  In the English-speaking cryptocurrency community, the term 'scalping' is often used to describe the practice of buying and selling cryptocurrencies quickly to take advantage of small price fluctuations. It can be considered similar to the concept of 'mata lo' in the Chinese cryptocurrency community. Scalping is a trading strategy that aims to make quick profits by executing multiple trades within a short period of time.

  Yes, in the English-speaking cryptocurrency community, the term 'flipping' is commonly used to describe the act of buying a cryptocurrency and then selling it quickly to make a profit. 'Flipping' can be seen as a more general term that encompasses the concept of 'mata lo'. It is often associated with short-term trading and taking advantage of price volatility.

  While I cannot speak for the entire cryptocurrency industry, I can share my personal experience as a trader. In the English-speaking community, we often use the term 'quick flipping' to describe the act of buying and selling cryptocurrencies rapidly for profit. This practice is similar to 'mata lo' in the Chinese community and is commonly employed by traders who aim to take advantage of short-term price movements.
