  The 'this' keyword in cryptocurrency smart contracts refers to the current contract instance. It allows the contract to access its own state and functions. Think of it as a way for the contract to refer to itself. For example, if you have a smart contract for a token, the 'this' keyword can be used to access the token's balance or transfer functions within the contract itself. It's an essential tool for building self-referential logic in smart contracts.
