Description: A ‘jargonist’ is a person who uses specialized and technical language in discussions about technology. This term derives from ‘jargon’, which refers to a set of terms and expressions specific to a particular field, and ‘ista’, which indicates someone who practices or is dedicated to something. In the context of technology, a jargonist can be a developer, an investor, or an enthusiast who employs complex and specific terminology, such as ‘smart contracts’, ‘mining’, ‘hash’, ‘consensus’, among others. A jargonist’s ability to communicate using this specialized language can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. On one hand, it allows for precise and efficient communication among experts; on the other, it can create barriers for those unfamiliar with the topic. Jargonists are essential in the technology community, as they help disseminate knowledge and foster the development of innovations, although they may also be perceived as elitist if they do not make an effort to explain concepts to a broader audience. In summary, the jargonist is a bridge between technical knowledge and general understanding, playing a crucial role in the evolution and adoption of technology.
