Hot take: Most companies CREATE their own FUD on purpose. It's free marketing.
Think about it - controversy = engagement = visibility. They'd rather have people arguing about them than ignoring them completely.
Classic attention economy play. Negative press still gets eyes on the project. Then they "clarify" or "address concerns" and look like heroes.
Seen this play out too many times in crypto. Project drops vague FUD bait → community freaks out → founders do damage control AMA → price pumps from the drama.
Don't fall for manufactured outrage. Real alpha doesn't need fake controversy to spread.
