CRYPTO LINGO - Know the terms used in the crypto space.
One day I decided I would become a cryptocurrency day trader. In that quest, I joined a trading chat room on Telegram.
There, I was surprised to see that I was not able to understand any of their conversations. The people inside this chat were using jargons and terminologies that I hadn’t ever heard anywhere else in my life.
I looked in my Oxford dictionary and couldn’t find any of these words! Then I asked my good friend Google…
From there, I learned about all these terms, and I was finally able to understand the conversations in the Telegram group.
But if you are also new to Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency space, you may not know what any of these things mean.
Am I right?
Here are some of the terms explained.
🔵#ALTCOIN = Any crypto currency other than bitcoin.
🔵#ASHDRAKED = A situation where you lost all your money.
🔵#BAGHOLDER = A person who buys and hold coins in large quantity hoping to make good profits in the future.

🔵#DUMP = To Sell off a coin
🔵#DUMPING = Downward price movement
🔵#DYOR = Do Your Own Research

🔵#FOMO = Fear Of Missing Out (A coin is pumping and you get the feeling it's gonna pump more, so you buy high)
🔵#FUD = Fear Uncertainty & Doubt
🔵#HODL = Hold/Hold a position
🔵#JOMO = Joy Of Missing Out
🔵#LONG = Margin bull position
🔵#MCAP = Market Capitalization
🔵#MOON = Continuous upward movement of price
🔵#OTC = Over The Counter

Difficult to understand those jawbreakers. Anyway I will learn gradually Kkkkkk.
Very cool @Tinashe, Great minds think alike. People keep asking what the terms mean.
Thanks for giving us the definition of those terms.
There are many posts that I read here only and I usually skip those terms XD
Now I would understand those posts and traders conversation better.
Thanks for sharing :)
