There is no gray in area in spreading FUD's. It's all black area therefore, it is unethical.
I mean is there a time where spreading a FUD became ethical?
FUD itself is considered unethical, but for me, FUD's is a good thing especially when that FUD really has a great effect on the price of every cryptocurrencies. FUD's = opportunity for us here while for some, FUD is something that they hate.
Overall, people see FUD's differently. There are times that they see it as an ethical way for some reasons and there are some like me who are not. After all, spreading FUD's to the public is a perfect way for the market to be shaken. FUD's for me is a way to remove the weak hands.
Maybe in the eyes of the majority here in the cryptocurrency community, the spread of Fud is not good, but if you look at it from a different angle, you can also see and measure the extent of your knowledge in this industry.
This is also where we can find out for ourselves whether our knowledge is deep or shallow. And you will also see the different opinions and views of others which one you think is right or wrong.
When you are just still new then these news or simply fuds could easily affect you out on which it would really be ending up for you to be that impulsive towards your investment position on which you might be
selling out because of panic which is really a very common act to be done specially by noobs who hadnt have any experience on this market. FUD is common and also with shills and hypes and this is why its is
really that ideal for you to be wary into these things because neither unethical or not it would really be just giving out on the same impression.
This is why it would be depending on someones knowledge and experience on what are the actions that they would be making for whatever conditions or situations that they might faced on.
