You may have seen #btc enthusiasts on socialmedia say something like, “Don’t listen to FUD, just HODL your bitcoin and head to the moon,” So what does that mean? in crypto many people saying slang words like hodl, fud, moon etc

1. HODL

Example: “Stay strong, HODL even when the price drops.”

In early bitcoin forums, someone posted a message that spelled the word “hold” wrong, and readers interpreted it as an acronym “hold on for dear life,” 

2. FUD

Example: “If someone tells you #binance is a bubble, they just have FUD.”

This one is simple, Saddington says. FUD means “fear, uncertainty and doubt.” 

3. Whale

Example: “There must be a whale behind this coin’s movement.”

“A whale is someone who owns a lot of cryptocurrency,” 

4. Pump and dump

Example: “This coin’s chart looks like it was a pump and dump.”

“Pump and dumpers are people who often say, ‘Hey, let’s all of us together pump this coin,’ which means buy the coin, create the demand in the market, the coin will go up in value,”
