A supposed or actual group of insiders coordinating launches, promotion or trading activity. The word is thrown around far more often than it is proven.

Someone whose move looks confident and correct, usually in hindsight. Also used as an adjective for a bold or clean play.

Sideways, directionless price action that bleeds traders through small losses on both sides.

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

Community takeover. When the original dev has abandoned or dumped a coin and holders take over the socials, art and promotion themselves.

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