bitcoiner
Digital currency advocate
A bitcoiner is someone who holds or advocates for Bitcoin, the decentralized cryptocurrency.
The term often implies ideological commitment beyond mere investment—bitcoiners tend to believe in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, government overreach, or traditional banking: He's not just a crypto trader, he's a hardcore bitcoiner.
The community has its own vocabulary and culture, with terms like "hodl" (hold through volatility) and "stacking sats" (accumulating small units of Bitcoin).
