                    Short form for ‘[fear of missing out]’. The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell [other shit] to buy into it freaking out. As [crypto] trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto.
