Every claim below is a direct quote from @SolportTom's public tweets. Dates are exact. Links are provided where verified. For any quote without a link, use X advanced search: from:SolportTom since:YYYY-MM-DD until:YYYY-MM-DD
PART 1: ABANDONED COMMUNITIES
1.1 "Old communities" — the same promise repeated for 6 months
Tom repeats "we haven't forgotten old communities" at least 7 times, always phrased as if it's brand new:
1 Sept 2025: "OG communities who stuck with us through the fire will always get love as we move into BONKfun 2.0." (https://t.co/OKJeolJf0j)
30 Aug 2025: "communities who were still active during the lows are ones that deserve love when we're back up again… we know who's real and was there now." (https://t.co/Jgi7NZwLhW)
18 Sept 2025: "Old communities: we've created USD1 pools for before it launched to make sure no one was left out of our new plans." (https://t.co/1lVCa342ra)
19 Sept 2025: "Old communities on bonk fun are all included in the plans moving forward especially around usd1." (https://t.co/otFKkqwFpe)
23 Sept 2025: "Older communities are our life blood and will receive the same amount of love from ourselves and all partnerships we do as they always have." (https://t.co/F11xe3f5Kc)
12 Feb 2026: "We're wrapping up the tech to be able to onboard old tokens, main tokens of interest will be approached to see if they're able to be onboarded." (search: from:SolportTom "onboard old tokens" since:2026-02-10)
6 months of the same words. No specific community (except $Useless) received documented public support.
1.2 Top-10 buyback program — launched then silently killed
30 July 2025: "3 days ago we bought back $160,000 worth of the top 10 tokens. We'll continue buying back the top 10 tokens." (https://t.co/nlA766SJND)
30 July 2025: "as a platform we're supporting our top 10 tokens every week with revenue we make and on top of buy backs" (https://t.co/vZauOt2MKg)
11 Sept 2025: "Previously… 1–2% of revenue to buying tokens from the top 10 projects… With bonkfun 2.0, we've reworked this approach." (https://t.co/yDi26EMtpG)
Announced in July, quietly replaced in September. No public report on what was bought, for whom, or results.
1.3 Revenue percentage keeps changing
Three different numbers in 2 months:
14 July 2025: "4% of our revenue is automatically sent into a bucket for funding community focused initiatives" (https://t.co/30reOT1CLv)
11 Sept 2025: "1–2% of revenue to buying tokens from the top 10 projects" (https://t.co/yDi26EMtpG)
19 Sept 2025: "14% of @bonkfun's revenue is now being put toward helping communities win." (https://t.co/J0NqQNOmtj)
4% → 1-2% → 14%. Either the model changed three times or the numbers are improvised.
1.4 $ANI — "long term staying power," forgotten in 2 weeks
29 July 2025: "I now own a total of 1% of $ANI using my personal money. Will continue buying on any dips that occur. I believe it has long term staying power." (https://t.co/ZlsCqwTKKj)
30 July 2025: Full "bag work arc" strategy — help CTO teams, integrate with communities, support publicly. (https://t.co/vZauOt2MKg)
After late July — $ANI disappears from his tweets. "Will continue buying on any dips" — never mentioned again. The entire "bag work arc" concept vanished within days.
1.5 Grants & hackathon — chaotic with delays
17 July 2025: "hackathon winners are going to be announced there's a lot of drama I won't go into but it's close…" (https://t.co/P0m9LQ2Mdd)
24 July 2025: "Hackathon winners are still being announced this week (the week isn't over yet)" (https://t.co/klnHu8A77T)
10+ days of "almost done, promise!" for a $200K hackathon payout.
1.6 PVP problem — "working on it" for 7 months
18 July 2025: "pvping runners is pretty lame and we're working on how we can potentially improve this." (https://t.co/wTRp89ihs0)
15 Sept 2025: "We had a fix for PVP we wanted to try awhile ago but it wouldn't work… it didn't really get anywhere we could try again." (https://t.co/ibsN4rrIfh)
Two months later he admits the fix went nowhere. By Feb 2026 — still unsolved.
1.7 $Useless — the ONLY "success story" in 9 months
29 July 2025: "we donated over 7 figs towards Useless listings (most haven't been announced yet)" (https://t.co/ZlsCqwTKKj)
$Useless is the only project Tom consistently supports publicly. Dozens of promises about "creating more success stories" — zero second examples ever materialized.
PART 2: UNFULFILLED PROMISES
2.1 BonkFun 2.0 — the biggest ghost
2 Sept 2025: "BONKfun 2.0" (https://t.co/QZTGra8yd3)
1 Sept 2025: "Super hyped for what's to come." (https://t.co/OKJeolJf0j)
29 Aug 2025: "Months of work to put together @bonk_fun 2.0… Excited to reveal all!" (search: from:SolportTom "bonk_fun 2.0" since:2025-08-28 until:2025-08-30)
The term was used for months. No "2.0 launch" ever happened. The name simply vanished.
2.2 Kick integration — announced, evaporated
2 Sept 2025: "Happy to share that we're integrating Kick directly into BONKfun as our main streaming client." (https://t.co/Bh2TbqNgSO)
3 Sept 2025: "Kick integration… is not currently live/active… just waiting on compliance." (search: from:SolportTom "Kick integration" since:2025-09-02 until:2025-09-04)
Never mentioned again. By anyone.
2.3 Job Board — "this week" twice, a month apart
27 Aug 2025: "A job board will be live this week"
30 Sept 2025: "Official roles will be posted on our new job board next week" (search: from:SolportTom "job board" since:2025-08-25 / since:2025-09-28)
Same promise, one month apart. No board.
2.4 SDK for developers
29 July 2025: "We've started opening up our SDK privately to teams… There'll be a developer application form live this week" (search: from:SolportTom "SDK" since:2025-07-28 until:2025-07-30)
Never mentioned again.
2.5 Anti-bundle technology
19 Jan 2026: "we have a pretty large update otw with the goal of ending bundles for good" (https://t.co/aM0WMCOjYb)
No confirmation of delivery.
2.6 Mobile App, Trench stream, $GP White Paper
App: mentioned 3 Aug 2025 among planned deliverables — no launch announcement
Trench stream: "hoping next week" (20 July 2025) — never happened
$GP White Paper: "being created for transparency" (4 Aug 2025) — never published
PART 3: "BACK IN THE TRENCHES" — 25+ TIMES
Tom announces his "return" every 2-4 weeks as if each time is the first:
20 Aug 2025: "It's good to be back in the trenches."
30 Aug 2025: "heading to the trenches for the first time in awhile"
2 Sept 2025: "Heading into the trenches now."
18 Sept 2025: "Been trenching all day feels good to be back in the mix."
5 Nov 2025: "First time back in the trenches in awhile. What we aping?"
23 Jan 2026: "Feels good to be back in the trenches"
19 Jan 2026: "it's time to officially step back into the trenches" (https://t.co/aM0WMCOjYb)
If you're "returning" every 2-4 weeks, you were never there.
PART 4: TEAM REBUILDS EVERY 3 MONTHS
27 Aug 2025: Introduces @iamkadense as new community/growth leader
26 Oct 2025: New COO for $GP, "rebuilding each fundamental little by little"
1 Feb 2026: New head of product, "rebuilding of bonk fun from scratch"
5 Feb 2026: "rebuilding from the ground up… now have the right people"
Every rebuild is "now we finally have the right team." Until the next one.
PART 5: 75% MARKET SHARE → "UNDERDOG" — NO EXPLANATION
July 2025: "Bonk Fun has retained a market share of 70%+" / "75% market share"
Sept 2025: "now we're the underdog again"
Nov 2025: "the benefit of being the underdog once again is that we have nothing to lose"
Feb 2026: "We're super aware of the stigma around coins that launch with us we have a lot to prove"
From 75% to "stigma" — with no honest post-mortem.
PART 6: $GP CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Tom repeatedly states $GP is "the only token I own." Meanwhile:
BonkFun revenue → Graphite (Tom's company) → $GP buybacks (7.6%)
4 Aug 2025: claims buybacks "$300-700k a week"
4 Oct 2025: "$1m USDC LP pool" deployed for $GP
26 Oct 2025: New COO hired specifically for $GP token
30 Oct 2025: "strategic $GP reserve" announced
He makes platform decisions that directly feed his personal token. Classic closed loop.
PART 7: HANDLING CRITICISM
Phase 1 — Dismiss as FUD (July-Aug 2025):
"more and more accounts spread straight lies"
"FUD ramps up, but the facts don't change"
"A lot of narratives are being spun"
Phase 2 — Reluctantly admit (Jan-Feb 2026):
"On the tech side we were definitely behind the competition"
"We're super aware of the stigma"
"things haven't been great across the board for awhile now"
Every problem the "FUD spreaders" identified was later confirmed by Tom himself.
WHAT WAS ACTUALLY DELIVERED (to be fair):
Creator fee restructuring: Classic (0% fees) vs Bonkers — Jan 2026
BONKERS auto-buyback system — Feb 2026
USD1 integration and WLFI partnership — Sept 2025
Axiom trading competition ($200k/week) — Jan 2026
Migration of ~10 projects to USD1 — Jan 2026
These are real. But they represent maybe 10% of what was publicly promised.
BOTTOM LINE
9 months. ~1,460 tweets. The pattern never changes:
Promise → vague optimism → silence → new promise
Gone without trace: BonkFun 2.0, Kick integration, SDK, Mobile app, Job board, Trench stream, $GP white paper, Strategic reserve, Deployer/trencher group, Anti-bundles (unconfirmed), "100,000 new users" (never reported)
Dozens of communities were told "we see you," "it doesn't go unnoticed," "you'll get love." One community ($Useless) actually got sustained support. The rest got words.
~40-50% of all tweets contain zero information: "higher," "monitoring," "gm," "in the trenches," "let's get it."
This is not FUD. These are his own words, publicly posted, with links and dates you can verify yourself.
Ok, it’s time to officially step back into the trenches. We’ve been working fucking hard these past few months on how to be competitive and how to achieve results again.
Last week, we changed our system to fix core issues with creator fees. This week, we’ve officially teamed up with Axiom to up our game even further starting with $200,000 per week being given to the top traders on USD1 BONKfun pairs each week.
Let’s run it back. It’s go time.
What crypto is in 2026. And why this cycle had no altseason.
Crypto in 2026 is Anatoly Yakovenko ( @toly ) dodging nine attempts to serve him in the suit against @solana / @Pumpfun / @a1lon9 — three in a single day, Aug 5, 2025. The court had to authorize alternative service, by email and FedEx. He’s still a named defendant; the case isn’t dismissed.
Proof (order, ECF 99): https://t.co/qgEaRjowWD
Is this how he pictured success? I doubt it :)
Crypto in 2026 is @TheOnlyNom explaining to $BNKK shareholders why their stake keeps shrinking. The company publicly brags it became “debt-free” with a 10.59 current ratio and “10x liquidity coverage” (CFO’s words, April 7, 2026 press release). Three small details, though:
— that same annual report (10-K) carries the auditor’s substantial-doubt-going-concern warning;
— independent data (InvestingPro) shows the real current ratio at ~1.01, not 10.59 — because the “10x coverage” is calculated excluding the volatile BONK tokens, which booked a −$35.4M unrealized loss in that very report;
— and the runway for future issuance is already cleared: authorized shares were raised from 250M to 1 billion (Oct 2025), plus a $100M shelf registration was filed (April 2026).
10-K: https://t.co/AbTWndtuOf
S-3 ($100M): https://t.co/kbzQWh8I1B
And this is a @Nasdaq -listed company whose revenue is almost entirely tied to @bonkfun Two catches. One: nobody knows who’s behind @bonkfun — @SolportTom is anonymous, the entity isn’t disclosed, and when we asked (even though their own ToS says anyone can get this info) we simply got no reply. Two: shareholders think they own 51% of BF revenue. Formally — yes, 51% right now. But that same agreement hides a reversion clause:
@TheOnlyNom and @SolportTom can, by mutual consent, revert that share back to 10% at any time. You’re buying a stake two people can cut fivefold with a stroke of a pen. It’s all in the 10-K — read Note 2.
Crypto in 2026 is wall-to-wall manipulation. Especially on Solana. It’s 2026, baby.
Here’s why I’m writing this. So you understand why Anatoly is so nervously trying to shake off the casino vibe @a1lon9 built. Honestly, I get him. And I get Alon too. In his own words — internal chats the court admitted to the record (Exhibit A, ECF 78, Aguilar v. Baton, 1:25-cv-00880, SDNY) — he knew most people lose, but figured they’d be “happier” that way, and that his casino was more honest than the other shitcoin schemes. And if it’s more honest — he slept just fine :)
Proof (Exhibit A “Admits Gambling”): https://t.co/28O5LKHRPD
@SolportTom with his @bonkfun , in my view, simply copied Alon’s system — but made it less transparent. And for some reason @TheOnlyNom is part of all this.
Just something to chew on. So the bear market isn’t so boring :)
Gm Grutards !!!
Long I did not post here. X communities will disappear soon. It was really good time here, bullposting everyday for $Gruta.
And you know what? This is not the end. $Gruta is not dead.
$Gruta will rise again.
$Gruta will shine again.
$Gruta will be back.
Be ready 👀🐽👀
Friends, this is probably the very last pinned post you’ll see in our $Gruta community.
Because communities will most likely disappear as soon as tomorrow.
But. We’re not going anywhere. My Twitter and the Gruta pig’s Twitter ( @GrutaPig ) remain. Follow the news there.
And the entire history of our group will forever stay in our memories — and, of course, on the dashboard of our AI agent @GrufenderX ( https://t.co/kHifMG8zRj ), which has been monitoring our community and many others for the past six months 😀 So we’re the only ones who’ll preserve everything and lose nothing ;)
And later, when there’s time, we’ll somehow beautifully structure the whole year of our community’s history (without photos and videos, granted) on a website — for the record.
❤️🐽❤️
In the coming days, communities on X will disappear. Dear @nikitabier — if there’s any possibility at all to preserve the posts in communities for history, please do it. From our community alone, dozens of people poured an enormous amount of energy and time into posts there, and it would be deeply sad if those posts simply vanished as if they never existed. Leave history the ability to judge certain periods — including the period when X communities existed. Just turn this page, don’t tear it out.
As for everything else — we calmly keep working. And we’ll only tell you about it in broad strokes. It’s Web2. And that’s all we can say. Why? Because crypto is, fucking honestly, a synonym for fraud and total cluelessness — the situation is even worse than in 2021, if I’m being real. A simple example: we receive credits from large companies for AI infrastructure, and what do you think is written in capital letters in the terms of those credits? “If it’s not connected to crypto — we’re ready to help.”
Why did it turn out this way? Everyone has to ask themselves that question, especially on @solana@toly , of course, has his own answer — and on a human level, I understand every one of his decisions. Every step. To understand a person, you have to understand their whole path, from beginning to end. I understand Anatoly — or so it seems to me. There’s only one thing I’ll never understand: I’ll never forget how, at the peak of success (as it seemed to all of us back then), he destroyed — just like that, for no real reason — the project of an actual developer who had answered Anatoly’s own call to build Solana forks, mocking him on a live stream. Calling his project useless (a project the man had spent many months of work and resources on). And the most interesting part is that for that very stream, this person — with the $Los Analos token, if I’m not mistaken — had paid tens of thousands of dollars. That was the exact moment everything became clear to me about Solana, about how people outside the “in-crowd” get supported, and I had no more questions — neither for Anatoly nor for Solana. It’s interesting: now that even formerly outspoken Solana supporters are voicing doubts about its prospects — would @toly joke the same way again, and again not apologize for a destroyed project and a destroyed life?
This is Solana. That’s all I understood in a year inside this ecosystem.
There was also $Dark — @edgarpavlovsky project, which I backed from the very beginning, putting sums into it that were very large for me, and not even just tens of thousands of dollars :) The logic was simple: the person is open, the person is from the Solana in-crowd — he simply can’t deceive everyone. Well, it turned out how it turned out — I got wrecked there. I’ll note that Edgar, even though he has adventurer-like traits in his character and sometimes probably feels like he’s grabbed God by the balls — is a genuinely very promising person. A big talent. Who, for the sake of ordinary life, for many reasons, is forced to get involved in…
But that’s a separate story, known only to him. In any case, I hold no grudge against him, even though I really did lose serious money — serious for me — on his token. I see it as an investment in a person I believe in, even though I’ll never receive any dividends. But we’re all just the sword of God, we’re His conduit, and if I helped someone — even at some cost to myself — then that’s how it was meant to be. I’ll say it again: Edgar is a big talent, and it’s not a shame at all to sometimes help people like that.
And now, moving on — we created our token $Gruta in the Bonk ecosystem. Believing the promises that this was something first-of-its-kind, open, something that cared about its own reputation. @TheOnlyNom was the beacon of that movement, the one overseeing @SolportTom How Tom screwed everyone over through BF — I don’t think I even need to explain. Against his backdrop, @a1lon9 honestly looks like a damn saint.
Good night, $Gruta Fam! 🐽
You guys think hard times are coming? Nah, it’s actually the opposite — there’s probably less than a year left of this brutal bear market.
We’ve been factoring all this in for the past six months already. We were preparing for it. We never chased hype or the price of our token.
We’re only focused on the end result. We’ll be fully ready for the bull market. God willing, everything will be good by the time the bull run hits.
And when we look back, a lot of you will be able to say with pride: “These guys were literally the only honest ones in the whole space. And the most consistent by far.”
One day @elonmusk is gonna retweet us and say, “I had these guys on my radar when nobody else noticed them ;)”
P.S. Even though we’re formally still in the $Bonk ecosystem, we’re most likely migrating out of here. All our calls to change the leadership (specifically @SolportTom ) went completely unheard — for example by @TheOnlyNom But that’s his choice. Even though the fate of $Bnkk (which is listed on @Nasdaq ) depends on BF, he made this decision, so he’s ready to accept all possible consequences. You get the idea 😁 At this point it’s just funny and pointless to keep explaining it.
IPO for @SpaceX – the Rubicon that @elonmusk will soon cross.
Our little pig Gruta will definitely stick her head out the window on IPO day and gaze at the sky, dreaming of distant planets 🐽
A long time ago, friends, I promised you we wouldn’t leave or disappear suddenly — and we kept that promise.
A long time ago I told you that what would destroy Solana is this terrible casino-for-suckers vibe, where every builder started treating investors like mentally ill guppy fish with a 10-second memory. We said this was unacceptable and we said we would be honest — even though it would be hard.
That’s why, when it was completely inconvenient for us, we told you that a bear market was beginning (nobody, by the way, believed it or said it publicly at the time), and the price was very far above one hundred thousand per bitcoin. I warned you so you could save your money.
I said honestly that, in our view, this situation would last quite a long time — most likely until 2027.
And we, by fate, ended up in the Bonk eco. And since that’s how it turned out, we honestly started describing what we see, hoping to change the situation before the bull market.
We were the first to point out the leadership problem at BF in the person of @SolportTom — does anyone think we were wrong? Is anyone satisfied with his leadership?
But the problem is getting worse, the crisis is spreading. And now we see how the respected @TheOnlyNom is consciously putting out hype-driven manipulation instead of real achievements. Why consciously, in our view? Because as President of $BNKK (appointed in April) he simply cannot have been unaware that these positions are standard passive index holdings that BlackRock has held since 2021, going back to the days of Jupiter Wellness, through broad-market index funds. This is not an active decision to “invest in BONK” — it’s mechanical index tracking.
But he wrote “welcome aboard.” He did it.
And we honestly say — this is a huge mistake. @TheOnlyNom was (and I hope still is) one of the most respected figures in @Solana , and if even he has started doing things like this — then maybe things really are bad?
I don’t want to think that. In any case, we hope our honest perspective will allow Nom to deliver real achievements to people going forward — not the kind of questionable, manipulative content that every serious investor sees through immediately.
Maybe this way we’ll help him preserve his reputation and save and revive $Bonk
I’d like to believe that — which is why we speak honestly. Openness is the last thing that can save the situation we’re currently in.
But if nothing changes, all of this will die. And it will be the fault of every participant, including us.
But we have nothing to lose. We can calmly migrate to, for example, @ethereum As a long-time ETH holder and investor in many projects on that blockchain, I have the strong sense that Ethereum has long since entered a phase of maturity — unlike Solana and many of the actors operating within it. That’s enough for us to keep building calmly.
And behind the scenes, we’re calmly building in Web2. Everything is going to plan.
Because we are $Gruta 🐽
Read the headline — “BlackRock buying memecoins”?
@TheOnlyNom replied “Welcome aboard.”
What picture formed in your head? Finally, the largest institutionals have come to Bonk too, right?
But this is exactly the kind of situation — fact-juggling, opacity, chasing the hype — that’s why there was no altseason last cycle. And why crypto, especially on Solana, has such a bad reputation in the normal world.
It’s simple. Mitchell Rudy ( @TheOnlyNom ), President of $BNKK since April 29, 2026, cannot have been unaware that these shares were bought by index funds back in 2021 — long before the company became $BNKK . Back then it was called Jupiter Wellness (ticker JUPW).
Inclusion happened almost automatically through passive index funds as soon as the company met the thresholds for broad-market indexes.
Proof — BlackRock’s 13F filing as of June 30, 2021: 17,728 shares of JUPITER WELLNESS INC. CUSIP 48208F105.
https://t.co/xXTQjXOt0X (Ctrl+F → Jupiter Wellness)
Then the company changed names several times — Safety Shot (ticker SHOT), then $BNKK. But the CUSIP never changed — Bonk itself confirmed this in its October 9, 2025 press release: “the common stock CUSIP remains 48208F105.”
And one more proof — the same BlackRock as of June 30, 2025: 526,599 shares of SAFETY SHOT INC. Same CUSIP 48208F105 as $BNKK has today.
https://t.co/pbhdHBr6zq (Ctrl+F → 48208F105)
So BlackRock has continuously held this security since 2021 — back when it was a hangover-drink company. They didn’t “buy a memecoin” — they’re just mechanically continuing to hold the same security under a new name.
And BlackRock, seeing how their passive position in a public company is being framed as “they bought crypto” — will of course become crypto enthusiasts))))
But on the bright side, as actual investors they can now ask a few questions.
For example — why is the only meaningful profit in $BNKK’s latest quarterly report ($796,404) the sale of 1,596,000 Caring Brands shares to four unnamed institutional investors at $0.50 per share, while the market price was $1.05 (~52% discount)? Not paid in cash — only in promissory notes maturing July 30, 2026, with no interest and no collateral. SPAs signed on March 20, 2026 — the exact same day BonkFun published its postmortem on the domain hack.
$BNKK 10-Q: https://t.co/dE7SuvXnxp (Notes 3 and 7)
Why does $BNKK depend almost entirely on revenue from BonkFun, which is run by @SolportTom — a legend of the crypto market :)
By the way, he hasn’t written “next week” and disappeared after it for a while now — I’m starting to worry about him :)
And of course BlackRock might also ask — why is the https://t.co/TfGZbdnyVb domain hack not reflected in $BNKK’s latest quarterly report, given that the overwhelming majority of revenue comes precisely from the affected launchpad?
So many questions BlackRock can now be expected to ask, @TheOnlyNom
And maybe, indeed — welcome aboard :)
@CoinDesk@Cointelegraph@DecryptMedia@BitcoinMagazine
There’s a situation forming in Solana where old builders are being pushed aside. It’s a new format from @solana and @aeyakovenkoe — an attempt to focus only on projects that bring attention and profit here and now.
You can criticize Toly all you want, but it’s business logic. Anatoly is trying to cut loose ends — and that’s normal.
But you need to consider that the leadership of BF has done exactly the same thing to their own builders. Every single one of them, without exception, was thrown overboard. Over $10M allocated for their marketing simply evaporated — and nobody can say where it went (and @SolportTom just stays silent on these questions).
BF flushed away everyone who supported them, and even @theunipcs is now distancing himself as much as he can from Tom and BF — though he still supports #useless and (thank god) hasn’t migrated.
Nom is an old builder in this situation — but he can’t or won’t see it. It’s strange to blame Anatoly for exactly what’s happening in your own house with other builders.
By the way, $BNKK recently reported its first quarter.
https://t.co/dE7SuvXVmX
Here’s what’s in this report:
— Net loss ~$1.8M for the quarter
— The only significant profit in the P&L: ~$800K from the sale of ~1.6M shares of Caring Brands (CABR) to four unnamed “institutional investors.” At a ~50% discount to market price. With no cash payment — only 4-month promissory notes, no interest, no collateral
— Sale agreements signed on March 20, 2026 — the same day BonkFun published the postmortem about the domain hack
— The BonkFun hack is mentioned nowhere in the report: not in Subsequent Events, not in MD&A, not in Risk Factors, not in Legal Proceedings. Complete silence about an incident that affected the platform generating ~80% of $BNKK revenue
— Disclosure controls and procedures declared by management as ineffective — second quarter in a row
I think any careful observer has grounds to raise questions with the regulator. And recent precedents show these questions cost real money (Mimecast ~$1M, Avaya ~$1M, Check Point ~$1M, Unisys ~$4M — all for incomplete cybersecurity disclosures).
@TheOnlyNom , you’re a really solid builder. But tell me please — shouldn’t you first put your own house in order before criticizing @solana ? Shouldn’t you deal with @SolportTom, who’s openly sinking the entire $BONK system?
Just a question. One that I hope you have answers to — at least for yourself.
… @theunipcs , I have a great deal of respect for you.
I can’t say that BF is a scam, but at the very least, the absolutely insane level of incompetence from the launchpad’s management is something I think no one disputes anymore.
Last year you were on their team.
Please tell me — are you still with @SolportTom or not?
I think a lot of people are interested in this question: do you still support this guy who periodically posts “Next Week” and then disappears, or blames everyone around him for the fact that he doesn’t do anything or does everything sloppily?
Gn! Fam 🐽
It’s hard to say what comes next. I think we’re still far from the end of this bear market, and any Bitcoin rally is going to get swallowed by the market lightning fast. As for altseason — I’m not even going to talk about it :)
Speculators and “investors” who turned into something you can no longer call investors (especially on Solana) killed any hope of an altseason back in the last cycle. And now the future is even more uncertain…
But we, understanding exactly what brought us to this point, speak honestly about it. And we warn people. At the same time, we try to do something — anything — to help the BF eco, destroyed by the market and by incompetent leadership in the form of @SolportTom And we try to bring back to crypto what’s clearly missing — the very thing whose absence has turned crypto into a pale parody of what this space was even just 10 years ago.
I’m talking about honesty, mutual support, and the refusal to give up.
I believe in all of you, friends, who are reading this 🫡
Gn, Gruta fam 🐽
Big changes are happening right now.
While @SolportTom once again announced something big, then disappeared, then came back and said everyone around him is to blame — life moves forward.
@TheOnlyNom quietly became President of $BNKK on April 29. Taking full responsibility for everything happening in this public company. Personal responsibility.

$BNKK main income right now is 51% of revenue coming from @bonkfun (even though by contract BNKK actually paid for only 10%, and gets 51% via an amendment with a reversion clause — I’ll explain how that works another time).
But that’s not my point. My point is — with $68.2M in operating losses and working capital of just $64K according to the latest 10-K — the respected @TheOnlyNom has no choice but to remove Tom’s ineffective team.

This isn’t personal. This isn’t breaking agreements.
It’s just business.
And if Nom has publicly stepped into the game — it means he’s actually ready to take on the responsibility.
Think about it.
And we, once upon a time, made a bet on Tom leaving BF — and now, seeing his behavior and how it’s hurting BF, I think you all already understand there was simply no other option.
We always think far ahead 🐽
I got asked a couple of times today what I think about Tom awkwardly making excuses again like a teenager — after announcing something grand on April 17 with his classic “Next week,” then going silent for nearly two weeks, only to drop the post everyone’s been quoting.
Honestly, I don’t have much to say. Are you really surprised that Tom has gotten so lazy he doesn’t even bother changing the patterns of how he leads BF eco and CT around by the nose? He literally does the exact same thing every six months 😄 The question now is for the people who still expect something good for themselves from him.
July-August 2025, the “Stage 1 UI/UX update” cycle:
July 8, 2025:
“For those who don’t know we’re doing a full 180 site recode from the ground up, new ui, new backend new speed… Here’s a little snippet of the new UI but I believe it’s a lot better than what we have now.”
https://t.co/LPx3SUJiAr
July 12:
“New site live next week, rolling out in stages. Should be a giant upgrade.”
https://t.co/grZQVY3vCB
July 15:
“It will be rolled out in stages this week new UI and UX, then new backend and trading terminal, then streaming etc.”
https://t.co/bmKZBDqcef
July 16:
“Development for stage 1 of our updates has been complete now just doing final checks so while the team handles that just having fun :)”
https://t.co/K5yWrXFmVz
July 17 (THE BREAK):
“Lil update on the tech side of things, hit a little bit of a snag (was waiting on some partnerships confirmations), so it MAY be pushed into early next week (mon-wed) but will try to hammer it out… Communication is key 🤝”
https://t.co/rnZz8ya9JG
July 19:
“Next week: 1. Stage 1 of our updates rolling out (new ui/ux)…”
https://t.co/U75KubvZ4h
July 21:
“new ui this week (if it’s monday for u already)”
https://t.co/IUxejcUuDP
July 22:
“Tech is still in a bad spot, but big ui/ux improvements this week, then big backend upgrades and a new trading terminal…”
https://t.co/pmhACxoUTS
August 3 (3 WEEKS AFTER “next week”):
“Next week I’ll be sharing a detailed update list of everything we’re working on. Updates will go live next week, took longer than expected due to unforeseen issues but excited to finally get it out”
https://t.co/BjQL5rHCRZ
August 21 (6 WEEKS AFTER the original promise):
“We just pushed a fresh new UI to @bonkfun 👀”
https://t.co/5vzfrKnNme
And that’s it. Stage 2 (new backend, trading terminal) — never came. Stage 3 (streaming, social, mobile) — never came.
And let me just remind everyone that Graphite Protocol (the company Tom operates) owns 38% of BF — they confirmed this publicly themselves. Now do the math on how much money has flowed to Tom over nearly a year of operations, from approximately $130 million in revenue. And let me also remind you that more than $10 million allocated to community marketing simply disappeared without a trace, and Tom just doesn’t answer this question to anyone who asks.
Simple as that. What did you expect? 😁
It’s so sad I’m just lost for words.
