GM
Short for 'good morning,' a near-ritual greeting used to signal presence and goodwill in crypto communities.
Two letters that became a culture. On Twitter and in Discord servers, posting 'gm' is less about the time of day and more about showing up. Reply 'gm' back and you are part of the tribe.
It peaked with the 2021 NFT boom, when projects measured loyalty in daily greetings. Critics call it empty noise. Defenders call it the cheapest community-building there is.
