These six expressions pop up constantly in trading chats and project communities. Knowing them means you won't have to awkwardly google mid-conversation or pretend you understand what everyone's laughing about.
Whether you're just starting out or helping someone navigate this space, mastering the lingo matters. Not just for fitting in—but because half the alpha gets shared in language that sounds like gibberish to outsiders.
Which crypto term confused you the most when you first heard it?

When I first entered the circle, I was overwhelmed by the terminology; now I laugh at this kind of popular science.

I was directly confused the first time I heard HODL, thinking it was some kind of slang.

Honestly, what I fear the most is when someone in the group suddenly asks me if I understand a certain word, and then I have to pretend to suddenly realize... It's much better now, haha.

Oh my, that's right! When I first entered the circle, I was completely confused when I heard people shouting "pump"; I thought they were talking about fitness, haha.
