Rekt
Home » Bitcoin Culture » BTC Glossary » Rekt
“Rekt” is an affectionate slang term for “wrecked”, which is the emotion you feel due to a poor investment decision such as losing all your money by FOMOing into a shitcoin or losing your Bitcoin via liquidations on exchanges for being over-leveraged.
In other words, you got rekt. It’s that sinking feeling you get, almost like dread, as you realise the mistake you made but there’s nothing you can do about it now other than feel rekt.
Our advice if you got rekt is to stay well away from social media and take your time picking up the pieces, learn from your mistakes and don’t make them again!
