- To The Moon - see a large increase in the price of the token. For example, from $ 0.1 to $ 1
- Lambo/ When Lambo? - Earn from selling token a million or more and buy Lamborghini, the token must fly to the moon. (joke)
- Fiat - This is your national currency, which you use in real life. Dollar, euro, other currencies
-Pump & Dump - This is a fraud. Just stay away from it.
-Airdrops - Free distribution of tokens. In order to receive an airdrop, you need to register on the company's website, which distributes its own coins for free. Profit is from $ 0.2 to $ 35 for registration.

hold is an appeal to resist not to sell it first
exchange means the exchange market mostly discusses the new token and many people ask about the location of the exchange market

I'll to give small explanations in addition to what they mean:

-Blockchain/Blockchain Technology = The underlying technology of crypto.  By solving complex math problems you are rewarded with some coin and a block (like an ledger that anyone can see) is created.
-Cryptocurrency = The general term for all digital currency
-Airdrops = Companies will sometimes give out free coins as promotions or rewards.
-Bounties = You get rewarded with coins for helping advertise their company
-HODL = Keep you coins.  Don't sell, trade or move them.
-Pump & Dump = An evil tactic where a large amount of people pool together resources to artificially increase the price of a coin to make profit then sell it off
-To The Moon = A coin has or will increase in value 100%, 500%, or even 1000%!
-Exchanges = Places to trade your crypto
-FUD = Fear, uncertainty and doubt.  Sometimes people will try to shake investors confidence in a coin to get them to sell it.  This will drive the price down so they can snatch up cheaper.
-Fiat = "Normal Money" (usd, euro, pound sterling, etc.)
-Wallets = The place where you "store" your crypto.  There are many kinds, hardware wallets, mobile wallets, paper wallets, web based.
