Tagged Crypto

The Crypto tag covers Bitcoin- and DeFi-era vocabulary, much of it deliberately self-mocking: hodl, to the moon, diamond hands, fud, lfg, ser, fren, rug pull. The vocabulary is half-irony, half-earnest: terms like "ser" and "fren" function as in-group shibboleths while also signalling that everyone involved knows it is a bit of a joke. Mainstream English absorbed hodl, diamond hands, and rug pull during the 2021 cycle; most other entries remain crypto-Twitter-coded. Notable: hodl, to the moon, diamond hands, fud, lfg, rug pull.
