fork

Sranan Tongo: forku

→ Dutch: fork

→ Kannada: ಫೋರ್ಕ್ (phōrk)

→ Korean: 포크 (pokeu)

→ Maori: paoka

→ Tamil: போர்க் (pōrk)

→ Telugu: ఫోర్క్ (phōrk)

From Middle English forke (“digging fork”), from Old English force, forca (“forked instrument used to torture”), from Proto-West Germanic *furkō (“fork”), from Latin furca (“pitchfork, forked stake; gallows, beam, stake, support post, yoke”), of uncertain origin. The Middle English word was later reinforced by Anglo-Norman, Old Northern French forque (= Old French forche whence French fourche), also from the Latin. Doublet of fourche and furcate. Cognate also with North Frisian forck (“fork”), Dutch vork (“fork”), Danish fork (“fork”), German Forke (“pitchfork”). Displaced native gafol, ġeafel, ġeafle (“fork”), from Old English.
In its primary sense of “fork”, Latin furca appears to be derived from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰerk(ʷ)-, *ǵʰerg(ʷ)- (“fork”), although the development of the -c- is difficult to explain. In other senses this derivation is unlikely. For these, perhaps it is connected to Proto-Germanic *furkaz, *firkalaz (“stake, stick, pole, post”), from Proto-Indo-European *perg- (“pole, post”). If so, this would relate the word to Old English forclas pl (“bolt”), Old Saxon ferkal (“lock, bolt, bar”), Old Norse forkr (“pole, staff, stick”), Norwegian fork (“stick, bat”), Swedish fork (“pole”).

crypto

en-noun

crypto (countable and uncountable, plural cryptos)

All senses trace back to clippings of words derived from the prefix crypto-, developed at various times in the 20th and 21st centuries. During the 2010s and 2020s, the "cryptocurrency" sense has become the dominant sense. The "cryptography" sense predates that one; thus, a computer or math geek in earlier decades would be referring to cryptography when using this word. The "secret supporter or follower" sense is clipped from such terms as cryptofascist and cryptocommunist. The several informal senses in medicine referring to several microbe genera or the diseases they cause have existed since circa the mid-20th century.

DAO

DAO (countable and uncountable, plural DAOs)

As the name suggests, DAOs are autonomous entities that subsist independently from any legal or moral entity. After they have been created and deployed onto the internet, they no longer need (nor heed) their creators.

2014 March 8, Primavera De Filippi, “Tomorrow's Apps Will Come From Brilliant (And Risky) Bitcoin Code”, in Wired, →ISSN:

Humans aren't in charge, they are on the edges. AI is what makes the decisions and the DAO maintains itself. DAOs aren't just defined by having AI make all the decisions, they also have their own internal capital.

2016, Siraj Raval, Decentralized Applications, O'Reilly Media, →ISBN:

But with the mayor’s backing, Mr. Nelson is planning to establish a trust fund that would serve as the basis of the DAO. “I’m dreaming,” he said. “Two Harbors could turn into Disneyland.”

2022 January 25, David Yaffe-Bellany, “The Rise of the Crypto Mayors”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

DAOs, which have been described as “financial flash mobs” or “group chats with bank accounts,” are among the fastest-growing parts of the crypto ecosystem.

2022 March 2, Erin Woo, Kevin Roose, “This Social Club Runs On Crypto Tokens and Vibes”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

decentralized autonomous organization
w:decentralized autonomous organization

(cryptocurrencies, Web3) Acronym of decentralized autonomous organization, an autonomous entity based on smart contracts on a blockchain.


trustless

A trustless network can run even if none of its nodes trusts another.

In the trustless cryptocurrency world, you can still trust the cryptocurrency community and its mechanisms to ensure that the blockchain contains an accurate and immutable—unchangeable—record of cryptocurrency transactions.

2019, Peter Kent, Tyler Bain, Cryptocurrency Mining For Dummies, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 30:

This article draws from the extensive academic discussion on the concepts of “trust” and “confidence” to argue that blockchain technology is not a ‘trustless technology’ but rather a ‘confidence machine’.

2020 August, Primavera De Filippi, Morshed Mannan, Wessel Reijers, “Blockchain as a confidence machine: The problem of trust & challenges of governance”, in Technology in Society, volume 62, →DOI:

If it becomes cheaper to use a TTP to verify the transaction than some cryptographic or other automated mechanism, then the benefit of being “trustless” becomes an illusion.

2021, Shin'ichiro Matsuo, Nat Sakimura, editors, Blockchain Gaps: From Myth to Real Life, Springer Nature, →ISBN, page 34:

And the system would be “trustless” — that is, it would not rely on a trusted party, such as a bank or government, to arbitrate transactions.

2022 June 7, Siobhan Roberts, “How ‘Trustless’ Is Bitcoin, Really?”, in The New York Times, →ISSN:

(computing, cryptocurrencies) Which does not need any trust, or a trusted third party.


to the moon

The marketing of this relatively new money has so far been limited mostly to ads on trade websites and targeted pushes on social media, where aficionados swap meme-fueled in-jokes about coin values rocketing to the moon.

2021 July 7, Tiffany Hsu, Coral Murphy Marcos, “Cryptocurrency Seeks the Spotlight, With Spike Lee’s Help”, in The New York Times:

(cryptocurrencies, slang) Of a cryptocurrency, increasing rapidly and substantially in value.


to the moon

(cryptocurrencies, slang) An aspirational or rallying call for confidence that the value of a cryptocurrency will greatly increase in the future.

hard fork

Bitcoin Cash is a hard fork of Bitcoin.

Some are pushing for a “hard fork” of Ethereum, which would undo the damage by effectively asking 51% of the currency’s users to agree to pretend that it had never happened in the first place.

2017 November 8, Alex Hern, “'$300m in cryptocurrency' accidentally lost forever due to bug”, in The Guardian:

As it pertains to blockchain technology, a hard fork is an upgrade to mining software that makes a change to the network that requires the participation of all miners.

2020, Lorne Lantz, Daniel Cawrey, Mastering Blockchain, O'Reilly, →ISBN, page 61:

(cryptocurrencies) A rule change of a blockchain such that the software validating according to the old rules will see the blocks produced according to the new rules as invalid; the new blockchain resulting from such a split.


soft fork

As it pertains to blockchain technology, a soft fork is an upgrade to mining software that makes a change to the network but does not require that all miners participate.

(cryptocurrencies) A rule change of a blockchain that does not require an upgrade of the whole network.


cold wallet

(cryptocurrencies) Synonym of cold storage.


Puertopia

[…] to "crypto-currency" traders building their own version of a libertarian, tax-free "Puertopia" built on Bitcoin.

2018, Mimi Sheller, Mobility Justice: The Politics of Movement in an Age of Extremes, unnumbered page:

Their arrival came as residents of the island struggled from the devastation wreaked by Hurricane Maria, but the young millionaires—some of them were billionaires—had another priority: creating "Puertopia."

2020, Jeff John Roberts, Kings of Crypto: One Startup's Quest to Take Cryptocurrency Out of Silicon Valley and Onto Wall Street, unnumbered page:

Puerto Rico has become a hotbed for this virtual currency as ultra rich advocates, such as Brock Pierce, flocked to their Caribbean “Puertopia” to evade taxes and to maximize their blockchain profits.

2021, Catalina M. de Onís, Energy Islands: Metaphors of Power, Extractivism, and Justice in Puerto Rico, page 210:

(cryptocurrencies slang) Puerto Rico as a cryptocurrency tax haven.


memecoin

memecoins (plural)
meme coin (alternative)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-memecoin.wav

But memecoins are simply online jokes converted into digital money, worth only what people are willing to pay for them. The most famous memecoin is Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency linked to a meme of a talking Shiba Inu puppy.

2024 July 27, David Yaffe-Bellany, “A Digital Coin Based on Baby Trump? Yup.”, in The New York Times:

Memecoins are seen as a gauge of retail interest and risk appetite in crypto. When memecoin activity ramps up, it usually indicates that retail investors are participating and have an appetite to speculate further out on the risk curve.

2024 November 12, Tanaya Macheel, “Dogecoin spikes after Trump announces a Department of Government Efficiency — DOGE”, in CNBC:

(cryptocurrencies) A cryptocurrency or token that is based on a meme or has a comedic trait.


on-chain

The on-chain methodology suggests that all customer data is taken care of inside each block on the blockchain.

2021, D. Sumathi et al., editors, Convergence of Blockchain Technology and E-Business, CRC Press, →ISBN, page 241:

(cryptocurrencies) Occurring, validated, and recorded on a blockchain.


off-chain

The off-chain arrangements use miners who give their hard disk to store other clients' records for a prize, and the blockchain is utilized to encourage the capacity market among miners and clients.

(cryptocurrencies) Occurring outside of a blockchain.


tokenomics

It is for this reason that the rules of the economy—the “tokenomics”—are so important. Tokenomics is an uncharted discipline, and there are very few best practices. If your kids are going into college, tell them to dual-major in economics and computer science.

2019, John Hargrave, Blockchain for Everyone, Simon and Schuster, →ISBN, page 270:

The biggest investors and industry players are also lobbying in Washington to influence rules that would favor their futuristic view of tokenomics, which can already be seen in some burgeoning communities where web3 is not some abstract concept but a feature of daily life.

2021 December 5, Ephrat Livni, “Welcome to ‘Web3.’ What’s That?”, in New York Times:

(cryptocurrencies) The rules or science of the token economy.


digital scarcity

Until 2009 digital scarcity did not exist in any meaningful way. If I had a file on my computer – a picture of a cat, say – I could copy that file for as many people as I wanted at a price too low to calculate.

2018, Simon Dingle, In Math We Trust: Bitcoin, Cryptocurrency and the Journey To Being Your Own Bank, Jonathan Ball Publishers, →ISBN:

With this technological design, Nakamoto was able to invent digital scarcity. Bitcoin is the first example of a digital good that is scarce and cannot be reproduced infinitely.

2018, Saifedean Ammous, The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 177:

The CryptoKitties team addressed the concept of digital scarcity for singular items by way of their digital collectibles. No two CryptoKitties are alike—each one is unique.

2021, Tiana Laurence, Seoyoung Kim, NFTs For Dummies, John Wiley & Sons, →ISBN, page 22:

(cryptocurrencies) A limitation, imposed through software, of digital information; in particular, the limitation on the total supply of a cryptocurrency or other crypto-based tokens.


cryptosphere

The core-team Apes describe the graffiti-covered bathroom of the club itself — which looks like a sticky Tiki bar — in a way that echoes that project’s broader mission: “Think of it as a collaborative art experiment for the cryptosphere.”

2021 November 1, Samantha Hissong, “How Four NFT Novices Created a Billion-Dollar Ecosystem of Cartoon Apes”, in Rolling Stone:

The following became obvious quite quickly – the cryptosphere needed a nonvolatile peg.

2022, Simon Dingle, Steven Boykey Sidley, chapter 7, in Beyond Bitcoin, Icon Books, →ISBN:

(informal, cryptocurrencies, collective) The cryptocurrency community.


TVL

(cryptocurrencies, finance) Initialism of total value locked (“sum of all assets deposited in a protocol”).


proof of burn

Proof of burn is used to destroy (burn) coins. To burn bitcoins means to send those bitcoins to a verifiable yet nonspendable address.

2015, David Lee Kuo Chuen, Handbook of Digital Currency: Bitcoin, Innovation, Financial Instruments, and Big Data, Academic Press, →ISBN, page 47:

The third approach to ensure the integrity of a blockchain is proof of burn, first used by Counterparty. The Counterparty tokens, XCP, were distributed proportionally to everyone who destroyed bitcoins by sending them to an unrecoverable address during the proof-of-burn period in January 2014, see counterparty.io.

2017, David Lee Kuo Chuen, Robert H. Deng, editors, Handbook of Blockchain, Digital Finance, and Inclusion, volume 1, Academic Press, →ISBN, page 151:

(cryptocurrencies) A process for verification on a blockchain that requires the destruction (“burning”) of tokens.


digital gold

Moores says part of the currency’s power is in its use as a speculative instrument for trading – a digital gold – but also as a way for companies to make payments more cheaply and perform other functions.

2017 May 15, Simon Usborne, quoting Simon Moore, “Digital gold: why hackers love Bitcoin”, in The Guardian:

If bitcoin was digital gold, Ethereum was digital silver.

2020, Jeff John Roberts, Kings of Crypto, Harvard Business Press, →ISBN:

(finance, cryptocurrencies) A cryptocurrency seen as a safe store of value.


coinbase

The transaction that created new Bitcoins would be referred to as the coinbase of each block.

2015, Nathaniel Popper, “Technical Appendix”, in Digital Gold, 1st edition, New York: Harper, →ISBN, →OCLC:

The authors randomly sampled 100 coinbases from the last 20,000 blocks of the blockchain that by the time of the experiment had the highest block-height at 247,054.

2016, Ghassan O. Karame, Elli Androulaki, Bitcoin and Blockchain Security, Artech House, →ISBN, page 92:

Coinbase transactions have nothing to do with the US company of the same name. Coinbase is the required first transaction of every block and is the only transaction allowed to bring bitcoins into existence.

2019, Jimmy Song, Programming Bitcoin: Learn How to Program Bitcoin from Scratch, O'Reilly Media, →ISBN, page 164:

(cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin) The transaction that is automatically created in every Bitcoin block to reward the miner.


UTXO

cryptowealthy

en-adj

cryptowealthy (comparative more cryptowealthy, superlative most cryptowealthy)

more cryptowealthy (comparative)
most cryptowealthy (superlative)
crypto-wealthy (alternative)

There’s a common paranoia among the crypto-wealthy that they’ll be targeted and robbed since there’s no bank securing the money, so many are obsessively secretive.

2018 January 13, Nellie Bowles, “Everyone Is Getting Hilariously Rich and You’re Not”, in The New York Times:

While that could lead to cooperative arrangements of mutual assistance, it could also give the cryptowealthy all of the power and none of the limits of a liberal democratic society.

2018, Kevin Werbach, “Connecting the Legal and the Technical”, in The Blockchain and the New Architecture of Trust, Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, →ISBN, page 219:

“[…] one of the reasons for that is that there are a lot more people who’ve made their money in crypto and they tend to be younger,” Hyslop said. “They self-identify as crypto-wealthy; some who were bidding in the last slae realized for the first time that they could actually buy meteorites, and they were extremely enthusiastic.”

2022 February 13, James Tarmy, “Meteorite Market: Crypto has helped finance buyers willing to pay thousands”, in The Philadelphia Inquirer, volume 193, number 258, page H3:
