This audio is presented by Hacker Noon, where anyone can learn anything about any technology. IELF Dictionary. A list of terms and slangs to sound like a blockchain in AI Pro, by IELF. Recall the day you first stepped foot into the Web3 and crypto world. Did you find yourself reflexively googling what HODL, NFT, and DAO stood for?
