What Is a Degen
"Degen," short for "degenerate," is a term used in the cryptocurrency and finance communities to describe people who engage in high-risk, speculative trading and investments. Degens often participate in volatile markets, seeking quick profits with little regard for traditional risk management. Originally a negative term, it has been embraced by many in the crypto community as a badge of honor, symbolizing a bold and adventurous approach to investing.
