In this part we will talk about Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin and their many dubious claimants and mimics

In Part I we asked if terms like GM, GN, WAGMI etc. sounded familiar. In this part we discuss crypto-speak and memes. Their roots, meanings and contexts.

Continued from Part I – Bitcoin v/s Ethereum (and Other Crypto) Culture

GM, GN, WAGMI, HODL, DYOR, probably nothing, ser – do these terms sound familiar? They are part of an ever-growing thesaurus of crypto-speak. A lexicon that the skeptic’s guide to crypto says is reflective of a cult. And not in a good way. Like Jonestown.

Sir, congratulations again on the work anniversary! Privileged to have taken your course, Prof. Thank you. You taught us to read more and explore with an open mind. Over the last few years, I have tried to do just that. And it has led me to the wonderful world of Web3. Hence, after reading your opinion piece about cryptocurrencies, I felt slightly troubled. Unfortunately, I cannot agree with some of the views stated there. Full Disclosure: I am an advisor for several crypto projects. I also moderate/manage communities for many. Plus, I write for multiple projects as well. Currently, I am also looking at becoming a member in several DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations). Please bear with me as I share some counter arguments.

Well there’s always Minecraft, Roblox and Second Life. So, what’s missing?
