steve

In crypto, a steve is a dev who launches a token, leaves the project and later sees his token significantly rise up in value after his departure. This could also refer to panic sellers of the same token.

The word originates from the memecoin "pig by Steve" which was able to sustain its following even after its developer left it.

Can also be used as a verb to refer to the actions of being a steve.

Fuck steve. We can CTO this.
