cryptobro

What does cryptobro mean?

A male crypto enthusiast — usually loud, usually dogmatic, usually evangelising about a specific coin to anyone who didn't ask. Carries strong connotations of overconfidence, dismissiveness toward critics, and a Lamborghini-shaped vision board. Almost always pejorative when used by outsiders, sometimes worn ironically by insiders.

"Every cryptobro in my replies is telling me I'm gonna regret not buying the dip."

Origin

Compound of 'crypto' + 'bro', following the same template as tech bro, finance bro, gym bro. Took off around 2017's ICO mania and cemented in the 2021 bull cycle.
