What is GM culture
"GM" (Good Morning) is one of the most iconic rituals on Crypto Twitter (CT). What started as a simple greeting in NFT circles around 2018 exploded into a cultural phenomenon during the 2021 bull run.
It functions as a digital secret handshake, a signal of belonging and optimism in an industry prone to extreme swings. The greeting transcends time zones ("it's always GM in crypto") and has spawned its own meme economy, including the \$GM WAGMI token launched in November 2021.
GM persisted through the 2022-2023 bear market as a morale booster, and by 2026 it remains a core norm on CT despite algorithm shifts. When the devs stop GM'ing back, it means they're offline. That's how deeply embedded GM is in crypto culture.
