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".

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.

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.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

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.

@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.

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.

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.

I also wonder a meaning of HODL :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
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.

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!
