An idealistic term for assets that are favorably gaining in price.

Moon is one of the descriptive terms used for assets that are experiencing favorable market conditions, such as constant increases in prices. The term is generally used deliberately, as in, the price of an asset is rising so high it is heading to the moon. So, a ‘mooning’ cryptocurrency is one whose price has gained a strong upward trend in the market.

A mechanism that allows multiple individuals to have access to the same wallet, but restricts the execution of transactions until all signatories approve.

Multisignature (multisig for short) is a kind of contract mechanism used in corporate finance (generally banking) to secure accounts. In the traditional banking case, multisig allows two or more persons to have access to the same account. However, whenever a transaction is made by one of these persons, the others have to endorse it or it will not be executed.

Multisig has been adapted to crypto space, allowing multiple traders to use the same wallet address. However, once again, all involved parties must approve of every transaction from the address before said transactions will be carried out.

Governmental policies used to guide the value, usage, and flow of money in a region.

Monetary policy is an economic term that refers to the set of guidelines or principles that guide the value, use, and flow of money within an established political region. This policy is not arbitrary but is always introduced and implemented by the government of the region, thereby determining the total volume of currency available at any one time.

Traditionally, monetary policy is used to guard against unfavorable economic conditions such as inflation. However, they can also be used to drive up the value of a fiat currency via interest rate manipulation. Thus, monetary policy is a fundamental economic mechanism with severe implications upon misuse.
