Chinese cryptocurrency vocabulary list (in progress)

Here is a running list of Mandarin Chinese words and phrases that are loosely related to cryptocurrency and bitcoin (emphasis on loosely, there will be fintech and slang here too).

Once it hits 100+ words, I’ll probably migrate to a public Google doc or some such.
