noun | krip·toh·kur·uhn·see
Cryptocurrency is like Monopoly money on crack - it's all fun and games until someone loses their shirt (and their mortgage). It's that magical internet moolah that everyone and their grandma is talking about, even though most of them have no fucking clue how it actually works.
Example
"Cryptocurrency is like a giant game of musical chairs, except instead of chairs, it's digital coins, and instead of music, it's the sound of nerds arguing about blockchain on Twitter. And when the music stops, you better hope you're not the one left holding the bag (of worthless shitcoins)."
"I tried to explain cryptocurrency to my Boomer dad and he just looked at me like I was speaking Klingon. He still thinks 'Bitcoin' is what you get when you put a quarter in one of those toy dispensers at the grocery store. Smdh."
