Intro
Do you find yourself on Reddit trying to read up on some crypto threads and then getting lost by the slang? Same here.
That’s why I decided to write this article. Here are 5 common crypto slang you will encounter in the space sooner or later.
BTFD
BTFD means “buy the fucking dip”. This is a way to encourage people to buy when the price is low- aka then the market dips.
Example: The market is down, BTFD.
DYOR
DYOR means “do your own research”. This is meant to encourage people to research for themselves and come to their own conclusions on the markets. This is a common response in the oral winstrol space when people ask for advice on buying, selling, or trading.
Example: You want to know how much to invest in ethereum? You need to DYOR, it’s not for everyone.

This means “we’re going to make it” or “we are going to make it”. This is used in online trading spaces to show major good news related to their investments.
Example: Whoa, BTC looks like it’s about to reach an all-time high, WGMI!
Moonboy
Someone who gets super bullish about a project or piece of news. Then they go on to preach overzealously about pricing predictions.
Example: Bro, can you chill? ETH is not going to make it there, you’re being a total moonboy right now.
Whale
A whale is what we call large investors that influence the market. They have a lot of cryptocurrency investments across a variety of coins.
Example: Ok Google, is Elon Musk a Dogecoin Whale?
