2) Block chain

Blockchain, not block chain.

7) GAS: A fee for validating a transaction

Transaction fee has no name called, you are specifically talking about ethereum and ethereum tokens which gas is the fee used to send such tokens.

DeFi, CeFi, Gas and NFTs are all in the altcoins category.

Eight terms you published here is not enough for successful traveling over uncharted territory of crypto. A few months ago I have created  Bitcoin&Crypto vocabulary thread that contains a list with references to sites where one can find out plenty of helpful terms. In addition everyone  can check  his knowledge    by solving soliton's Bitcoin Crosswords.

2) Block chain

Blockchain, not block chain.

Actually, satoshi himself used the term "block chain" but later widely used and accepted by users as "blockchain".
He still used the term in last post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3;sa=showPosts

IMO, either is acceptable.

That's true, he did. When I went through Satoshi's posts to write My investigation on satoshi, I found numerous examples where he referred to the chain of blocks as "block chain" and not "blockchain". He also used the terms "inpoints" and "outpoints" when talking about "inputs" and "outputs", and that is not something I have seen anyone else do from what I can remember.

This is what I was thinking too, afaik gas is terminology exclusive to the ethereum blockchain to mean transaction fees, it's not like we can use to me TX fees on any other blockchain.

I think both are acceptable depending on how it's used but blockchain sounds more appealing and acceptable!

Btw were does "block-chain" find itself in all this?

Block chain sounds more appealing to me because it sounds unique and peculiar to the only Bitcoin which was the original first user of the now blockchain.
