WAGMI

An acronym for 'we're all gonna make it,' a rallying cry of optimism among crypto communities.

The phrase spread through NFT and trading circles around 2021 as a way to signal shared conviction. Hold through the dip, the thinking goes, and everyone wins together.

It is morale, not analysis. WAGMI rings loudest near the top of a cycle, when belief outruns price. Its mirror image is NGMI, the dismissive 'not gonna make it.'
