Welcome to the first edition of Crypto-Slang for Super noobs ala Snekky!
Ever had those moments when you find yourself in a conversation, and people start to throw with terms or words you seriously don't understand?
You know those weird moments when you nod yes and mean no? Those moments when you feel like a total lost cause and want burry yourself in a deep hole and never show your face again! Those moments when you wish you had a Taurus in your pocket or even better in your brain. Those moments when you say: "Uhu, uhu Oooohhh yessss, God yesssss No...I have no clue!
Ever since I joined Steemit, I had moments like this! For the longest time, I joined chats and hangouts on Discord and felt like I just entered HELL for Super noobs! Not because of the people! No, no... They were all amazing and super helpful, but the words they were throwing into the air made my ears shiver with fear! And trust me that looks rather weird!
Ever watched a person trying to fly with their ears? Because that was how I looked with my flapping and shivering ears. Not only did my ears want to escape, so did I. Fear wrapped around my throat, heart beating in my chest and I knew I had to leave!
BUT...Instead of leaving the room and finding a talk I could seriously understand I staid, and I did something even worse! I started to throw in my own slang to confuse myself even more while those sweet people started to talk to me even more and I ended up saying "Yes! Oh my God Yes and Uhu, Uhu, awful indeed, Oh gosh yes" While I started to cry a little inside, my heart now beating in my brain and my ears still flapping like they were the biggest wings ever.
TIME TO LEARN CRYPTO-SLANG
And to help out all the other Super noobs I am sharing a few of the terms in this post.
!Crypto-slang for Super Noobs
HODL
HODL is a weird word, and it confused me a lot! When I was told it meant Hold on for dear life I made the mistake to wrap myself tightly around someone and trust me, when I hold on, I hold on! Dragged across a room, over the floor... Never make that mistake when someone says the word Hodl. You see, this term means holding on to your coins because you don't see yourself selling them anytime soon. Fun fact: Hodl started after poor soul made a misspelling during the huge crash in 2013! This person wanted to write hold but I guess he or she was so nervous or typing super duper fast that it spelled hodl. People liked it so much that it became a well known and used word in the crypto world!.
FOMO
Fomo is not to be confused with Fimo clay or foaming at the mouth. While FOMO sounds like a comfortable pillow, you want to hug you might want to reconsider. Fomo means; Fear of missing out! A FOMO moment could be you spotting a coin you have no clue about, but because the chart shows green and a nice high peak you start to shiver and shake, sweat might break out and drip down your pants. You sell a big part of the coins you already have only to quickly buy the coin you saw! Emotion trading......The fear of missing out!
FUD
When I heard the word FUD my mouth started to Foam ( Not to be confused with FOMO) and I saw this perfect image of a soft caramel brown fudge floating before my eyes. Hunger and greed kicked in because I had no fudge and I wanted to have fudge! It turned out, FUD had nothing to do with candy! I'll be darned! Just when I thought there was food or at least candy in the crypto world. After a whole week of sobbing, I learned that FUD means: fear, uncertainty, and doubt’. There are some BAD people out there who want to spread this FEAR by saying Bitcoin is a scam or Crypto is for bad people on craigslist. Well, they at least made me have a FUD moment when I feared I would never eat a fudge again....
MOONING
I was pleasantly surprised that there are people who do mooning in the crypto world. When heard there was about to get some mooning done, I grabbed a bag of chips and sat down ready to watch some naked asses being thrown my way! Mooning is cool and can be cold indeed BUT.... In the Crypto world it means something else. Sad, tears, ate the whole bag of chips just to feel better. No nekked flesh, nor funny moments when you get a nice close up of that one ass you wanted.... There are no buttcheeks involved! Nevermind. Mooning on the Crypto planet means that a coin is having an explosive increase in value! The coin is going to the moon! I prefer buttcheeks but who am I right?
Thank you for reading my post!
I am not an expert and you should always do your own research!
Have a marvelous day and don't forget to smile
Best wishes

Great way to go Poetic with this cryptoslangs, I was always misconstrued with the hodl , always had this urge to say, hey check your spelling you made a mistake trying to spell hold, 😂😂😂.
Glad I came across this wonderful piece which has helped me learn about the crypto world and its term.
Thanks for educating me on this, I can now hodl my coins in the hope they start mooning soon enough.

Super important topic..... We were just talking about this last night lol!
I’m most impressed with how you presented it. The artwork for the cover is mind blowing!
The snake representing a question mark is exquisite. You’re sooooooo creative.
And your descriptions about each term were informative and very funny! 👍🏾
Can’t wait for lesson 2! 👌🏾

nice use of words...glad that i had this upvoted...have a great day
Tons of jargon to learn when coming over to the crypto world! Thanks for informing the noobs :)
Hahahahahahahaha it's damn true and funny, actually my first week went exactly in the very same way here on steemit
Oh the great soul @poeticsnake you always make me laugh through your words :P
Hahaha.Nice post.White peoples problems..
Thanks for the great list Miss Snek, I found it quite informative. I only learned about HODL yesterday. Of course, I made the mistake of embarrassing myself with its usage first, before someone told me it was an acronym. 25 years old and already acting like the old man I feel inside, damn kids these days with their short words!
great post. i hope i dont FOMO to much time. i FUD that it helps me to concentrate while i HODL all my thoughts reading my feed ;-)

Hehehehehe. All of these things I also learned in the last 4 months.
Newbie dictionary to crypto, never a bad idea. We all started somewhere!
Thanks for breaking this down. It took a while before I understood these words.
congratulations bro your post has been selected post of the day, and amazing sharing post, thanks a lot bro, good keep it up
Congrats on post of the day! I know that feeling and it's pretty darn good.
A wonderful article, full of humor and knowledge, the very best combination. In another world of innerwebs is 'pwn' as in "We pwn them" Some poor soul was trying to say 'own' and got his little finger off one place. It's never been forgotten and I always hodl on to it :)
Thanks for a great post!
these days , I am feeling such moments dear,
Personally, I think the 'old world' version of mooning is a lot more fun...but the crypto version is certainly a lot more profitable.
