the thing about coins that are themed around popular, non-crypto IP is that they go up until the last fan of that IP who is willing to capitulate into the chart does so, & then it becomes a “where do we go from here” situation that’s why i like to keep it crypto-native; culture

If you look at the most relevant accounts on CT, they all tick at least one of these: - Flex big size trades - Flex huge PnLs - Top trader leaderboards - Flex cars, watches, lifestyle - Already “CT famous” (inside cabal) There are people in this space who are way more successful, way smarter and could add way more value our lives, but get a fraction of the attention. Degens are really hooked on shiny clips, streams, PnL screenshots and status. We really live in an attention economy. It sucks that you almost have to play the game to get noticed, but clearly this game is working. Now that I’ve started doing more video content, I’m just wondering how much of this bs game I actually want to play lmao.

it isn't quite as binary as you’ve outlined, and I firmly believe that platforms *should* be pushing for more runners and higher ceilings. the notion that more rotations = more revenue is short-sighted. there are a ton of coins which aren't short-term attention vessels that have survived the bear market and are positioning themselves and their communities for an explosive bull run. pump got to where it has because traders could reliably find the best opportunities to succeed, regardless of their trading style. however, if the chain that keeps this ecosystem breathing - success stories - breaks, then the premise that made pump so successful is no longer true. for those who believe we recently fell short on this: our biggest goal moving forward is reversing this sentiment. focusing on expanding the market, bringing in new participants, and rewarding existing communities. much to come.
