Open any Nigerian crypto group on Telegram or X, and you’ll see the same two letters pop up again and again: GM.
At first, I thought it was just internet slang for good morning. However, the more I stayed, the more I realized that GM in Web3 is more than a casual hello. It’s culture. It’s identity. And yes, even in Nigeria, it carries weight.
What Does GM Mean in Web3?
GM means Good Morning in Web3, which is precisely what you already think. However, it has also taken on another layer. It’s not about the time of day. Instead, it’s a way of saying:
- I’m here, I’m active, I believe in this space.
- We move together, we rise together.
If you scroll through crypto Twitter (CT) or Telegram groups, you’ll see people throwing GM at all hours. Even when it’s midnight in Lagos, someone will still drop a GM. That’s because it’s less about the clock and more about signaling optimism.
GM as a Vibe, Not Just a Greeting
Think of GM as the Web3 handshake. It’s a low-effort way of showing presence. Some folks might drop charts, alpha, or memes. But even the quietest person can just type GM and feel part of the flow.
When I wake up and scroll through X (Twitter) or Discord, I see Nigerians dropping GM alongside people in Asia, Europe, or America. That’s the beauty: GM is borderless, yet each place flavors it differently. Nigerians might pair it with Pidgin, like GM my people, na we dey run am.
Bottom Line
So next time you see GM in your Nigerian Web3 circles, don’t brush it off. It’s not just keyboard energy. It’s a reminder that you’re part of a community betting on the future of the internet: whether the market is mooning or bleeding.
For me, typing GM is like telling everyone: Yes, I’m still here. I still believe. And for you? Maybe it’s time to test it out yourself. Drop a GM tomorrow in your favorite crypto group and watch how many respond. You’ll see it, the vibe is real.
