Deliverables

1. Top 10 Groups or Whales by Volume / Influence
   

   • Estimate group size, trading volume (where possible), and main platforms.

   • OG status: when they started, how they evolved.

   • Level of activity today (daily chatter, signal groups, community growth).

   • Type of traders: retail whales, institution-like funds, OG Bitcoiners, NFT degen, etc.

   • How did the group start? (e.g., Facebook era, Telegram boom, Discord NFT wave).

   • Who are the founding OGs?

   • How do admins make money? (signals, courses, referral kickbacks, OTC fees).
     

2. Products & Tools Used
   

   • Centralized exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit, etc.).

   • Decentralized exchanges (Raydium, Jupiter, etc.).

   • Other tools: Telegram bots, copy-trading tools, OTC desks.
     

3. Behavioral Profile
