Alpha

Information someone thinks gives them an early edge in crypto: a lead, insight or tip others haven't spotted.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

A chat promising alpha is usually offering supposedly useful information about a project, launch or market. It may be a thoughtful observation, a rumor or a recycled screenshot dressed up as a secret. This slang use is different from the formal finance measure called alpha, and the label doesn't establish that the information is accurate.
