REKT

Slang

REKT is crypto slang for being financially wrecked by a bad trade, usually through extreme losses, liquidation, or over-leverage.

Example:
A trader goes 100x long on Bitcoin at $111,500. The price dips just 1% triggering liquidation. Their position is wiped out, and they got rekt.

  • Diamond Hands

    Diamond hands is a slang term used in crypto communities to describe investors who hold onto their assets through extreme volatility without selling. It conveys confidence and resilience, though in practice it can either lead to massive profits or significant losses depending on market outcomes.

  • HODL

    HODL is a slang term in crypto culture that means holding onto your crypto assets long-term instead of selling, especially during market dips. Originally a typo for “hold” in a Bitcoin forum post, it has since become a rallying cry for long-term investors who believe in the future value of their coins despite volatility.
