An apparently accidental statement that gives away or "leaks" alpha

Beta (Release) - An IT term to describe the second pre-production release of a piece of software. Usually software will have an alpha release, then the beta will include documentation added to the alpha, at which point the product is in final QA, then user testing, then release as a piece of production software. NOTE: Crypto projects, in particular DeFi, often skip all of the above and are released with no testing or documentation. See Ape In and Andre Cronje

This started as a stereotypical frat-boy - a young, wannabe alpha male with huge ego that looks a little like Jonny Bravo (for boomers that remember him). In crypto culture it has evolved to become somewhat of a compliment and means somebody that displays courage to make difficult, almost heroic decisions. Most often used to describe males but is also gender neutral. There are plenty of female chads in crypto.

A community messaging tool that, apart from CT, is the primary place for crypto and NFT projects to communicate with their community. It was originally used by gamers to chat while playing before cypto degens took over. Some Discords are known for their high quality members and the alpha that is shared there.

Dividing ownership of an asset such as an NFT or a Bitcoin into smaller fractions. As an owner, can help make illiquid jpegs liquid. As a buyer can be a great way to get access to a community or an alpha group.
