Over the years I compiled a list of slang words to help my friends and family navigate the crypto and internet forums. This list was started around Bitcoin but expanded to apply to Altcoins and general internet related definitions
There are many Bitcoin and Altcoin Glossaries but they don't include many of the slang words we use.
Let's expand this to Steem and create a Steem Glossary for new users. I've already started compiling a list of words and phrases
I will pay a bounty of $1 SBD to every entry. Post your entry and definition below and I will compile, edit, and add to the spreadsheet. After this post is paid out, the SBD for all entries will be paid out and you will get credit for helping to put it together, users can post more than 1 entry!
Here is my Crypto Slang Dictionary: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZJxWZPGtjjjNnkklusXGrEjdxmBkb6uqsdQ3u1KbVS4/edit?usp=sharing
I found this one on the Urban Dictionary:
Paycoined
