Cryptocurrency Slang Gone Wrong

in #crypto7 years ago (edited)

In this current gloomy market, just for a bit of fun, I've put together a list of alternative cryptocurrency slang definitions. I'd love to hear your suggested edits or additions. There's a link at the end of this article. Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • ATH - All Time Hopes. Usually muttered along with the rose-tinted words "When my bag was at its ATH, I had my eye firmly attached to a yellow Lambo".
  • Bags - A large holding of shitcoins that are worth much less than what you paid for them.
  • Bagholder - Someone who holds bags and is unjustifiably proud of their stash.
  • BHSL - What a noob does ie Buys Hope, Sells Losses.
  • Block - What you do to people that send you links to binary option scams.
  • BTFD - Buy The Fucking Dip, you dipshit.
  • Cryptonitis - Despite being exhausted, you still cannot sleep.
  • DR;TL - definition needed.
  • DYOR - definition needed.
  • FA - Flawed Analysis. Usually involves nothing more than reading a shill's comment on social media.
  • Fake News - Donald Trump promising to make cryptocurrency slang great again.
  • FIAT - Government backed currencies that are just as reliable as that Italian Government backed motorcar; the Fiat.

  • Lambo - Expensive car that HODL'er's expect to buy with their bags, the annual insurance of which costs more than a sensible sedan.

  • Moon - An imaginary height that your favourite coin's price will never reach.
  • Noob - Someone newly introduced to cryptocurrencies. Often recognisable by them having the over-exuberance of an untrained puppy.
  • OG or Bitcoin Original Gangsta - someone that has been involved with cryptocurrencies long enough to have known Satoshi Nakamoto.
  • P&D - definition needed.
