MOON
(Extreme Price Increase)
"To the moon" is a crypto and meme stock community phrase predicting or celebrating rapid price appreciation, implying an asset will reach astronomical values. Originating from 2014 BTC forums, it became mainstream during the 2021 DOGE and GME rallies.
The term reflects speculative euphoria, often appearing when assets gain 100%+ in days. While some coins/stocks do "moon" (Bitcoin's 2010-2021 rise of 20 million percent), most fail to sustain highs - 95% of 2017 ICOs became worthless. MOON calls frequently accompany pump-and-dump schemes, making them red flags for seasoned investors. The opposite term is "rekt" for catastrophic losses. Responsible traders balance moon potential with fundamentals and portfolio diversification.
