No-Coiner

Trading and SpeculationUpdated 13 Nov 2026

A no-coiner, sometimes written "nocoiner", is a person who holds no cryptocurrency at all. The word is used mostly by crypto enthusiasts, either as a neutral description of the general public or as a jab at outspoken critics who argue that Bitcoin and other coins are bubbles or scams. Holders sometimes claim that no-coiners spread FUD because they missed earlier price rises, while sceptics have adopted the term proudly for themselves. Being a no-coiner can reflect a deliberate choice about risk, ethics or energy use rather than ignorance. The label sits alongside other tribal terms such as Bitcoin maximalist and HODLer, which describe attitudes more than investment strategies. Also see newb.
