$CATE

[PoorGoat🐂🐈 @PoorGoat_]

Hey @binance , @cz_binance , @coinbase , @brian_armstrong, @cobie, @RobinhoodApp @RobinhoodCrypto and @vladtenev - as the bull run comes back, I want you guys to take a look at what’s happening with $CATE on Solana.

CATE was born just 4 weeks ago. No team supply. No market maker. No massive insider allocation. Just a community that has quickly proven CATE is becoming retail’s coin of choice this cycle.

The thesis is intentionally simple:

This is the cat cycle. CATE will flip DOGE.

That’s it. Normies understand it immediately, and the numbers are starting to show what happens when you give retail a meme they actually understand.

In 4 weeks:

• 114K total holders
• 77K holders on Fomo alone
• 11K+ people in Telegram
• Thousands regularly joining Spaces
• CATE spreading across TikTok and other social platforms
• Thousands of physical CATE posters being put up around the world

And according to Fomo as of yesterday:

• 146K users have bought cate coin on the app at least once
• 38K bought CATE as their FIRST coin
• $173M in total CATE volume
• 24K unique users have posted a CATE thesis, totaling 500K+ thesis posts

That 38K number is the one I think matters most.

These aren’t just existing crypto traders rotating from coin to coin. CATE is bringing new people into crypto.

Here’s the volume from the last 5 days:

8/24: $37,773,450
8/23: $88,625,183
8/22: $37,545,379
8/21: $31,671,071
8/20: $12,579,449

I know all of you are focused on growing your own platforms, ecosystems and chains, so it would be easy to ignore a community forming around a coin on Solana.

But I think that misses the bigger opportunity.

The next wave of retail is coming. Right now, thousands of them are being onboarded through CATE and going to platforms like @fomo and @Pumpfun to buy it.

Why shouldn’t they also be going to Binance, Coinbase and Robinhood?

List CATE and suddenly a new user who came because they wanted to buy the funny yellow cat has an account on your platform. Maybe they buy CATE today. Tomorrow they look around and discover BTC, ETH, SOL, your ecosystem, and everything else you offer.

CATE isn’t asking exchanges to bring us users. We’re already bringing the users.

We’re 4 weeks in. The community is growing every single day, and I believe this is only the beginning.

Anywho, if you made it this far, I hope you see what I see.

And if you don’t, that’s okay.

I’ll check back in a week when Fomo has 150K+ CATE holders. 💛🐈

That Binance post looks VERY calculated 👀

$CATE blurred out right as the attention, holders & volume are exploding?

I’m not calling a Binance Spot listing — but they know exactly what they’re doing with that tease.

“Buy the rumor, sell the news” exists for a reason.

And we’ve seen what Binance exposure can do to Solana memes:

🥜 $PNUT: ~$128M → ~$1.3B in under 48 HOURS. ~10X

🤖 $ACT: exploded roughly 1,199%, reaching ~$279M after the Binance listing.

📕 $BOME: roughly +292% in a day, pushing toward $1B MC around its Binance Spot listing.

All born on Solana.

Now Binance has everyone staring at a blurred $CATE while this snowball keeps getting bigger.

Coincidence? Maybe.

But I’m paying attention. 🐱👀

$CATE

[PoorGoat🐂🐈 @PoorGoat_]

I hate that I’m even addressing this, but just use your brains for a second.

If CATE was some elaborate scam I was running with a bunch of side wallets to farm my followers, why the fuck would I do it this way?

I have 400k followers on Fomo. If my goal was to farm followers, there are infinitely easier ways to do it than spending 3 weeks rebuilding CATE after a 90% drawdown, just to supposedly do it all over again.

I could buy a random coin, post it, watch people follow me in and sell when it 10x’s. I could’ve signed with a trading platform and gotten paid to do nothing.

Instead, you think I nuked my own chart knowing I’d have to spend the next 3 weeks grinding nonstop at the bottom, rebuilding trust and growing the community, just so I could sell again the second we got back to the top?

THE THEORY DOESN’T EVEN MAKE SENSE

I know this space has fucked everyone over so many times that some of you can’t comprehend the idea of someone who makes enough money at his IRL career that he doesn’t need to farm his followers.

But guess what? I’m here.

I said we’d run it back at the bottom. I’m still here now and we’ll run it back again. Tunnel vision.

TRILLION DOLLAR CATE. 💛🐈

MY UPDATED $CATE THESIS

I wrote my original $CATE thesis on August 12th.

At the time, the thesis was simple:

Community beats rotation.

The market was full of people jumping from one narrative to the next, while $CATE had something that was becoming increasingly rare in this cycle — tens of thousands of people who actually cared about the same meme.

But two weeks later, the situation has changed.

$CATE has already experienced almost every stress test a memecoin can go through.

It went from a tiny community takeover to $84M all-time high. It accumulated more than 84,000 holders. More than 50,000 of those are on @fomo (Proof of real onboarding normies. Cate was and remains the biggest community on fomo till date) It became one of the most recognizable community memes on Solana. It got listed across major crypto platforms, including KuCoin Alpha and MEXC. And then, like almost every memecoin that moves that quickly, it got absolutely obliterated.

The market cap collapsed from 84M to 10M.

The easy money left.

The tourists left.

The people who were only there because the chart was going up left.

And yet the interesting part is:

the community didn't disappear.

That is where my thesis has actually become stronger.

Because it is very easy to build a community when your coin is going up 20% every hour.

It is much harder to maintain one after an 80%+ drawdown.

And that is exactly what $CATE has been forced to do.

Because my original thesis wasn't that $CATE would go up forever.

My thesis was that memecoins with genuine communities have a completely different survival curve from coins whose only product is price.

And now we're actually getting to test that.

THE FIRST PHASE WAS DISTRIBUTION OF ATTENTION.
THE SECOND PHASE IS DISTRIBUTION OF BELIEF.

This is the part I think people are missing.

Anyone can manufacture attention.

A KOL posts.

A chart goes vertical.

CT notices.

Everyone piles in.

The KOL gets engagement.

People start calling it the next billion-dollar coin.

Then liquidity rotates somewhere else.

We've seen this movie hundreds of times.

But attention is temporary.

Belief is sticky.

And the people still working on $CATE after the chart has already nuked are demonstrating something far more important than the people who bought the first breakout.

They're demonstrating that they actually want the meme to exist.

That distinction is everything.

There are currently people building around CATE beyond simply posting “buy the dip.”

The community has been discussing normie onboarding, TikTok/Instagram/YouTube marketing, IRL flyers, referral systems and other ways of taking the meme outside of the traditional CT bubble.

That is exactly the direction I wanted to see.

Because the billion-dollar memecoins of the future aren't necessarily going to be the coins with the smartest traders.

They'll be the coins that become brands.

CATE HAS AN ACTUAL ONBOARDING NARRATIVE.

This is probably the most underrated part of the entire thesis.

CATE isn't trying to explain some complicated DeFi mechanism.

There isn't a 38-page whitepaper.

There isn't some fake AI infrastructure narrative.

It's a cat.

And that sounds stupid until you remember what Dogecoin actually is.

The internet doesn't need another complicated crypto product.

It needs something people can understand in five seconds.

Dog = DOGE.

Cat = CATE.

That is an incredibly simple meme primitive.

And simplicity is an advantage when the objective is onboarding people who don't spend 14 hours a day staring at DexScreener.

The average newcomer doesn't want to understand wallet clusters.

They don't care about your obscure KOL rotation.

They don't want to trade 30 different coins every day.

They want something they can recognize.

Something they can send to their friend.

Something they can put as their profile picture.

Something they can emotionally attach themselves to.

That's what memes do.

SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?

$CATE isn't about any one individual, cate isnt another catcoin/memecoin it's a shared belief that is held by 84,000+ like minded people. It's a vision seen by thousands of people who are going to spread it to millions others. Cate is a statement to those who believe communities are dead. Cate is a movement against everything that is wrong in this space. Cate is a CAT with an E

Thesis remains the same:

Trillion. Dollar. Cate.

[Dan @dancrypto]

Not much left until the real fun begins.

$CATE went through an almost 90% correction, survived the flush, rebuilt from the bottom and is now approaching ATH again.

Think about how rare that is.

Most memes die after a drawdown like that.

$CATE came back with a bigger community, more holders and more engagement than before.

Only a handful of projects ever reach this level of conviction.

Break ATH and we enter a completely different game.

Price discovery is where the real fun begins.

[Dylan.Eth @dylansdegens]

People are forgetting that even Neiro, an adopted dog with only 30k holders, went to 1.3 BILLION MARKET CAP

Doge went to 88 BILLION MC

And u think 50M is late for doge’s cat counterpart in the 1st inning of the CAT SUPERCYCLE

DO U HEAR YOURSELF???

THERE IS NO CEILING HERE

[solangeles @solangelestv]

starting next week $CATE will officially have one episode every week on our solangeles tv show

welcome to the network 🎬

[PoorGoat🐂🐈 @PoorGoat_]

No better feeling in the world than when the whole timeline grave dances and counts you out.

Happy CATE ATH to those who celebrate. 😹

I came in with a dream: remind people that we can all win, onboard the world, and give new entrants a chance to win again.

Right now, everyone who bought $CATE and believed in the vision is up on their position.

Small milestone on the road to flipping DOGE. 💛🐈

[Bull.Path @Bull_Path]

[PoorGoat🐂🐈 @PoorGoat_]

Name another coin/community whose holder count keeps growing even on red days.

Price goes up. Price goes down. The army keeps getting bigger and louder.
