cryptopoetry

The art of hiding clues in seemingly normal poetry. Typically, there are a few key words (such as the first word on every line or every word that is capitalized) that string together to make another sentence with hidden meaning.

Someone, a Jon Doe,
Is wearing glasses,
Reading and studying cryptopoetry. Poring
Over the poem, he tries to find
Your clue, but it is too difficult. His
Shoulder slumps down in failure.

Cryptophobia

The irrational fear of viewing your crypto portfolio because if you do, you'll realise that you've lost all your money

Friend - "Hey how's your crypto trading going?"

You - "Yeah fine. Great. Good. I think"

Friend - "Can you show me how it works? I mean how much do you have invested?"

You - "I'd love to but my login isn't working at the moment and I have RSI in all my fingers and toes so can't reset it"

Friend - "I have a therapist who deals with cryptophobia - I'll give you their number"
