A must-read for newcomers entering the crypto space, or you'll really get beaten up. Honestly, if you don't understand these terms, don't just talk nonsense. Asking around everywhere is really embarrassing. Got it, now I can finally discuss with the older brothers without being laughed at. Sharing with my group of friends who always ask "What is that," you're my savior. This needs to be bookmarked so I don't get stuck again in the group chat someday. Actually, most people gradually understand these memes by hanging out on forums. It looks simple, but there are indeed people who ask these kinds of questions every day in the group.

According to data, beginners' mastery of terminology is positively correlated with their survival rate in the market—specifically, new traders unfamiliar with industry jargon tend to experience a 20-30% loss of funds within three months due to information lag. It is worth noting that although this article covers a wide range of topics, it lacks risk warnings regarding the practical application scenarios of various terms. It is recommended to understand them together with on-chain data for a more reliable analysis.

Haha, this article came just in time. My new rookie friends keep asking me about terminology and such all day long. Just for this title, I need to save it so I don't have to explain every time. After reading for so long, I finally整理出来. Getting these terms earlier would definitely have saved me some detours. Some friends are still using unprofessional terms, now I can finally call them out haha. I just remembered, I was really confused when I first heard others discussing this, and now I feel confident enough to teach others.
