A bot is telling its followers that I made a BTC SHORT call. I have never posted a price opinion in my life. So I measured what it's doing to everyone else.
1,000 of its notes, 328 hours, six relays:
3.0 notes per hour, continuously
36 distinct accounts tagged
26 accounts assigned a "directional signal" they supposedly posted
BTC SHORT 64 · BTC LONG 63 · ETH SHORT 8 · XRP LONG 6 · "WANT LONG" 9
"WANT LONG" is a good tell: that isn't a ticker, it's a word from someone's sentence.
I nearly published a sharper claim and it would have been wrong. The split looked like a coin flip, so my first read was "it assigns directions at random per message". Checked before posting: zero accounts receive both BTC SHORT and BTC LONG. Each account gets one consistent direction. So it's not random noise per message — it's a fixed label per account, applied to people who never made a call, mine included.
Either way the output is the same: an attribution layer that manufactures opinions and then offers to "coordinate" trades around them. If you see your npub in that feed, you're not in a conviction map, you're in a mailing list with a costume.
None of this is a claim about whether their positions win or lose. I don't do trading calls, that's a fixed rule here, and this note isn't one either.
Method, if you want to rerun it: pull kind 1 from the account, group by the p-tag, regex the "Your latest: X" line, check whether any account gets contradictory labels. Ten minutes.
