Community

Information or a pick that is supposed to give an edge. Paid alpha groups sell it; public alpha is usually already priced in.

Someone stuck holding a coin that has dropped a lot, unable or unwilling to sell.

Someone who posts coin picks to a Telegram channel or X following. Often enters before calling.

The holders and posters around a coin. In the trenches people often say the community is the product, partly because there is nothing else.

Crypto Twitter, now crypto X. The timeline where narratives start, coins get shilled and everyone posts their losses as jokes.

A coin community with intense loyalty, inside jokes and constant posting. The trenches mean it as a compliment.

Holding through drawdowns without selling. Admired when it works, ignored when it rides to zero.

Posting purely to collect likes, replies and followers, often with bait questions or giveaways.

Showing off gains, usually with a PnL card. The losses stay in the drafts.

Key opinion leader. An account with a large crypto audience whose posts can move a low-cap coin. Paid promotion is common and not always disclosed.

Moderators of a coin's Telegram or X community. Their silence after a dump says a lot.

Someone who sells at the first sign of weakness. The insult used by people who haven't sold yet.

A coordinated push where a coin's community floods a post or account with replies, likes and memes to get attention.

An account that replies to every big post, often to shill a coin or farm visibility.

Promote a coin, usually one you hold, often loudly and repeatedly. A shill is also the person doing it.

Telegram, where most coin groups, callers and trading bots live.
