Crypto tropes: A translation

Project X has solid fundamentals

Translation: I don’t know what fundamentals are

We love our community — we have the best community in the world

Translation: Can you believe these idiots actually buy this rubbish 😂 Right, whose round is it?

We’re going to change the world

Translation: Our product will never be used by anyone

Nothing has changed since January, I’m just thankful for this cheap crypto

Translation: I’m wilfully ignoring that most ATHs were momentary and artificially high rather than face the truth

I don’t care about the prices, I’m just in it for the tech

Translation: I’m in it so I can buy a jetpack

We just signed a huge partnership

Translation: We paid massive amounts of money just so company X would engage with us

Dude look at this, they’ve got such a solid team

Translation: I could find most of the team members on LinkedIn

1m tps confirmed: We’ve solved the scaling problem

Translation: Disclaimer — we’ve got rid of all the stuff that makes the tech useful

Stop spreading FUD

Translation: Stop explaining actually important news which will have a massive impact on price just because I don’t like to hear anything that doesn’t conform to my own beliefs that everything is sunshine

With Product X, we’re decentralising everything

Translation: Even though we’re a registered and regulated company and control 90% of the token supply and run all of the nodes, we’ve now got a token which we completely premined so really when you think about it we actually are decentralised

Seriously guys, I can’t believe the price isn’t going up. How much more good news does it take?

Translation: Price has risen tens of thousands of % in the last year, but has remained flat for two straight days
