How It Works
Bulls VS Bears is a real-time trading battle that runs continuously, 24/7.
The Core Concept
Every time someone trades the token on pump.fun, they're automatically entered into the current round:
Buy the token = Join the Bulls team 🐂
Sell the token = Join the Bears team 🐻
No signup, no wallet connection, no clicking buttons. Just trade.

Why This Structure Works
Psychological Triggers

Decisions become emotional
Panic buying/selling kicks in
2. Real-Time Feedback

Watch your team winning or losing
Immediate gratification
3. Social Competition
See other traders winning
"If they can do it, so can I"
FOMO from watching others succeed
4. Near-Miss Effect
"Lost by 10 points"
"If I had just bought 0.01 SOL more..."
Guaranteed to play again
5. Variable Rewards
Prize pools change every round
Never know exact payout
Slot machine effect
The Flywheel
