However, when you appropriate a defined term, and claim a use for it exactly opposite of its accepted definition -- such as your misappropriation of anti-fragile -- you can expect to get called out on it.

The term (anti-fragile) in the textbook definition provided does not apply to either bitcoin or gold, so like I said, everyone solely uses the term in colloquial manner on this forum.  It wasn't me that popularized that term in the bitcoin ecosystem, so don't pretend like it's my fault.  In an evolving language, the colloquial definition would likely take over that supposed real one since the real one is more hypothetical and meaningless than anything.  Words tend to be superfluous and of no use if they have no application, so I expect such a word would just wither away and die otherwise.
