A Comprehensive Definition of Cryptocurrency Terms

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

There are so many investors who have been in this industry for years, yet they have little or limited knowledge of various cryptocurrency terms. This is the reason why I created this Glossary: to be the go-to platform for all definitions of Cryptocurrency Terms

The platform is still in alpha stage, and so far, we have already included the first 50 terms, and there will be hundreds or thousands more coming

Cryptocurrency terms are so vast, and the numbers keep going because as the technology moves forward, new terms, slang, and labels are created, so we will list and explore these new terms.

We will keep adding old and new terms; I just hope I can keep up and still be here when new popular terms come out.  

Disclosure: AI was used to assist in developing this glossary, which was reviewed by humans.

I just skimmed through the wallet part, I think it needs more explanation like types of hot/online wallet and cold/offline wallets. It will be good if you also use the term offline and online.

There is also this part of it:

What it really does is hold the keys that give you access to your crypto on the blockchain. These keys are basically super-long secret passwords that prove you own your digital assets. Lose these keys, and your crypto is gone forever – like dropping your wallet in a black hole.

Do not call the keys a password, they are just called keys. Private keys precisely.

That thread was in Service Announcements board and it is not self-moderated like this one.

But duplicating is not allowed, robelno can decided to use one of two threads, and lock another one.

12. No duplicate posting in multiple boards (except for re-posting topics in the local language boards if they're translated and re-posting marketplace topics in the altcoin boards if altcoins are accepted).

I like the look of the site; the color scheme is pleasing to the eye, making it easy to read. However, it seems like your site still needs improvement, especially with the page numbering (I can't see it). Additionally, I think you could add references, or sources for each term. Because, this would help readers verify further information and make it easier to dig deeper. I hope the development will be better soon, so that it can make it easier for anyone to understand many terms in crypto.

By the way, the second link in the title above isn't working. I don't know if you did it on purpose or not, but I just wanted to let you know.

Your idea is not bad but the thing is most people don't read content outside forum so when someone need to learn something they will ask in forum or ask AI, but Newbies don't know what to learn or where to start so structure content like your is really helpful for them.

I hope you will only include essential topics to your glossary not just some random crypto related Terms. A focused glossary with genuinely useful information will be much more valuable to readers.

[Rashlyowl]

As you said, there are many terms that haven't been included there yet. At first, I thought you had included everything you had in mind, but it turns out there is still much more to come. I have a suggestion for that site bros @robelneo, BTC & altcoins do not share the same terms, It would be better if your site had dedicated pages for each coin & token, but general terms should still be included.

Yes, I locked it now; just waiting for some people I tagged to drop lines, and I got 2 of them, so it's locked now.

That's not true; the crypto space is so huge that there are so many platforms for people to look and the main one is the search engine, and hopefully I get to rank many of the terms here.

I am not aware of that, and have fixed it. Thank you for letting me know; you are good with details and yes I have changed the prompt to include citations or resources. Check my new entry Yield Farming

Yes, I locked it now, and this is the official announcement of Cryptocurrencyterms.com. Thanks for reminding me.

My only wish is that this thread remains here in Beginners & Help, to reach many new users

Cryptocurrency terms of the day

Yield farming is basically putting your crypto to work so it generates more crypto while you sleep.
Here’s how it actually works: You take your crypto tokens and lock them into something called a liquidity pool on a decentralized exchange (like Uniswap or SushiSwap). These pools need liquidity so people can trade between different tokens. By providing your tokens, you’re essentially becoming the bank – and just like banks, you earn fees and rewards.

Good work. Just like you have said that the work is in the alpha stage. I checked through it and I discovered that some letters are yet to be added like the letter, O, Q, U and Z. You can get more terms from coingecko https://www.coingecko.com/en/glossary which would help you with more and more terms.

I like the UI, very friendly and attractive to readers. The arrangement is also good also with the colouration. Good one there.

[Asiska02]

I just went through the site, I will commend you for the hardwork you’ve put into it. I thought I was going to see more words there than what I saw there even though you said you’re still adding new words. The pop out explanation just by touching the word is really impressive, thumbs up for that.

There is a popular word I found missing and it is used mostly in crypto, maybe you skipped it. The word FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) has been mostly used to send fake rumour to trigger the minds of investors, sometimes positively or negatively to the advantage of the person spreading it. The word is used in crypto more than it is used anywhere, why not add it up amongst those words in letter F.

[IjawMan]

Smooth theme and I love the concept too.
Suggestion: On opening the site it is ads I glanced first at before seeing what originally took me to the site. Do you mind taking the ads to the bottom of the site instead. Having it at the top may give different readers different impression of what it seems like the author of the work priorities most.

J, K, T, X letters are also missing in the index. It may have been done deliberately since their terms is yet to be covered. The op should prioritise filing the gaps as fast as he can to reflect part of  the title "comprehensive" when visitors visit the site.

For quick improvement, the next and previous buttons doesn't work serially.

I was at Atomic Swap page, after clicking the next button, was hoping to see the Altcoin page but it took me to Rug Pull.

Let m know if this was done intentional or minor error you haven't paid attention to.

[knowngunman]

A great resource, I commend your effort.

Like you said, I can see the project is still at early stage far from being complete. Some people might come across the site not from this forum, the name shows "Comprehensive" and people will expect much more than what you have their. You stated it here the work is still in progress, I think you should also state it in the platform that the work is still on progress so they won't feel disappointed. I mean for people that find their way to the platform but not through forum.

Additionally, the UI looks great but it's not mobile friendly. At my current location, the network is poor, I had to wait a bit just to open a page. I suggest you make it expandable and collapsible instead of opening a new page when you click on a term.

Many of the terms are in draft and ready to be posted. I already have a very long list; the hardest part is verifying

It loads fast here on my end. I will analyze how it loads on mobile and add plugins to speed it up; this is why I did not include images for faster loading.

Good observation; the theme has limitation but I can do things manually. I'm thinking if it should be similar terms or the next term on the same letter.

Thanks to everyone who suggested there's a lot of work ahead, but its worth it.

There are so many investors who have been in this industry for years, yet they have little or limited knowledge of various cryptocurrency terms.

That's true and I trust we're many. Yes I'm that crypto enthusiast that's addicted to bitcoin and knows lesser of the AltCoins.
No user that knows all about the entire crypto currencies, we're all limited to acknowledge as much we're interested about which determines its potential assets and utility values like bitcoin.
Bitcoin is also only one crypto currency that when you adopts it in your crypto journey, you'd really seem to have it all because bitcoin is currently trading more valuable than the rest.

[Pmalek]

Since this is still work-in-progress, it makes no sense to comment on the amount of terms. You will add new ones with time. I did find it funny when I saw Vitalik Buterin in the list and have to ask, why him and no other names (besides satoshi)? Charlie Lee invented Litecoin and there are many other personalities more closely associated with Bitcoin.

The table layout is somewhat messed up. Take a look at the image below. Those brackets on the left are also links to the Priamex ad above it.

cool project. since youre still filling gaps, a few AML/compliance terms i noticed are missing that come up a lot in exchange/regulatory discussions:

- travel rule (requirement for exchanges to share sender/receiver info on transfers above a threshold)
- CASP (crypto-asset service provider, the EU MiCA term for licensed exchanges)
- extended public key / xpub (lets a platform derive unique deposit addresses per user without holding private keys)
- transaction monitoring (flagging transactions based on behavior patterns, seperate from KYC which is about identity)
- chain analysis (tracing fund flows onchain to assess risk)

might be worth adding since newer users mixing these up with KYC is pretty common (they sound similar but are different layers)

but to sum up, i fw it

Yes, that way you can share that knowledge with the only group that is a perfect fit for all of this. Another piece of suggestion for you bros @robelneo, don't forget to set up the important widgets for the site. Currently, only Facebook is included in the widgets with default hyperlink. In my opinion, important widgets like Bitcointalk & Telegram should be there as well.

(1) Bitcointalk: I don't have any specific ideas about this, but it would certainly be better if we had a link to this thread on the site.

(2) Telegram: Once everything is ready & you can certainly skip some of those technical terms, connect the site to your Telegram account so that people outside the forum can easily provide feedback or suggestions. Having a direct link to your Telegram account will also make it easier for advertisers to contact you.

Lined up to be added and gathering all the best information, you are right beside the terms. I should also be focusing on the personality behind the crypto space.

The table layout is somewhat messed up. Take a look at the image below. Those brackets on the left are also links to the Priamex ad above it.

One of the best pieces of feedback I've had since the campaign ended. I have taken down the ads, but I'm looking for ways to keep them from interfering again if I add a banner again.

So far, 53 terms, and this week we'll have over 100 terms.
