Kickass resource. Just small suggestion, as I want to send this link around to some normies: Clarifying slang/ terminology (like the FUD acronym) unfamiliar to them might make this page a little more approachable.
good idea. the title header used to have the word FUD as a hyperlink to the wikipedia article but the way the site is organized now I'm not sure how to make it work in an elegant way. Right now the title is taken from the repo description and I don't think I can use hyperlinks there.
Will be happy to consider a PR request that solves the problem.
Maybe use a hoverable tooltip for FUD or have it entirely spelled out.
You have "The best links to articles debunking Bitcoin FUD" maybe change it to "The best links to articles debunking Bitcoin Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt". You should be able to link the wikipedia page in this line of text.
The cryptocurrency space has a ton of terminology though. You could make a dictionary page with words and their definitions. But most people would need to have a basic understanding to get the most out of endthefud.org links.
You could always link people to libera.chat #bitcoin IRC so they could ask questions.
I wasn't planning on adding terminology to the site. I'm not saying it's not a good idea, just that it sounds like its own little website, which I'd be happy to link to as a general resource. I think the curation of the articles in this page should take care to choose article that are approachable for people who aren't necessarily familiar with the jargon. I think most articles selected here meet this standard, but probably not all of them. I'm trying to focus on FUD-busting in this particular site. It's not so much a place to go to learn about bitcoin - it's a place to find specific FUD-countering articles to refer to people who get captured by FUD. There are more general purpose Q&A sites for Bitcoin material where a glossary would be more fitting. And there are glossaries out there already. Quite a few of them. e.g. https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary
