we're going to be looking at some crypto
[76]
news and headlines which use some of the
[78]
terms i want to present to you
[79]
and i will be explaining them as they
[81]
show up so let's get started
[83]
please take your seats as this lecture
[85]
is about to begin don't fall asleep
[87]
the first term you might have heard a
[88]
lot when it comes to crypto
[90]
is whales huh obviously
[94]
they're not referring to those majestic
[95]
animals that live in the sea but are a
[97]
reference to size
[99]
just like the animals huge crypto whales
[101]
are big players who have an incredible
[102]
amount of capital
[104]
being able to impact the market in a big
[106]
way when they make moves
[108]
when whales move in the sea or the
[110]
crypto market
[111]
everything around them moves as well the
[113]
smaller the project is when a whale is
[115]
operating
[116]
the bigger the impact its movements will
[118]
have icos is a term that most crypto
[120]
traders
[121]
start hating around 2017 and 2018.
[124]
ico stands for initial coin offering a
[127]
type of crowdfunding in which coins were
[129]
offered
[129]
in exchange for fiat or more established
[132]
cryptocurrencies like
[133]
ethereum or bitcoin the reason for the
[136]
distrust and hate towards icos
[138]
was the number of scams that started
[139]
showing up at a certain point
[141]
scammers would start in ico for projects
[143]
they never had any intentions of working
[145]
on
[146]
and had not even started developing
[148]
disappearing when they got the money
[150]
from
[150]
investors and if they did deliver the
[153]
project was not always what was promised
[156]
oh polka dot such a good project i
[158]
covered this project back on august 18th
[159]
and look at it now
[160]
growing as i expected i'm so proud of it
[162]
i could almost cry
[164]
anyway let's talk about circulating
[165]
supply which as you can see had a lot to
[167]
do with polka dot success
[168]
this concept is pretty easy and at the
[170]
same time super important in crypto
[172]
this is the number of tokens or coins
[174]
that are circulating at any given time
[176]
i'm sure you guessed that from the name
[179]
however
[179]
i have seen people confusing the terms
[182]
circulating
[183]
and total supply the circulating supply
[185]
are the coins that are available to the
[186]
public at any given moment
[188]
which is the result of the following
[189]
calculation circulating supply equals
[192]
total supply
[193]
minus team tokens minus foundation
[195]
tokens minus lock tokens
[198]
circulating supply is used to calculate
[200]
the market capitalization
[201]
of a cryptocurrency which is the result
[204]
of the circulating supply
[205]
multiplied by the value of the token you
[207]
guys love math
[209]
market capitalization is an indicator of
[211]
the value of a project
[212]
which is the attribute used to rank
[214]
crypto projects by
[215]
most sites litecoin gecko and coin
[218]
market cap
[219]
ah fomo and jomo two abbreviations that
[221]
define two of the most common emotional
[223]
states
[224]
for crypto investors these abbreviations
[226]
stay for fear of missing out and
[228]
joy of missing out the first one is the
[230]
feeling an investor gets
[231]
when the price of a coin is super
[233]
bullish which means it is going
[235]
upwards and they quickly jump into the
[237]
wagon expecting to make returns
[239]
and not missing out on the opportunity
[241]
some investors consolidate assets
[243]
to jump in or just invest money they
[245]
wouldn't have
[246]
otherwise this may pay out or go wrong
[249]
joy of missing out on the other hand is
[251]
that relief that those
[253]
who didn't jump in feel when they see
[255]
the price of the project
[256]
dropped a bridge version fomo is what
[258]
made people buy bitcoin a few days
[260]
before december 16th
[261]
2017 when it reached its all-time high
[264]
jomo is what people who didn't buy
[265]
bitcoin in those days
[267]
felt on december 17th when the value
[268]
dropped
[270]
pump and dump a term that trolls love
[272]
using in the comments section of this
[274]
channel
[274]
pumping up is the act of boosting a
[276]
coins price by talking about it
[278]
trying to sell it to other people a
[280]
thing that is easy
[281]
or big personalities like dave portnoy
[283]
to do because of their big followings
[285]
you basically say
[286]
great and exaggerated things about a
[288]
project and promise people it would be
[290]
mooning soon
[291]
something known as shilling then when
[293]
the price of the coin goes up as your
[294]
followers start buying it boom
[296]
you sell the coins you had bought at a
[298]
cheap price before recommending them
[300]
and then you sell them at a higher price
[302]
the crappier the projects the easier the
[304]
technique is for people doing this
[305]
which is not a nice thing to do if you
[307]
ask me now this one is pretty simple
[309]
all coins are basically every other
[311]
cryptocurrency that is not
[313]
bitcoin decentralized exchanges or dexes
[316]
is a cryptocurrency exchange that is now
[318]
operated by an individual or a group
[320]
that operates as a central authority
[322]
this is the opposite of
[324]
binance kucoin or coinbase decentralized
[327]
exchanges like uniswap
[328]
work without a central authority by
[330]
facilitating trades via automation
[332]
and liquidity pools now this is a good
[334]
opportunity to explain
[336]
what a liquidity pool is and please
[338]
don't be the guy who says
[340]
liquid have water after all okay the dad
[343]
jokes
[344]
are my jokes okay you stay away from
[345]
them a liquidity pool is a pool of
[347]
tokens
[347]
that's been locked in smart contracts to
[350]
facilitate trading
[351]
by providing liquidity these rules are
[354]
filled by investors
[355]
who earn rewards by locking tokens into
[358]
the pool the rc20 is a term you will see
[360]
pretty regularly in white papers
[362]
wallets crypto product descriptions news
[364]
and exchanges
[365]
erc20 is a type of token hosted on the
[368]
ethereum blockchain
[369]
erc20 stands for ethereum request for
[372]
comments
[373]
which represents the standards for a
[374]
valid token in the network
[376]
for all intents and purposes erc20 means
[379]
that the token is part of the ethereum
[381]
network
[381]
the term gas is usually used when
[383]
referring to the ethereum network in
[384]
particular
[385]
gas refers to the fee that users need to
[387]
pay to start transactions in the network
[389]
which is paid in ether by charging these
[392]
fees the network ensures that the
[393]
transactions can be validated
[395]
by rewarding those nodes who work on
[397]
keeping the network running
[399]
now as you can see in this headline
[401]
ethereum's gas prices have become a
[403]
big issue in recent months as the cost
[405]
of operating in it
[406]
has skyrocketed no news article for this
[409]
one
[410]
huddle is one of the most well-known and
[412]
beloved terms
[413]
when it comes to crypto investing the
[416]
term is a misspelling of
[418]
hold to gain popularity in a crypto
[420]
forum when a drunk user wrote
[422]
an extremely emotional and eye-watering
[424]
post
[425]
on how he would be huddling his beloved
[427]
bitcoin the term has its own manifesto
[430]
and everything
[431]
you really check it out i just wanted to
[432]
say that most of the people made fun of
[434]
this guy for his drunk post
[436]
but hey back then btc was valued at less
[439]
than 1k
[440]
if the guy did indeed huddle he's
[442]
probably swimming
[443]
like scrooge mcduck so let's talk about
[446]
mooning no
[447]
not that type of mooning guys this is a
[449]
family-friendly channel
[450]
i'm talking about a crypto term
[452]
referring to a coin's value
[454]
rising to the moon as if it was a rocket
[456]
a coin that is mooning is not just a
[458]
coin
[458]
it's increasing in value constantly but
[460]
a really sharp increase in value
[463]
any reference to the moon and crypto
[464]
means the project is having a moment of
[466]
great success
[467]
to the moon moonshot and other similar
[469]
expressions should be something you
[470]
should keep an eye on
[471]
especially if it's in the title of my
[473]
video
[475]
