 What’s the cringiest bitcoin term?

Have Fun Staying Poor
HODL
Choose Rich
To The Moon

Any I’m missing? 
 Stay humble 🤙
There is no second best. 😊 
 Staying humble is at least a decent virtue. 

That second one, and other Saylorisms like “digital energy” are meh, at best. 
 I just moved your npub to my friendstr list 
 I don’t know what that means, but thanks? 😊 
 think alike kinda list of people. 
 Or timechain lol 
 If you don't get itn I don't have time to explain 
 Don't trust, verify 

DYOR 
 Ooo, good additions. 
 hodl and "get some in case it caches on" 
 Have fun with your #bitcoin 
 Choose rich? Wtf? Who the fuck is saying that?  
 shitcoiners say that, not bitcoiners 
 I’ve seen that nonsense posted and retweeted by a LOT of bitcoiners over on X. 
 They prob dabble in shitcoins then bc it was coined by a shitcoiner 
 Well, it’s cringe af regardless. 😅 
 Choose life! 
 Might be a quote from the wolf of wall street movie 
 I’ve never heard “choose rich”

But i would say using the term “rip” as on “recorded and published conversation” makes me cringe

Of your list though, to the moon is just lame and dorky and elon said it on snl so very cringey

Also HODL is pretty bad bc it has spread beyond bitcoin to pretty much anything, despite the fact that the fundamental concept really only applies to Bitcoin due to absolute scarcity. Everything is a gamble to hodl.
