Jeet
From Know Your Memecoin — the public memecoin database & daily-updated archive
A trader who sells quickly at the first hint of profit or trouble — used as insult, confession, and survival strategy.
Jeet Calling someone a jeet is both moral judgment and market commentary. In illiquid meme coins, early sellers can nuke a chart; later buyers call that betrayal.
Many trenchers proudly jeet. Holding bags through a rug is not always virtue — sometimes it’s just being exit liquidity.
Origin
The term spread through CT and Discord as a pejorative for weak hands. Launchpad culture turned it into a daily verb: “don’t jeet,” “he jeeted me,” “jeet season.”
Spread
Memes, stickers, and reply-guy culture cemented the word. It now sits beside older slang like paper hands, with a sharper trench-specific sting.
