

Still so excited you guys are on Steemit. Steemit doesnt know it yet, but this is huge

I read all the comment area and some is asking what is FUD?

In this post, FUD means " facts - U - dislike". In other words, anything and everything you think that might be a harmful information is considered "FUD".

In the real world, it's Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Sort of like when the rumors of China banning bitcoin were floating around.

Now they love it, in fact they back up NEO.

great info....long live FUD :)....we love it...upvote and resteem for your post

Nice story!! like FUD ;))))

I Love FUD, when I see these words, it's the time to react 💪🏼🙌🏼💯

Love this post..so true!

wow.... very interesting post, thanks

george_bernard_shaw_quote.jpg

Haha, this is great, Stacy, and welcome to Steemit! So much of this reminds me of basic income. Just replace bitcoin with basic income and it describes so much of what I've been experiencing for years now.

You were ahead of the curve on both actually. ;)
