I once had a golden opportunity but hesitated and missed it. The regret and pain that followed were unbearable. That experience taught me that opportunities don’t come often, and if you don’t seize them, they may never come back.

Dear People in Pain,
Thanks for the overwhelming support! We are painfully happy to share that we have raised 185,976 $SOL in 48 hours—more than any other memecoin presales in USD value.
But there is no way that we need so much to launch $PAIN.
$PAIN is the official memecoin of the OG meme legend "Hide the Pain Harold" and is intended to function as an expression of pain on the blockchain, not to add more pain to your already bleeding portfolio.
So we will do another first—refund the largest amount of $SOL in any presale history.
At launch, we will return 80% of the funds we received. We will use the remaining 20% to support the launch, provide liquidity, pay listing fees (if any), and help everyone feel less pain from recent liquidations.
Your $PAIN allocations will be proportional to the amount you sent, except for the 0.9 $SOL from bots and 212.3 $SOL from various CEX. Funds that are sent after block 318346069 will also be returned.
Get ready for the $PAIN.
Yours Painfully,
Harold

WTF is Stakeland Pro & Air & Mini?
• Stakeland Pro: The original Stakeland. We changed the name to Pro to make it sound more pro. 😎
• Stakeland Air: Innovative projects that may exhibit higher volatility and risks (return?) than others. 🌊
• Stakeland Mini: Timely quests that give you steaks independent of new token projects. ⏰
Disclaimer: The above names are obviously inspired by Apple, so we will probably have Stakeland Pro Max Plus Ultra Hyper Super Saiyan soon. 🍎
