i still believe in crypto because every now and then a normal broke guy from the trenches gets a real shot.
not because the game is fair. it usually isn’t.
but when culture, attention and distribution line up the right way, small people can finally matter. that’s what solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump feels like to me.
My issue with social trading is that I just don’t sell and roundtrip into a fat loss? I like hodling.
I called out this one coin on the pumpfun app, thought it was mega good, blasted the hell out of it, was up 40-50k within 30 minutes, held for 12h, woke up being down 10k. Accepted my roundtrip and just cut for a fat loss. I check my PF app today and got rewarded 18k for calling it out and making my tailers money.
I’m very vocal and critical of any product and service I use, but when something good is put out, I have to give people their flowers too. Chapeau PF team.
This new degen/diamond update is nutty, because it rewards slow cooks / higher market cap coins being called out over calling 5k shitters all day where a 5x only needs a coin to bond.
Think it can create an interesting dynamic we’re yet to see that could be a positive change, with a lot of room for growth.
I was a bit sceptical of call-outs before, but this changes callout rewards completely.
I like honesty and transparency, though I am partnered with pumpfun this message is heartfelt and I truly think everyone should give it a try.
Let’s win.
Every time I open X, I see the same bullshit stats about KOLs, what mcap they bought at, how many Xs they made, and how much money they earned.
The funny part? Most of the people posting this garbage were the biggest supporters of InfoFi.
What’s InfoFi? Spending months licking a project’s ass, begging for an airdrop. Maybe 1 out of 10 actually pays something decent. Sometimes they even disqualify you because you didn’t lick hard enough. LMAO.
But when I think about it, the people who spend every day engaging with these useless KOL stats truly deserve InfoFi.
InfoFi is dead, but apparently its unpaid stat-farming employees are still among us. 😭
Pumpfun, where are we heading?
You guys have been doing a lot of great things lately. Lower fees, cashback, holder rewards, all of it.
But I think you’re making one big mistake.
I’ve been on Pumpfun since the early days, and I hold $PUMP.
This isn’t hate, I genuinely care about where this platform is going.
You turned the market from “Ape the Narrative” into “Ape the Wallet.”
The constant focus on big KOLs is making everything about wallets and callouts instead of memes and narratives.
Normies won’t stick around once they realize how this game works, and OG degens are losing interest because even good narratives struggle to move without big names backing them.
Even the latest competition feels like it’s made for the same big players.
I’m not against KOLs ,They’re part of the culture.
But stop making everything revolve around them.
Give smaller creators a real chance
Make competitions fair for everyone, Put the focus back on memes and narratives, not who’s buying them.
Pumpfun became what it is because anyone could find the next big meme early.
Don’t lose that.
Bring back Ape the Narrative, not Ape the Wallet.
not a single good and respected trader posted their october PNL
