Apeing or to Ape In is a slang term used in the crypto community to describe the act of investing in a cryptocurrency, usually a new or emerging coin, out of a fear of missing out (FOMO), failing to conduct the proper level of research to determine whether or not it's a sound investment. The term is purportedly derived from apes, which are seen as lower-IQ beings than humans, painting the act of "apeing in" on a coin as a stupid, risky move. It is also purported to have been bolstered by the success of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs, although the term's use predates the launch of the collection. The term was popularized online in 2020 and is closely related to the term "degen", which is also used to describe someone who makes hasty investments without conducting the proper research. The term "apeing" is commonly misspelled as "aping."

Apeing 或to Ape In 是加密貨幣社群中使用的俚語，用於描述出於對錯過機會(FOMO) 的恐懼、未能進行適當水平的研究而投資加密貨幣（通常是新的或新興的貨幣）的行為以確定這是否是一項穩健的投資。據稱，這個詞源自猿類，猿類被視為智商低於人類的動物，它們將在硬幣上「猿猴」的行為描繪成一種愚蠢且冒險的舉動。據稱，Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT 的成功也支持了該術語，儘管該術語的使用早於該系列的推出。這個詞在2020年在網路上流行起來，與「degen」一詞密切相關，「degen」也被用來形容那些沒有進行適當研究就倉促投資的人。術語“apeing”通常被錯誤地拼寫為“aping”。

Origin

起源

The exact origins of the term "apeing" in relation to crypto are unclear. The term has been used since as early as 2020 on sites like X / Twitter, with one of the earliest examples appearing in a post on August 27th, 2020 by X[1] user @socrypt, sharing a video of three men dancing under the caption, *The Fellas apeing into a coin."

與加密相關的術語“apeing”的確切起源尚不清楚。該術語早在 2020 年就在 X / Twitter 等網站上使用，最早的例子之一出現在 X[1] 用戶 @socrypt 於 2020 年 8 月 27 日發布的帖子中，分享了三名男子在標題， *夥計們正在模仿一枚硬幣。

On December 7th, the term was defined by happycoin[2] for the first known time, defining it as "the act of investing in something quickly and with no research."

12 月 7 日，happycoin[2] 首次定義了該術語，將其定義為「無需研究即可快速投資某事物的行為」。

Apeing has been defined by several other crypto-related blogs throughout the 2020s, including the CoinMonks Medium[3] page on March 11th, 2022, which includes a comic on what apeing means. The comic claims the term is inspired by the Bored Ape Yacht Club's success, however, this is unconfirmed. It also spells apeing as "aping," which is the less commonly used spelling in relation to crypto.

在整個 2020 年代，其他幾家與加密貨幣相關的部落格都對 Apeing 進行了定義，其中包括 2022 年 3 月 11 日的 CoinMonks Medium[3] 頁面，其中包含有關 apeing 含義的漫畫。漫畫聲稱該術語的靈感來自於無聊猿遊艇俱樂部的成功，然而，這一點尚未得到證實。它還將 apeing 拼寫為“aping”，這是與加密相關的不太常用的拼寫。

On November 1st, 2024, YouTuber[4] Blum posted a video in which he defines several crypto terms, including "apeing," garnering over 4 million views in a month.
