🤯 Crypto Lingo 101 — So You Don’t Sound Like a Total Noob 🚀

[madmax]

Hey fellow degen-in-training!
So you’ve fallen down the crypto rabbit hole and now everyone’s talking like they’re from another planet? No worries — I gotchu.

Here’s a crash course in crypto terms so you can fake it 'til you make it (or until you accidentally become a millionaire

🧱 Blockchain – Basically the digital version of that notebook you passed around in middle school, except no one can rip out a page and it’s visible to literally everyone.

Wallet – Where your crypto lives. Hot = online and fast. Cold = offline and safe. Lose your seed phrase and it’s gone forever... like your gym motivation.

🪙 Altcoin – Any coin that’s not Bitcoin. Think of them like Bitcoin’s weirder cousins with experimental side hustles.

🫡 HODL – A glorious typo that became gospel. Means "don’t sell no matter how red it gets." Diamond hands, baby .

DeFi – Banking without banks. Want to lend, borrow, or farm fake internet money at 200% APR? DeFi’s your playground.

NFT – Digital flex passes for art, music, monkey pics, or virtual shoes. You don’t “own” the Mona Lisa… but online? You just might.

FOMO – The reason you bought the top and cried in the shower. Happens when everyone is mooning and you’re stuck in stablecoins.

Degen – You, probably. Someone aping into projects with zero research, pure vibes. High risk, high memes.

🧻 Rug Pull – When a project suddenly disappears with all your money. Like dating someone who ghosts after borrowing your Netflix login.

Rekt – The emotional damage from going all-in and watching it drop 80% in 2 hours. Happens to the best of us. Or just us.

Mooning – When your bags are actually pumping and you start browsing yachts “just in case.”

FUD – Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt. Basically the boogeyman of crypto. Try not to panic-sell every time Twitter freaks out.

Whale – Someone with enough crypto to shake the market with a sneeze. When they move, we all feel it.

️ Gas Fees – Ethereum tolls. Sometimes costs more than the thing you’re trying to buy. Yay decentralization?

Shilling – Hyping up a coin/project. Could be legit... or just someone trying to dump on your face. DYOR, my friends.

Alright, that’s your starter pack, soldier. Now go forth, HODL strong, and don’t get rekt
