laptop: the first 3 hours, minute by minute

Prices are our own one-minute records. Buys vs sells are counts of trades in the past 5 minutes, not dollars. Times are UK time. Where our live records had a gap, we used the coin's case file or DexScreener prices every 2 minutes; each event names its source.

   The price is up 289% over the last hour (3.9x).

   An hour later the price was 90% lower than when we logged this.

   Our read: paid attention arriving after a 3x move gives the early holders a crowd to exit into.
