输出：Apeing In（加密）

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 是加密货币社区中使用的一个俚语，用于描述出于对错过机会 (FOMO) 的恐惧、未能进行适当水平的研究而投资加密货币（通常是新的或新兴的货币）的行为以确定这是否是一项稳健的投资。据称，这个词源自猿类，猿类被视为智商低于人类的动物，它们将在硬币上“猿猴”的行为描绘成一种愚蠢且冒险的举动。据称，Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT 的成功也支撑了该术语，尽管该术语的使用早于该系列的推出。这个词在2020年在网上流行起来，与“degen”一词密切相关，“degen”也被用来形容那些没有进行适当研究就仓促投资的人。术语“apeing”通常被错误地拼写为“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."

与加密相关的术语“apeing”的确切起源尚不清楚。该术语早在 2020 年就在 X / Twitter 等网站上使用，最早的例子之一出现在 X[1] 用户 @socrypt 于 2020 年 8 月 27 日发布的帖子中，分享了三名男子在标题，*伙计们正在模仿一枚硬币。”

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] 首次定义了该术语，将其定义为“无需研究即可快速投资某事物的行为”。

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.

整个 2020 年代，其他几家与加密货币相关的博客都对 Apeing 进行了定义，其中包括 2022 年 3 月 11 日的 CoinMonks Medium[3] 页面，其中包含有关 apeing 含义的漫画。漫画声称该术语的灵感来自于无聊猿游艇俱乐部的成功，然而，这一点尚未得到证实。它还将 apeing 拼写为“aping”，这是与加密相关的不太常用的拼写。

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.
