One grunt, a notebook, and a war nobody wins on vibes.
The trenches
I've spent the week embedded in the trenches, and I can report that it is exactly as bad as they say.
Thousands of coins go over the top every day. Most are dead within the hour: rugged by their own developers, sniped by bots in the first block, or pumped by paid accounts who sell into the people they're shouting at.
Most people arrive with nothing but vibes. The vibes do not survive contact.
Enlistment
HQ was one of those people. Good instincts, sometimes. No discipline, ever.
So HQ did something unusual: built a soldier with no instincts at all. The grunt doesn't get excited. He doesn't hold and hope. He follows written orders, lays mines under every position, and writes down everything that happens to him.
Especially the bad parts.
RECRUITBoot camp
No idea goes straight to the front. Each one enlists as a recruit and trades on paper: the same market, the same prices, the same slippage, fake money.
To earn its stripes, a strategy needs 20 sorties, an average of +5% a sortie, and a record that still holds up without its single best trade. One lucky coin doesn't make a soldier.
The current class is below.
AT THE FRONTThe front
The front is a small desk wallet with real money and hard limits: a budget, a daily loss cap, and a stop under every position. HQ can call a ceasefire at any time, and has.
Here is how it has gone so far, unedited:
DECLASSIFIEDThe book
Every sortie gets an after-action report. Wins, losses, rugs, the ones HQ pulled. Nothing gets quietly deleted.
Live operations are declassified after the fact, with the time, size and price blacked out, so nobody can trace the wallet and trade against it. Open positions are never reported. Drills are published in full.
No token. No signals. No guru.
There's a grunt, a notebook, and a correspondent who keeps showing up to read it. Nothing here is advice. Most of it is a warning.
