I’ve been hearing ngmi (not gonna make it) for quite a while now in fairly general usage, but the related gm (gonna make it)and wagmi (we’re all gonna make it), which I just picked up on yesterday, seem recent, and more specific to NFT crowd.

Sorry to mislead, gm is good morning, gmi is gonna make it

This suggests a vaguely more socialist politics to this wave of crypto, and eth centric
The battle cry of 2017, hodl, seems old-fashioned libertarian and Bitcoin-centric

Also they keep saying ‘ser’ and it’s not clear wtf that is. From context it seems to be ‘seriously’

This is true, I’m not even in it, (nft/defi) so it’s fair to predict I’m ngmi. Just curious about the meme culture for now.

Ok ‘ser’ is apparently ‘sir’ not seriously. So these are… socialist+feudal kids 🤔

It’s “sir” but less formal sounding

I tend not to take a thing seriously until it acquires a distinctive jargon, so I guess this is past that point now

I think what got me interested is the shift in emphasis from NFTs to DAOs, which seems recent. NFTs seemed mostly like a dead end in a pet-rock/name-a-star-after-yourself way. DAOs seem like there’s a there there.
