bitcoiners
Digital currency believers
Bitcoiners are enthusiasts and advocates of Bitcoin, the cryptocurrency.
The term suggests more than casual ownership—bitcoiners tend to be ideologically committed to decentralized currency and often evangelize its benefits: Bitcoiners see fiat currency as fundamentally flawed.
The community has its own vocabulary, memes, and maxims like "HODL" (hold on for dear life).
