📚 Glossary 📚

🛡️ Quantum-resistant
Quantum-resistant refers to a type of cryptographic algorithm that is considered secure against the capabilities of a quantum computer. Quantum computers have the potential to break many of the current encryption methods, so developing quantum-resistant algorithms is crucial for future-proofing data security.

🎮 Centralization
Centralization in cryptocurrency refers to the control of a network or asset being concentrated in the hands of a single entity or a small group. This contrasts with decentralization, where control is distributed across many participants. Centralization can lead to concerns about censorship, security, and the original ethos of cryptocurrencies as open and decentralized networks.

🔍 DeFi
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) represents a broad category of financial applications in cryptocurrency or blockchain geared toward disrupting financial intermediaries. DeFi platforms allow users to lend, borrow, trade, and earn interest on assets without the need for a centralized institution, using smart contracts on decentralized networks.

🚨 Altcoin
Altcoin is a term used to describe all cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin. Altcoins often aim to offer features that Bitcoin does not, such as improved efficiency, increased privacy, or unique governance structures.

🕵️ Privacy-centric cryptocurrencies
Privacy-centric cryptocurrencies are designed to preserve the anonymity of their users. These cryptocurrencies use various cryptographic techniques to obscure transaction details such as sender, receiver, and transaction amount. Monero is a well-known example, using technologies like stealth addresses and ring signatures to ensure privacy.

💼 SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission)
The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) is a US government agency responsible for enforcing the laws concerning securities markets and protecting investors. In the context of cryptocurrency, the SEC evaluates whether crypto assets qualify as securities and thus are subject to regulatory oversight.

⚠️ Unregistered Security
An unregistered security is a financial instrument that has not been registered with the appropriate regulatory body, like the SEC, for public offering. In cryptocurrencies, debates often arise over whether certain tokens meet the legal definition of securities and therefore need to comply with securities regulations.

💼 Market sentiment
Market sentiment reflects the overall attitude of investors toward a particular financial market or security. It is the prevailing mood, feeling, or tone of the market as indicated by the activity and price movement of the securities traded in the market. Positive sentiment drives rising prices, while negative sentiment leads to declining prices.

🏦 Hedge
In finance, a hedge is an investment made to reduce or eliminate the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. It usually involves taking an offsetting position in a related security, such as options or futures. In cryptocurrency, Bitcoin is sometimes viewed as a hedge against traditional economic instability or inflation.
