Morphology
cryptocuck + joke
The phrase is compositional in that it combines 'crypto' (relating to cryptocurrency) + 'cuck' (a slang insult) + 'joke', so a speaker who knows those parts could infer it refers to a joke mocking cuckoldry within crypto culture. However, 'cuck' is informal/slang with socio-pragmatic and subcultural nuances and 'cryptocuck' is a recent internet coinage, so the meaning depends on cultural knowledge and is not fully predictable for an average B1 learner.
Etymology
The compound cryptocuck joke mixes crypto (short for cryptocurrency) and cuck (slang for someone seen as 'weak or betrayed'). It creates the image of a crypto investor being humiliated as prices fall, so the phrase is used to mock or laugh at people in crypto communities when their coins fail.
