NGMI

Not going to make it - used to dismiss someone whose behaviour or conviction is judged inadequate, often for selling.

NGMI is the counterpart to wagmi and is usually aimed at people who take profits, express doubt, or leave a position. That makes it a social penalty for risk management, which is worth seeing clearly.

Communities that punish selling and reward holding are optimised for the holder's comfort, not for the member's outcome. A group in which nobody can say they reduced without being mocked will systematically produce people who did not reduce. See weak-hands.
