A term for a person who is very careful in their decision to invest in cryptocurrencies, acknowledging the fact that investments are a very volatile gamble due to constant "pumping and dumping" and much more. Currently, while terms such as hodl are very popular amongst crypto investors, craeful investors are generally more knowledgeable on the security of capital and responsibility. The term was coined by John Oliver in an effort to inform people on the dangers of such an investment.

Not investing more than you can afford to lose into cryptocurrencies, while also making sure to pull out if you see that you might be losing your money. Very different from another crypto word Hodl of almost opposite meaning.

1)Something the person asking probably can't do.

2)A question that would take far too much time and effort to answer.
1) Q:How do I program an MMORPG?

2) Q:How do I fix this virus?
A: Very carefully.

very carefully

A random punchline that can occur in a conversation showing intense mental prowess and wit... It also makes you douche bag number one. Totally satirical and not pending to the conversation, you're random interjection will at least garner a laugh, or at worst stop the conversation awkwardly.

Usually this can be followed by an OH SNAP to make it seem like it was a score for your team. However, like the song that never ends, anal sex, and zylon b, too much will make you hated by your peers and friends.

To use this (USE VERY CAREFULLY) is a small step process.

STEP 1. The Question: It must be a question asked using the word HOW and have a context: How can we accomplish, how can this happen, etc. Are acceptable. However, How do these two things relate, how are we different, how much is it? cannot be used unless you wanna randomly fuck with people.

STEP 2: Upon the person setting up the context, and you cluing in, quickly blurt out the answer: "VERY CAREFULLY" keep in mind that timing is key, 1-2 seconds max, it has to be clear, and concise right after the "setter-upper" asks the question. Too late and it will not make sense or someone will provide a different solution, such as a real answer in which case, moots your "Very Carefully" and will make every one say WTF MATE?!!
Example:

TEACHER: How did Claudius plan to kill Hamlet?

STUDENT: VERY CAREFULLY

#2

JESSICA: How could she've done this!!!?

FRANK: Very Carefully

Jessica slaps Frank, and then Frank curb stomps the fuck out of Jessica.

#3

CHRIS93: Alright guys how are we gonna kill the elite above the tunnel?

myg0tB3rni3: Very carefully

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
