Guide: FOMO vs FUD
FUD and FOMO are both based on the same dangerous emotion: FEAR. Traders who are affected by those terms usually experience significant monetary losses. Warren Buffet, one of the most known investors on earth, used to say, “If you cannot control your emotions, you cannot control your money.” Similarly, the well-known trader and author, Alexander Elder is also a believer in this philosophy, we quote him: “Many traders ride an emotional roller coaster and miss the essential element of winning: the management of their emotions”.
FOMO vs FUD: What are they?
If you are new in the cryptocurrency world, then you may be hearing the terms “FUD” and “FOMO” and wondering why everyone uses them so much. The truth is that in trading, neither FUD nor FOMO are your friends. Both terms are highly related to the emotional bias that emerges when trading.Professional traders know that controlling emotions is the hardest thing to do. That's why crypto enthusiasts are usually affected by FOMO and FUD. But what do those acronyms actually mean?
FUD the short-version of “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt”. The term refers to bad news spread around social media that can affect the price negatively. In
most cases, the information is not accurate, precise, or correct, thus creating a misleading reality. The cryptocurrency market has experienced several times the consequences of FUD. Cryptocurrency valuations have been affected by those ungrounded rumors and claims, affecting the veracity of the whole market.FOMO, on the other hand, is not “external” but “internal”. Those four words are the acronym of “Fear Of Missing Out”, which refers to someone’s feeling of not being part of the momentum. The sentiment, based on fear and regret, makes people make irrational entries in the market, therefore, causing them to buy at the top or sell at the bottom of a movement.
To conclude this chapter on FOMO vs FUD, we will like to highlight that there are ways in which traders can avoid these two phenomena. The first solution is sticking to fundamentals and charts, as well as doing deep research before entering a trade. As a second piece of advice, it is important to detect those emotions right in advance, because in many cases you can profit from them… You may be wondering something like: Wait, what?
Yes, you can profit from the irrationality present in the market. If your analysis and research are on point, then you can profit from a dump or a pump, creating even a better entry than the one you originally planned. Next time, detect FUD and FOMO in the market. Then remember to use this information to profit, as the most successful investors know when and how to use it to their advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
