twap

Time-weighted average price. The average price of an asset over time.

TWAP is used by traders with high volume, executing the same size trade over and over during a span of time. This is done to not drain liquidity in a single trade. And to not affect market perceptions in a single trade.

dust

Significantly low balances, such as a balance below 1 US cent, that are non-zero. Possible in cryptocurrency, where digital currencies can be seen up to 18 decimal places. Example: 0.000001 USDC.

This exchange has a minimum trading amount and a minimum withdrawal limit, so my account has dust I'll never be able to withdraw.

EOS

A cryptocurrency created by Block One which supports smart contacts much like Ethereum. EOS uses delegated proof of stake to confirm transactions, which leads to confirmed speeds of at least 1000 transactions per secund, as opposed to Ethereum's 15 transactions per secund. The developers of Block One claim EOS, as a cryptocurrency, is not an acronym.

- I bought EOS at its peak! Oh no!
- That's right. Buy high, sell low.

decentralized currency

Digital money organized by a synced distributed ledger online. While centralized currencies are backed by the economies of countries, decentralized currencies typically don't have a government affiliation. These currencies are run by incentivized volunteers via appropriate consensus algorithms. Much like incentivized volunteers run Uber, called drivers, and Airbnb, called hosts, incentivized volunteers, traditionally called "miners," run these decentralized currency protocols. Examples of decentralized currencies include Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I haven't been trading much decentralized currency lately.
