Beginners guide to Cryptocurrency shortforms!
Dear steemit friends,
I know ! another post about cryptocurrency.. It's also because my life recently has been pretty much about this and I have to put on hold about travel for a while as of now.
Anyway, I want to share with you guys too many things but the time is not enough to write.
Since last night, Etherdelta, one of the platforms to buy etherum tokens was hacked until now there seem to be no further updates. I have a few coins and tokens and I have no idea what to do about that.. Anyways. Will update you about that on another post and explain what is etherdelta. It seem like there is another day , another hack in crypto world!
But for Today, I bring you some of the terms that are used quite often around here..
FUD =Fear,Uncertainty, and Doubt. Propaganda to lower prices.
FOMO= Fear of Missing Out.
HODL = Someone spelled HOLD wrong on a forum.
MOONING = Price going up extremely high.
FIAT = Government-issued currency, such as the US dollar.
WHALE= Someone who owns lots of crypto.
BULLISH = an expectation that price is going to increase.
BEARISH= An expectation that price is going to decrease.
ATH = All-Time-High. The highest price a coin have ever been.
MARKET CAP= Total Supply at Current Price
ICO= Initial Coin Offering.A type of Crowd-funding
ROI= Return on investment. Gains - Initial Investment.

BlockChain Distributed ledgers.= Public databases that everyone can access and read.but the data can only be updated by the data owners.Data is copied across thousands and thousands of computers (nodes)worldwide.
