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.
I think people are just focusing too much on "fake" fud spreading and that is why they are so sure about the situation and why they think it is bad.

The reality is that we are talking about a situation that is much worse and there are situations where it is just people who think that it is actually dropping and that's why they are telling it, which is definitely not an easy thing to say because we don't really know if it will go up or not, but the reality is that we are just unsure about it. That is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked about it and just accept that FUD is not done for a fake fear type of thing all the time, sometimes it's real.

But it's hard to distinguished in the beginning if that the news is fake or real, that is the problem. We have to read between the lines, who are the source, have the crypto news outlet validated it or not?

That's why still on us, to whether believed on it or not, or make our decisions based on that news. So maybe it's unethical, maybe it's not. We don't have control on who is going to read it, or what will be their reaction is.

There are several ways you can do to distinguish whether the information is FUD or not, such as:

  • Check the source of the information and make sure that the source is reliable and trustworthy.
  • Make sure that the information received has a strong basis and is supported by concrete evidence.
  • Don't rush to conclusions and read the full information to understand the context and true meaning.
  • Get opinions from various independent and reliable sources to get a better picture.
  • Don't be swayed by emotions and strive to make rational, fact-based decisions
