Someone whose above-average grasp of a system lets them access classified information and computer environments.

A hacker is traditionally any individual who has a strong understanding of computer systems and can therefore manipulate them as they like. Such an individual’s grasp of computing networks and environments allows them to modify software without the original developer’s approval, and access areas inaccessible to ordinary computer users.

In contemporary times, the term has a negative undertone and usually refers to people with bad intentions to breach computer security systems and steal confidential information. There are, however, different categories of hackers based on intention and action. In descending order of negative motives, these are black hackers (bad), gray hackers (neutral), and white hackers (good).

The memic response to irresponsible instances of monetary policy implementations, particularly quantitative easing.

Haha Money Printer Go Brrrrr is a phrase that humorously mimics a printer making copies of money. The origin of the phrase is the announced decision of the US government via the Federal Reserve to increase money supply to ease the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This decision, parallel to the economic principle of quantitative easing, was not well received by expert economists, so a meme was created with the punchline, Haha Money Printer Go Brrrrr.

The memic phrase is no longer in popular usage. Nevertheless, it is used once in a while to describe seemingly irrational monetary policies, especially in the face of contemporary financial models such as the decentralization system of blockchain technologies.

, the traditional currency of the Ethereum network.

Gwei is a division standard or denomination of Ethereum’s cryptocurrency, ether (ETH). Specifically, it is equivalent to 1 billionth of an ether, meaning that 1 billion Gweis make up 1 ETH. It is the middle denomination in the ether hierarchy, so it is correspondingly greater than Wei, Kwei, and Mwei, but less than Microether, Milliether, and Ether. Nevertheless, it is one of the most common ETH denominations used as gas (transaction fees) on the Ethereum blockchain.

A Gwei is to ETH what a satoshi is to Bitcoin (BTC). It is also referred to as nanoether.
