Yesterday I went from making what I thought was a good trade on
$CATE to somehow becoming a community leader. Why? I honestly donβt know. I realized a lot of peopleβs first meme coin trade was CATE because they followed me over from Fomo.
If we want to keep those people around, we canβt keep repeating the same cycle where every coin runs to $10M, community leaders disappear, top blasters dump, and newcomers are left holding the bag. Thatβs how you lose retail.
When I saw that starting to happen, I felt like I didnβt really have a choice. Why would I even do this? I benefit very little. My public wallet has so many eyes on it that if I sold, it would probably hurt the project. I stepped up because I love this game and because I genuinely want to see this space heal and win again.
Then I wake up on day two to find malicious shorts and max-slippage bots targeting the coin. 17,000+ holders and someone is actively trying to kill the momentum? What is wrong with this space? I thought it was strange we did over $50M in volume without a Moonshot listing or even a mention from
@Pumpfun , but if the puppet masters donβt want us to win, so be it. Weβll push even harder.
My thesis hasnβt changed.
CATE doesnβt need endless catalysts. The narrative is the catalyst. Everyone knows DOGE. You donβt need to explain why a cat version resonates. Itβs instantly understandable to millions of people who remember DOGE.
Weβre already seeing retail show up. I gained over 120k Fomo followers in a month, and every day people DM me saying they want to learn how to trade. Thatβs how real adoption happens. One person tells a friend, then that friend tells another.
18k holders in the first day isnβt normal. Thatβs proof the story resonates.
The goal isnβt another short-lived PvP runner. The goal is to build the cat that sits next to DOGE on the Mount Rushmore of memecoins. A coin that brings normies back into crypto because the story is so simple anyone can understand it.
Maybe Iβm delusional.
Or maybe weβre watching the beginning of something much bigger.
