In plain English

A smug crypto taunt aimed at sceptics, implying they'll miss out on getting rich.

Have fun staying poor (HFSP) is what a crypto believer types when someone doubts their favourite coin. It's half joke, half jab: "keep laughing while I get rich".

It tends to fly around most in a boom, when prices are up and confidence is sky-high. In the crash that follows, the phrase usually gets thrown straight back. Either way, it isn't an argument; it's a mood.
