I assume you meant "percolating", but you very nearly spelled "speculating", which, given the crypto, seems more appropriate.

And of course, peculation means misappropriating or embezzling funds. Again, given crypto (and certain notorious crypto exchanges), even more appropriate.

FWIW, I would not have known 'peculating' was a real word with a meaning if GP hadn't explained.
