NGMI stands for ‘Not Gonna Make It’—a brutal crypto meme mocking poor decisions (like panic-selling during dips or investing in obvious scams). The NGMI guide explains it originated in Ethereum circles to shame short-term thinking. For example, traders who sold Bitcoin at 30kin2021(beforeithit60k+) were labeled NGMI. The term is a wake-up call to avoid emotional trading and focus on long-term strategies. The article also links NGMI to ‘weak hands’—those who can’t handle volatility. To dodge the NGMI label: do your own research (DYOR), ignore FOMO, and never invest more than you can lose. Ironically, the meme has become a badge of honor for HODLers who survive market chaos.
