JOMO

Trading and SpeculationUpdated 13 Nov 2026

JOMO, short for "joy of missing out", is the feeling of being content to stay away from a trend, event or opportunity rather than anxiously joining it. It was coined as the opposite of FOMO, the fear of missing out. In crypto and trading circles, JOMO describes an investor who is comfortable watching a token rally without buying in, skipping a hyped launch, or logging off during a frenzy, often because they follow a fixed plan, prefer to HODL or simply value their time and peace of mind. The term is informal and carries no technical meaning. It is often contrasted with the restless style of a degen trader, and it reflects ideas from behavioral finance about how emotions push people to buy near peaks and sell near lows.
