My Own Private glossary of Ideas and terminology

IDEAS

I've always liked coming up with terms for things. When I was a teenager my friends and I spoke our own versions of the English language with many words we learned fro other kids or ones we made up ourselves for thing in our world. It was important to know the latest vernacular in the same way it was essential to know which fashion styles were current and which music was on trend. That fills up most of a kid's time and is way more important than it should have been. It's tribal in a way. A way to bond with your mates and also a way of personalising the world. I still have nicknames for almost everyone I know, including a multitude of names for my two young daughters. The list is endless, expandable and very personal to us.

To Coin a Phrase

People always remember the person who first coined a phrase for something that becomes ubiquitous. ROBOT, came from K Capek's R.U.R (Rossum's Universal's Robots) a 1920 Czech play. The word robota was meant to define forced labour. It's changed over time but we can trace it to that very manuscript. The BlockChain will provide an accurate chain of events for future reference.

Choc-a-Block

I like the idea of coined ideas and although I can't guaranteed that every idea in this list is 100% unique to me alone, they are my expressions of my ideas and my personality. I have for example, borrowed and re-purposed Chockablock specifically for crypto and I've begun adding some crypto terms of my own. It's a new landscape with new organisms. They all need names. Feel free to start using some of mine and before you know it, everyone will think YOU are the expert. There's nothing better to blindside an expert than with a technical term; JARGON that they haven't heard of yet. I also like the coding convention of UpperCase letters in the middle of one word which would ordinarily have been TwoWords.

Clear Glass / SEE THRU

A Business model which is based on full transparency, retaining all transactions on an open ledger. A revolutionary model introduced by BlockChain technology which provides full accountability for investors, customers and audits. A new model which almost no previously existing business or organisations could manage. A future standard for public organisations, especially where taxpayer funds are used as grant or funding source for enterprise and aid

WinThree or WIN3

A triangle of mutual benefit. A model where win - win is extended to a third party or beneficiary. My favourite Win3 is the offshore windfarm. Clean energy with a carbon free pollution output. Creation of artificial reef systems providing shelter for juvenile marine creatures and a total ban on trawling / commercial fishing creates the Golden Coastline dream of scientists seeking to protect the productive Neritic Zone. I applied it to Open Source University's ambitious plan which will benefit employers, Academic Institutions and graduating students.

Cryptopreneur

A business person with a unique vision of how BlockChain can improve an existing business area. There are many at the moment competing for a slice of the next generation, tokenised internet. @ned would be a good example amongst some smart cookies with projects currently in development. A true cryptopreneur does not join the BlockChain with an existing business but starts one from scratch.

Intentional Quantum Collapse

The process of tipping the balance ever so slightly in favour of the outcome of events of a positively desired result. An inherent function of reality and consciousness, IQC is consistent with String Theory and is a skill successful people deploy, knowingly or not in all fields of human endeavour. A modicum of ICQ is almost always a deciding factor in success or failure. It is a fraction stronger in the negative as in the positive, thereby balancing out the positive outcome of competing ideas or desired actions.

The Infinite Ripple Effect

A concept which states that every thought, idea or action has an infinitely expanding and amplifying effect over time, especially in relation to human interactions. Seemingly inconsequential actions, amplify in ripples throughout time. In an infinite Universe, the effects become infinite. Be careful what you wish for.

Cryptonaut

A person who has undertook, wittingly or unwittingly, a personal journey of transformation through an active interest and involvement with the ideas and communities of Cryptocurrencies. All Steemians can be considered Cryptonauts at some level.

Chocablock

A BlockChain which suffers from congestion due to scalability issues can be considered ChocaBlock
the original phrase is a 19th century phrase from shipping pulleys (Blocks) which are pressed very close together when lifting heavy loads. (Chock)

FunfairCoin

CryptoCurrency projects which offer no inherent function and like the funfair are a cheap entertainment, waste your money for a cheap thrill and pass through town leaving little trace of their existence.
