If speculation is what drives volume, then tokenomics must be built to survive selling pressure.

No sense to pretend utility will save it.

Tony Drummond (@Hyper27374, https://t.co/ZXFh7DOtpY) explained that despite all the talk about utility, the majority of token activity is still driven by speculation.

“Many teams are greedy. Many people don't think that in advance or they give tokens to people who will just dump and sell on them later.”

[Nasib Fathi @nasib_fathi]

New episode with Tony Drummond (@Hyper27374, https://t.co/ZXFh7DOtpY) is out now!

We discussed:

- Why tokenomics should be treated as a living system
- How emissions, dilution & circulating supply shape market risk (exposure)
- Why many liquidity incentives rent capital instead of creating durable markets
- Governance, reward loops, treasury strategy & more

@nasib_fathi Thanks for having me on and I look forward to it!

[Nasib Fathi @nasib_fathi]

New episode dropping tomorrow!

This time with Tony Drummond (@Hyper27374), Founder of https://t.co/ZXFh7DOtpY.

Among other topics, we discuss why tokenomics should be treated as a living economic system, how emissions and dilution shape network resilience, and how to tell whether liquidity is structural or simply rented.

Teaser below.

@SmokeyTheBera @0xPiracyData @berachain @eatsleepyeet @MaxLongCEO Remember when you were on camera a year ago saying the bad VC deals were a major issue? You’ve got no revenue and you are being sold into oblivion through unintelligent deals. Ghost chain with no value ran by a guy in a bear mask. Going to zero on launch.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

@Anthony_Francis @thepanth3on @blast @icobeast Sounds like it’s time to fire up the lawnmower again 😁. I can make more panhandling.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

@Anthony_Francis …but you are rugging all the insiders who normally dump and mass extract from holders.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

Thanks so much for the amazing conversation!

It's not the tokens that have failed, but the way they have been used.

If something is designed for mass extraction, expect it to be used as such and to fail.

One cannot ever gain product-market fit by extracting from their users and customers.

[Senator Mak🖖 @Unbankt]

I had a blast meeting @Hyper27374 today on his podcast.

We both share a unique insight into the “darker” places of cryptos inner workings.

We both share the same distaste for it all.

We both know the associations and incentives to break bad.

But despite that we both call it straight, protect relationships, and refuse the theatrics and I notice it’s a common theme amidst all the other good guys I know in crypto. We’re all long conviction. Long crypto. Long reputation. Long relationships. Despite the crap we’re all still optimists. Maybe to our detriment. Who knows.

The loud extractors however are usually short crypto in mindset and behaviour. They burn reputation chasing short term edges because they don’t see the long game. They’re short crypto and shorting their reputation. They’re all pessimists.

Never follow a pessimist, because they by default don’t even believe in themselves. That’s why they short their rep.

Im very bullish crypto and very bullish principled operators. The guys who never compromised reputation, never chased cheap wins, and kept playing the long game are going to kick some serious arse this next decade.

There’s too may to name in my circle but you all know I appreciate you. We’re the guys holding the line.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

Congrats to @Anthony_Francis @Unbankt ! Awesome work to @thepanth3on and team 🚀

Most tokens go to zero as they are high FDV exit vehicles for insiders. Our space will not thrive with such a mindset.

Check out this unique economic model, which focuses on creators in quite a unique way. Reminds me of the "Token Factories" concept from @RibbitCapital

@phantompost_ @Nadmah_co Awesome and congrats!

@Martyupnorth Or could it be women prefer education in areas where their EQ is better leveraged? Men? IQ leverage. The further to the right, the more EQ mattered. Doesn’t mean you can’t have both. My point is IQ probably isn’t a consideration in the degree decision.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

Only because he has so many companies. Let’s not forget both Tesla and SpaceX nearly went to zero and Musk put all his money in. Also, his companies primarily employ and manufacture in the US.

How many families and communities is this man supporting? He simply owned his companies and hardly sold any shares. He invested himself alongside the investors, too.

The companies got bigger and more successful. Is he supposed to sell his shares? What’s your plan instead? Tax on unrealized gains? Great way to kill innovation.

Let’s say his net worth falls to $100B. That would mean the companies will be failing and it’s likely many US workers would lose their jobs.

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

@todayyearsold The literally come packaged this way 🤣

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

@Mostafa06030272 You got it! Appreciate the support

[Tony Drummond @Hyper27374]

All about $AVICI, liquidity and why I think this is just a temporary correction.

Remember: Team could have pulled $30MM+ and dramatically inflated the FDV, and they didn't.

Instead? Much less and look at the beautiful launch.
