I just passed away from FOMO because i have managed to gather a decent amount of btc to be at least on the back of the train . But i can tell you for sure that FOMO is real, i could even sleep and all i could pray for was that BTC price wont rise until i collect some more satoshi.

Bitcoin is not the only coin that is being driven by FOMO. If you look at Coinmarketcap you see multiple coins in the top 100 rising over 50% a day.
It is true that after the bull rally of Bitcoin
in 2017 with each day new ATH, most of
the people are buying due to FOMO and the
same goes for other cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency is even now mostly speculative
in nature with only a few people with proper
analysis and knowledge of what it is.

I agree strongly with this when it comes to bitcoin. With the price having skyrocketed from $0.003 to $17,000 USD chances are that you already missed the boat in terms of tremendous profits. But because of FOMO (fear of missing out) people are coming in and buying bitcoin for very expensive prices simply because so many other people have made money off it. I think FOMO is one of the driving forces right now for bitcoin prices
Are people acting on emotion rather than logic?
yes YOU are acting on emotions when you panic sold your bitcoin and also when you tried to short bitcoin while the price was rising.
you should have stopped listening to the spamming FUD that was going around telling you what to do and calling the downfall of bitcoin. this is a well known tactic that only affects newbies like you who will lose money when they fall for it.
the solution is to simply stop being gullible
Its largely true for those who are new to it. And it will only increase.
I like to spread my fud over a lightly toasted audiance , with a heavy sprinkle of FOMO, very engoyable ..bahhahahahahhahaa
Fear Of Missing Out is a real concept.
This is not FUD
exactly when btc price zoom out to 10k level many think to profit taking hoping btc price would have correction and can buy back at lower level but price may not goes what they seem and continue to run up to even 18k level so those who sell at 8-10k level buy back at much higher prices This is not FUD
When is come to money majority of people are emotional when it comes to making profit or losing some profit when they have the chance but just look the other way, only a few people are logical enough to understand what are the consequence of what they did.

I'm afraid that it's true at some point. More people right are trying to get themselves some bitcoins because it is the current trend. It's like when you are in school and someone famous in your class purchased a new pair of shoes so everybody else bought the same shoes for them to look cool. It's saddening but it's true that people who are new in btc right now are just like that. They heard that it's new and is about to go mainstream that's why they bought some so that when someone they know are talking about it they can say that they too have btc even without any knowledge about it. And those very people will be the weakness of this community because they will be the first ones to dump btc when something bad happen especially some corrections which for some of us are normal. I hope they will be enlightened and see the real purpose and value of btc in the future and not act emotionally.
People, turn on your brains! A newbie prolific poster self-styled “ShortCoins” (get it?) is spamming FUD threads at an amazing rate. Each devoid of substance, but dripping breathless, hyped-up worry. Each replete with cute emoji in the subject line, to draw the fools. What do you think the game is here?

What you really need to understand is that Bitcoin doesn’t give a damn about you, the special little snowflake. Bitcoin doesn’t need you. Big money is moving into Bitcoin now. If you don’t like Bitcoin, then dump it now and go be poor. Someday, you will miss Bitcoin. Bitcoin will never miss you.
While he is starting a lot of threads, most of what he is saying is pretty factual. You just fail to read it and see it for what it plainly is.

Honestly, many people are into cryptocurrency using nothing but the herd mentality...when many people are getting into something it can attract others to also do the same thing. This is human nature and there is only one thing we can do about it and that is helping people to be educated with cryptocurrency and the attendant risks involved. Still, it is their money and at the end it is their own decision that would be important. We are now under heavy speculation though this has been one feature of cryptocurrency ever since it was born years ago...more of a gamble because by then nobody can be sure where was this fledgling industry was going. Now, that it is almost reaching the mainstream population, we should be expecting more and more people to enter something that has the potential to create some fortune. This is the very reason why many analysts are calling people to be careful because they have seen the same history repeating itself regarding the boom-and-bust cycle that affected many industries in the past. We are just hoping that cryptocurrency specifically Bitcoin can be a very different animal. Investment is always a mix of logic and emotion since we are not yet robots. I am banking on Bitcoin's resiliency and capacity to be truly different.

We can't blame most of crypto enthusiasts to be like this for we are just humans and it takes time and discipline to be that cold hearted and strong hands when it comes to our coins. We can see that prices of bitcoin and altcoins are surging, thanks to those emotions that this traders have. All of the good news and hypes can make us buy and all that bad news and fuds can make us sell, these things if you mastered correctly can be a weapon from your arsenal than you can surely use to attain success in this business or for others their passion.

Janet Yellen was asked about it twice today during her final fed meeting. She did say people may lose a lot of money but it does not pose a threat to the financial structure at this point
It doesn't pose a threat to the financial structure at this point due to all the FUD and misinformation that the mainstream media puts out to the masses concerning BTC and other cryptos. The ignorant don't know the scope of how blockchain is changing our lives and how the cryptocurrencies are facilitating that. Banks and Governments classify cryptos as commodities and play that tune to the institutional investors hoping they won't see cryptocurrencies for what they are, and evolution of fiat currency which will make fiat obsolete.
HODL is a meme, maybe you are a little bit outdated out here. But yes, a lot of people are just holding because they are hearing the same word once & once again, hundreds of times a day.
Not fomo, but you should know that now that everybody wants to earn money, they all are going to be introducing themselves into bitcoin. And there is nothing new with this.
If you just join a way to make money easily, wouldn't you try to learn? that is why most people are just investing, and they do not even know in what the hell are they investing, like 60% of people in here.
