principle
/ˈpɹɪnsəpəl/
Be careful not to confuse "principle" with "principal". While they sound the same, "principle" always refers to a rule, law, or belief. "Principal" (with an 'a'), on the other hand, usually refers to the head of a school or the most important person or thing in a group.

💡
Jackson uses 'principle' to sound intellectually sophisticated while pitching a crypto scam. He uses the slang term 'ape into,' which means to invest heavily and impulsively in a cryptocurrency without doing proper research. Ryan's one-word response 'bet' shows his oblivious nature and casual agreement.
