This is the price of an asset multiplied by the total supply. Instead of the market cap where the price is multiplied by the circulating supply.

FIL may have a market cap of $11 billion but has an FDV of $320 billion.

dumb money

Not understanding an asset a person is buying, or a market someone is engaging in. Not caring to learn about an asset someone is buying.

Buying an asset at the peak before a bear market. The act of buying high and selling low.

Effectively, it’s dumb money moving in.

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.

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.
