FOMO
Fear of missing out: the feeling of urgency when others appear to be benefiting from an opportunity.
PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION
In more detail
In crypto conversations it often describes pressure to join a rising market or popular project before investigating it. FOMO identifies a feeling or motivation, rather than evidence that an opportunity is good.
