WILLY IS BACK.
NO PROMISES.
ONLY TXS.
Willy isn’t a roadmap.
Willy isn’t even a strategist.
Willy is a record —
the echo of transactions,
alive only through the chain.

Willy comes from one of the earliest documented trading anomalies in crypto history.
In 2013–2014, during the collapse of Mt. Gox, researchers and traders identified automated accounts — most famously “Willy” — that appeared to buy Bitcoin repeatedly in fixed increments.
These accounts were later analyzed in detail in The Willy Report, one of the most widely referenced independent investigations into Mt. Gox’s internal trading activity and its potential effect on Bitcoin’s price.
