Crypto’s return puts no-coiner critics in an awkward spot

The past three months have been good to everyone in the crypto world as the price of Bitcoin has shot past $40,000—it is currently hovering near $44,000—for a year-to-date gain of around 170%, and as the industry shows it is about more than crime and scandal. Well, good to everyone except the no-coiners.

The term is industry lingo for one of the tribes that inhabits the crypto world alongside the likes of Bitcoin maxis and the XRP Army (crypto people have their own vocabulary for nearly everything). As the name suggests, no-coiners are those who don’t hold any cryptocurrencies and loudly advise others to do the same. Their position is based in the belief that crypto is fundamentally stupid or criminal or both.
