The absolute worst part about launchpads is measuring “how high x coin can go” based on what launchpad it was launched on. It caps ceilings massively. People don’t expect memes to flip the launchpads and so far have been right. Bring back manual deploying.

I like this. We've reached a point of limited ROI on trying to onboard crypto natives, in that most of us already use/have used everything here. It makes sense from a business perspective to look at where the puck is moving – the "long degeneracy" thesis in the age of the K-shaped economy – and onboard retail specifically outside of crypto. Better to onboard 1 million people with $10 each and give them the toolset/understanding to try and compound that, versus the doomification narrative of "don't try, the system is rigged", etc., that mainstream/tradfi would have you believe. At the end of the day, the industry needs capital/liquidity injections + fresh market participants with new mindsets/values/goals to take us into the next decade and beyond. There's not a single "correct" way to play crypto, and pump is proving that being dynamic/everything at once is the model. And yeh, people will try to FUD this for not aligning with some preconceived/high-and-mighty notion of what crypto is, when in reality, we are constantly evolving, and any new market participant is +EV for the future of this industry.

Literally this. We had $CASHCAT and the first wave of memes on RH. And then memefi/tokenization of stocks. $AI and $PONS handed generational wealth to a lot of people. The market felt PvE. People were holding longer. Believing in higher ceilings. $STONK launched about a month later and created another wealth effect on SOL. But the whole reason people got excited about the space again was SOLELY because of what Robinhood started. You could see other chains getting their shit together and competing with $MARSCOIN as well. I think that was good for the entire space. Since Robinhood has "died" these past couple months onchain has been shit. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

Is @theunipcs delusional or smart? $PONS is down 73% from ATH, with daily revenue crashing from $2M to just $36K (98% drop) Only 1.1K launches today vs 36K at peak His PONS uPNL went from $10M to $2.7M now (Still no sells on fomo) 4 days ago he said: “PONS will lead the next RH season, and the next wave will be even bigger” No real catalyst in sight right now, No Vlad moment/runner Conviction or Copium?
