noun | fren
A fren is like a regular friend, but more degenerate and with a better sense of humor - it's a term used in the crypto community to refer to someone who shares your love of shitcoins, memes, and general degeneracy. It's like a bromance, but with more talk about technical analysis and less talk about feelings.
Example
"Me and my frens started a Telegram group for shilling low-cap altcoins to each other. We're all gonna make it, brah - to the moon or to the soup kitchen, there is no in between."
"Being a fren in the crypto space is like being part of a secret society, but instead of illuminati rituals and world domination, it's just a bunch of dudes sharing Pepe memes and talking about how they're gonna retire on a private island with their Dogecoin gains. It's not much, but it's honest work."
