FUD
Why are people using that as an acronym now?
Is it just a crypto thing that people keep trying to make common?
I dont agree with anything you’re saying, I just want to know people keep trying to make FUD happen, it’s not going to happen.
I’ve heard it used for a long time.
At least since the 80s, I think it comes from that Far Side “Cat Fud” cartoon
I had to look it up. FEAR UNCERTAINTY DOUBT for anyone else who is feeling out of the acronym loop.
I’ve seen the “FUD” acronym thrown around for a while to be honest, usually in the context of highlighting misinformation.
I don’t follow the crypto community though - i’m guessing they use it a lot more there for some reason?
FUD goes back to Microsoft during their embrace, extend, extinguish era. It was their game plan for killing open source.
