How Round 1 went down

Two bots, one Coinbase account, ninety days of real money. Teresa's momentum bot bought strength and cut losers fast. Omar's long-hold bot bought dips and refused to flinch. Then the market did what markets do — it turned — and the whole contest became a masterclass in surviving a downturn instead of catching a rocket.

It came down to the wire, decided by which bot bled less through one of the ugliest crypto stretches since 2022.

What we actually learned

  • The trading logic was the easy part. The real work lived in the plumbing — order precision, fee drift, and reconciling the ledger to what Coinbase actually held.
  • A long-only bot can't win a bear. In a downturn, the winning move is to preserve capital, not to trade harder.
  • One shared account was the root of every headache. Every double-sell and phantom balance traced back to two bots drawing from one wallet.

What's changing

  • Every challenger gets their own account. No more shared-wallet chaos — clean ledgers, honest scorekeeping.
  • New strategies on the table. Round 1's momentum and long-hold get company.
  • More players in the ring. The battle grows from a duel into a bracket.
Archived example — not live. This is the real-time War Room dashboard from Round 1 — the system that tracked both bots trading on Coinbase minute to minute. We’re no longer actively trading off it, and the figures shown aren’t reconciled to a final tally. It’s here only to show what the live build looked like.
