你能像專家一樣討論虛擬貨幣嗎？
雙語文章
本文摘自瑞訊銀行官方網站，原文標題《Cryptocurrencies: can you talk the talk? Having trouble keeping up with the latest cryptocurrency lingo? Here's a crach course.》。
ALL-IN（梭哈）
Investing all your money in a single, highly promising currency. An extremely risky move, but sometimes undertaken by investors on the forums: many people have claimed to have gone “all-in on ether” recently.
梭哈就是指把本金全部投入。
ALTCOIN
Abbreviation for “alternative coin”. This term refers to any cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. There are roughly 1,500 to date.
除了比特幣，其他幣都可以叫Altcoin，很多人喜歡叫山寨幣，但是，像ETH、eos這些屬於Altcoin，不屬於山寨幣。
ATH(歷史新高)
The highest value ever reached by a cryptocurrency. Buying at the ATH (all-time high) is a bad idea, with potentially disastrous consequences. Case in point: the widespread drop in prices in January after the ATH in December.
這意味著某種加密貨幣的價格已經打破了過去的所有記錄，並以最高的價格進行交易。
DIP
Drop in price after a sharp increase. A dip is often a great time to buy. Just remember: BTFD (buy the f****ing dip).
DUMP
Sharp drop in the value of a cryptocurrency. Dumps are frequent in this highly volatile market.
FIAT（法幣）
Refers to standard paper money (dollar, euro, etc.).
FOMO
Acronym for fear of missing out. This form of anxiety is common nowadays and has been known to drive people to make impulsive investment decisions, particularly buying high.
害怕錯過什麼。這意味著害怕錯過可能由投資或決定帶來的利潤。Wiki定義-無時無刻不擔心，其他人有可能獲利的時候，唯獨自己缺席了 。
FORK
The fork is a change in the rules governing a cryptocurrency. A minor, backward-compatible change is called a soft fork. A major change that’s not compatible with older software is called a hard fork. For instance, bitcoin cash is a result of a hard fork of bitcoin
FUD
Acronym for fear, uncertainty and doubt. This famous rhetorical technique consists of spreading negative information about a product to influence other people. This form of propaganda is particularly common on cryptocurrency forums.
恐懼，不確定和懷疑(Fear, uncertainty, and doubt)。這個術語通常是指不確定潛在的情況的投資者。
HOLD
This term is commonly used by traders. It refers to a strategy where the investor holds a position – in this case, a cryptocurrency – for a long time without worrying about short-term price fluctuations. “Holders” need to be calm and patient, unlike “scalpers” (see below). The variant “Hodl” is also widely used. This term first appeared in a hilarious message posted by an irate – and much inebriated – investor on an online forum in 2013. He made the typo (hodl) while writing an angry message after the sudden drop in the price of bitcoin.
“HODL”這個詞在2013年首次出現在比特幣對話話論壇上，來自一個名為GameKyuubi的用戶，名為“我是HODLING”。從帖子的內容來看起來，他喝醉了，並且想說一件事，就是他正在拿穩(HOLD)他的BTC，儘管剛剛發生了嚴重的幣價下跌。從那以後，這個拼寫錯誤的術語在比特幣和加密貨幣世界變得非常流行。當一個人在聊天中說他正在hodl，或者建議hodl時，就意味著他們相信他們的硬幣有一天會盈利，哪怕不是今天。所以基本上，“HODL”原本是一個錯字，但現在它已經廣泛取得了一個幽默簡稱意涵
ICO
Abbreviation for initial coin offering. This method of raising funds, similar to an IPO, is used when a new cryptocurrency is launched. In an ICO, investors are issued digital tokens.
源自股票市場的首次公開發行（IPO）概念，是區塊鏈項目以自身發行的虛擬貨幣，換取市場流通常用的虛擬貨幣的融資行為。
LAMBO
This term has become an internet meme. Many cryptocurrency fans like to say – some more jokingly than others – that they’ll buy a Lamborghini once they strike it rich.
PANIC SELL
An impulsive decision to sell your cryptocurrency after a sharp drop in price. The big correction in January, after the strong performance at the end of December, caused a major panic sell. This symptom is more common in new investors, and is hardly ever a good decision.
PUMP
The opposite of dump. This term describes a sudden substantial (and, unfortunately, often shortlived) rise in the price of a cryptocurrency.
REFILL
Buying a new quantity of a cryptocurrency that you already own, because you believe it is undervalued. Careful investors watch for dumps and dips in order to refill.
SCALPING
The art of the speculator, referred to here as the scalper. This technique consists of buying and selling a cryptocurrency over short periods of time, to take advantage of price fluctuations. The best, of course, is when you can sell high and buy low.
SHITCOIN（垃圾幣）
Refers to an altcoin considered to be worthless. Although products like this abound in the cryptosphere, there is no solid consensus. A shitcoin to some may seem like a promising investment to others.
TO THE MOON
Another meme. This expression refers to the supposed potential of a cryptocurrency, whose value you hope will appreciate soon. In recent years, the value of some altcoins has increased by tens of thousands of percentage points. That’s why investors’ expectations are sometimes so high… “I went all-in on Ripple, and I hope it goes to the moon.”
這是指一個加密貨幣的上漲勢頭，因為它一直在攀升，如“這幣的價格有一天會去月球！”
WHALES
There are many theories about whales circulating on the forums – sometimes even conspiracy theories. Whales are investors with a lot of capital whose orders can have a big impact on prices.
鯨魚，這是一個從賭博中借用的術語。這意味著一個交易者擁有很龐大數量的某種加密貨幣，通常是一個對特定加密貨幣的價格看漲的人（一個認為市場會上漲的人）。這些人也被稱為看漲的鯨魚。
