1️⃣ Blockchain: The foundation of everything.
A public, decentralized database where every transaction is recorded forever.
It's what ensures that no one can trick you.
2️⃣ Layer 1 and Layer 2
Layer 1s are the main blockchains: Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche.
It's where contracts run, assets are born, transactions are validated.
Layer 2s are solutions built on top of Layer 1s to improve scalability (faster, cheaper). Ex: Arbitrum, Optimism, Base.
Layer 1 is the stage. Layer 2 is the upgrade.
3️⃣ Bull Market
Euphoria phase, price soaring, everyone winning.
It's where even bad projects rise. Imagine the good ones.
4️⃣ Bear Market
Consistent appreciation phase, marked by high liquidity, positive sentiment, and entry of institutional and retail capital.
Projects perform above average, and the market prices the future growth of assets.
Even assets without fundamentals tend to rise. The solid ones, then, skyrocket.
5️⃣ ATH (All Time High)
It's the highest price the asset has ever reached in history.
Every good crypto seeks a new ATH.
6️⃣ Staking
A way to earn yield with your cryptos, letting them 'work' for you in a validation network.
You lock the asset, and it pays you for that.
7️⃣ Pump and Dump
Explosive rise followed by a sharp drop. Often manipulated.
If you arrive at the pump, you've already arrived late.
8️⃣ DeFi (Decentralized Finance)
It's the financial market without banks, without managers, just protocol.
It's where the investor becomes the operator.
9️⃣ Gas Fee
It's the blockchain fee. To validate, transfer, move.
It's the price you pay to be part of the game.
🔟 Airdrop
Free distribution of tokens to users of a network or protocol.
Usually, for those who used the project early or completed some task.
