[ SLANG ][ CRYPTO ][ NOUN ]
A trading environment where profit for one participant comes directly at another participant's expense — rather than value being created collectively — framing meme coin trading as a zero-sum contest between traders rather than a shared-upside investment.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Stop thinking of this as investing, it's a PvP market, your profit is literally coming out of someone else's exit."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'PvP' (player-versus-player) from gaming vocabulary, applied to crypto trading to name markets where the honest framing is competing against other traders rather than investing in shared growth.
