Hsaka is a pseudonymous trader active since 2017 whose charts, one liners, and perp market reads have made "Hsaka tweeted" shorthand for a market moving post on Crypto Twitter.

Hsaka is a pseudonymous trader and market commentator who has posted on X as @HsakaTrades since December 2017, making the account one of the longest continuously respected trading voices on Crypto Twitter. Profile trackers place the account around 598,000 followers as of August 2026, with a bio reading "I trade, I drink your milkshake," the oil drinking line from There Will Be Blood. Nothing reliable is publicly known about the person behind the account, and no credible reporting has identified them. As of August 2026 the account had posted nothing original for roughly seven months, an unexplained silence that Crypto Twitter discusses in the register of a disappearance.

Trading style

Hsaka's output blends technical reads with memes: annotated charts of orderbook depth, liquidation cascades, and cross exchange pricing on venues like Binance, OKX, and Hyperliquid, delivered with a dry humor that separates the account from conventional signal sellers. Profiles by CoinLaunch describe a focus on perpetual futures, credit the account with lexicon entries like "there is no second best market" and "dopamine-starved degens," and note it as an early public supporter of Hyperliquid. Unlike trench era callers, Hsaka rarely promotes small tokens; the account's influence operates at the level of majors and market structure, which is precisely why memecoin traders in the trenches watch it for regime signals, treating a bullish Hsaka chart as permission to take risk further down the curve.

A December 2024 post is the canonical sample of the register: "Top performers (top 100) since the election. If you caught none of these, you're not locked in enough. If you caught all of these, you need to quit trading and seek help." The account is also remembered for cryptic signal posting that followers treated as a puzzle. As one May 2026 retrospective put it, "In 2022 big accounts (hsaka) would tweet 'the boiled frog enjoys a milkshake on a hot summer day' and you had to decipher that meant luna is about to blow up," a piece of community lore about the style rather than a verified decoding.

Documented calls

Press citations give the account a paper trail beyond screenshots. CryptoSlate cited Hsaka on November 25, 2020 observing an entity market selling about 30 million dollars of ETH on ByBit, wicking the price from around 600 to 485 dollars. DailyCoin, in a December 2023 profile, describes the approach as fundamental and news driven and highlights his prediction that Vitalik Buterin would donate his gifted SHIB to charity, which happened shortly after.

Influence

The account's longevity is its own credential. Hsaka posted through the 2018 bear, the March 2020 crash, the 2021 mania, and the FTX collapse, during which the account publicly condemned Sam Bankman-Fried's post collapse media tour in November 2022. The "Hsaka effect" has a paper trail going back to 2021: during the Fantom run a trader wrote "1/3 of fantom's fundamentals currently is basically just hsaka tweeting about it," and the account's periodic AFK announcements were mourned in real time ("Certificate of Hsaka going afk and not advising. rip," February 2022). The association with SEI survives mostly as humor about that market moving power: "hsaka would post a pic of goku and sei would candle 30%."

Because the account goes quiet for stretches and returns near turning points, "Hsaka is posting again" is treated as a soft market indicator, a running joke with the structure of a top signal and bottom signal. In 2026 usage, "the hsaka meme" is trench shorthand for a chart going vertical; traders write "above that and we pull up the hsaka meme" when a breakout confirms. Screenshots of Hsaka one liners circulate as Crypto Twitter proverbs, and the account is a fixture of every list of trading accounts worth following, an institution in a scene where most callers last one cycle. In the vocabulary of the trenches Hsaka is often held up as the opposite of a paid KOL: an account whose reputation rests on charts aging well rather than on placements.

Late 2025 record and the 2026 silence

The account had already gone dark once in 2025; when it returned on October 10, 2025 with a bare "gm" that drew 7,111 likes, a reply captured the ritual: "hsaka emerges from his slumber (WHERE THE FUCK YOU BEEN)." The weeks that followed were a final burst of the classic register: "slurped a little" (October 29), "closed everything at breakeven yesterday btw" and "wintermute must be stopped" (October 30), and a November 3, 2025 open letter to Binance about perp listing dilution, "nance on track to list more perps this year than the past 3 years combined. fix this, for the sake of the industry (and your business)." He advised the "3000 perp dexs in the works" to just copy the Binance and Hyperliquid interfaces because "the click trader hates having to retrain its muscle memory every month," and condensed the structural worry into one line: "eventually at this rate the casino will dry out due to infinite dilution, there'll be more perps than active traders." A Merry Christmas post on December 25, 2025 was among the last before the account went quiet.

TwitterScore flagged the account as inactive with no original posts for seven months as of August 19, 2026, meaning nothing original since roughly January 2026. No explanation, retirement announcement, or confirmation of any kind has been posted, and the silence should not be read as a confirmed exit. Crypto Twitter mourns anyway: August 2026 posts include "I miss Hsaka," "rip hsaka," "hsaka will return in Avengers: Doomsday," "btw, what happened to Hsaka?" and "If only Hsaka was alive to see this." He still makes the all time lists in absentia: an August 12, 2026 viral "Top 5 crypto traders all time" joke list places Hsaka seventh, and a shitpost eulogy from the same month runs "Let them say I traded in the time of Cobie... GCR, Insilico, Hsaka, Su Zhu." Ansem participates in the return mythology ("this is how i imagine hsaka looks when he returns to ct"), and an August 5, 2026 post filed him with the departed legends of prior cycles: "god i feel like a boomer cus who tf are these people. rip hsaka degenspartan gcr nomad etc."

One recurring strand of the discourse claims the account changed hands, with posts on the late 2025 return asserting "Hsaka 100% sold his account, comparing his early tweets to his tweets now, completely different in almost every way, the language, the nomenclature, the phrasing." This is community speculation with no evidence, best understood as a genre of Hsaka discourse rather than a finding.
