What Is WAGMI in Crypto?

What Does WAGMI Mean? 

"WAGMI" is an abbreviation for “We’re all gonna make it”. Frequently used among investment communities like cryptocurrency, "WAGMI" inspires a sense of interconnectedness and represents an optimistic belief that all the participants in the community will “make it”. In this case, “make it” refers to all the participants succeeding in achieving financial gains from their investments. In short, "WAGMI" means everyone will succeed financially. 

Connotation 

The term carries a positive connotation as it represents solidarity and optimism. However, some critics have pointed out it is often used as a promotional slogan, and since people also lose money in crypto, the idea that everyone is going to make it can influence irresponsible behavior, especially among new investors. Always do your own research before committing to any investment decisions.

Antonym

The term “WAGMI” contrast with “NGMI”, an abbreviation for “Not gonna make it”. "NGMI" carries a negative connotation as it suggests an investor has made a questionable decision.

Examples 

The term is also used on Twitter as a hashtag, #WAGMI, to encourage the investment community.
