Crypto Terminology

BTDF: what is it?

BTDF stands for "Buy The Dip Fren." It is a variation of the commonly used phrase "Buy The Dip" (BTD), with "Fren" reflecting the playful slang often used in crypto circles, especially on Solana. The expression is used to signal or encourage other traders to purchase a cryptocurrency or token during a market dip—when prices temporarily fall but are expected by participants to recover and rise.

BTDF has become a rallying cry and meme within Solana’s social and trading communities, symbolizing collective optimism and the strategy of accumulating assets during moments of fear or pessimism in the market. While not a formal financial strategy, it encapsulates the mindset of opportunistically buying during downtrends.

How It Works

  • When an asset on Solana (like SOL or a Solana-based token) experiences a sharp or sudden price drop, users post “BTDF” to signal that it could be a good moment to buy.

  • The phrase is frequently seen in trader chats, Discord groups, and social media posts.

  • “Fren” promotes a sense of camaraderie, encouraging others to join in, even if the market sentiment is temporarily negative.
