After spending enough time in the crypto space, you’ll realize some things people say are meant to be understood in reverse.

Let’s start with DYOR—Do Your Own Research. Sounds super responsible, right? In reality, it’s just passing the buck: “Anyway, I told you to do your own research, so don’t come crying to me if you lose money.” When something goes to zero, you can only blame yourself for not doing your homework.

Then there’s NFA, Not Financial Advice. This is the ultimate disclaimer. Before someone tells you to go all-in on some random meme coin, they’ll throw in an NFA. By the time you’ve lost your shirt, their cartoon avatar has already been swapped out for a new one.

HODL is even more ridiculous. It’s just a typo of “Hold,” but it’s been rebranded as “Hold On for Dear Life”—never sell, no matter what! 💎🙌 The problem is, this is basically a zero-sum game. If you never sell, how else can others get the money out of your pocket?

“Wait for a safe entry point” is another classic. If the price goes up, the guru’s call was spot-on; if it drops, it’s your fault for not entering at that “subjective” safe spot. The blame-shifting is so impressive, even physics would be jealous.

Up only? Prices only go up? Anyone with a shred of common sense knows that’s nonsense. But people still buy it. Don’t worry, crashes never miss their cue—they’re just sometimes fashionably late. 🚀💥

To the moon is a timeless one—next 100x coin! But 99.9% of the time, the rocket burns out before it even leaves the atmosphere. Houston, we have a problem: the money’s gone.

Finally, Buy the dip—catching the bottom. Sounds like you’re picking up bargains, but in reality, you’re catching falling knives 🔪. “Let’s ape in, bros!” Translated: “Come hold the bags… I mean, get on board!”

So next time you see this kind of crypto lingo, think twice. In crypto, there are no tears—only whether you’ve still got money left in your pocket.
