hfsp
What does hfsp mean?
Have Fun Staying Poor — the standard crypto comeback to anyone who criticises Bitcoin, calls it a bubble, or says they'll never buy. A condescending kiss-off that assumes the speaker has already made it and the doubter is condemned to a life of fiat wage slavery. Reads as smug when crypto's up, embarrassing when it's down.
"Boomer journalist called BTC a Ponzi again — HFSP."
Origin
Crypto Twitter circa 2020-21, popularised by Bitcoin maximalists and 'laser eyes' accounts.
