FOMO
Fear of missing out: that itch to jump in because everyone else seems to be making money without you.
In more detail
In crypto, FOMO often shows up after a price spike, a hyped launch or a feed full of profit screenshots. It can make waiting feel like losing, even when you barely know what the project does. The word names that pressure; it doesn't tell you whether the opportunity is real.
How you might use it
The token was all over my feed. I nearly bought from FOMO before even opening the docs.
