The creator fee is now zero.
As of today, 100% of every creator fee $PONSTRATEGY collects buys $PONS and drops it to $PONSTR holders.

Why $PONS
$PONSTR was never meant to be a token you stare at. It's a machine with one job: convert the fees it earns into an asset its holders actually keep.
That asset is $PONS. Every collection, the machine takes the WETH it earned and buys $PONS on the open market - then drops it, pro rata, to everyone holding $PONSTR. No staking. No claiming. No lockup. It arrives.
167 drops so far. 262,851 $PONS bought and handed out.
Why it matters that the number is now 0%
Most tokens route a slice of fees to the team. We ran at 10% for months.
The fee is going all the way down instead, to zero.
Every dollar of fee revenue this thing generates from here now belongs to the people holding the token. That's not a promise in a doc, it's a number in a contract you can read: creatorShareBps = 0.
The two-sided squeeze
The ETH side of every fee buys $PONS for you.
The token side of every fee is burned. 68,476,705 $PONSTR are already at the dead address — 7.04% of total supply, permanently gone. 929.5M left circulating and falling.
So holding $PONSTR is a position on two things at once: a shrinking float, and a stream of $PONS that now runs at full strength.
What we're actually betting on
That the honest version wins.
Anyone can mint a token and promise revenue share. Very few will point at the contract and show you the creator take is literally zero, the buys are on-chain, the burns are on-chain, and 167 drops have already landed.
We'd rather own $PONSTR alongside you than skim it from you.

Testosterone studies are insane because they're all like "Yeah, it makes you more fair" or "Yeah, it reduces NPC hivemind behavior."
And suddenly you understand why things like bug meat get promoted.
Wake up, folks. Commodities are telling you something, and yesterday the Treasury confirmed it.
Scarcity in the physical world. Repression in the financial one.
Scarcity pushes prices up. Repression holds yields down. The gap between them is the debasement.
Commodities are the only asset class that wins on both sides.
The structural case for commodities has been turbo charged. Underinvestment, deglobalization and electrification all pushing markets like diesel cracks and copper to new highs.
Meanwhile the chokepoints are increasing, from Hormuz to the Red Sea, the Rhine, the Panama Canal, the Black Sea grain corridor and Russian refining capacity. It is becoming increasingly apparent that not a single one of those is reachable by anything in Washington's toolkit whether it be caused by war or weather.
The illusion of abundance is likely behind us. I said as much on CNBC this Monday, and I got long gold, silver and agriculture last week.
Ten points for you to consider. (1/11)
A fermented egg protein made without a single chicken is now on shelves at Walmart and Target.
The EVERY Company grows its OvoPro protein from yeast in bioreactors, producing something molecularly identical to real egg white, and it’s FDA-cleared, with orders in early 2026 alone equaling 550 percent of all of 2025’s volume.
The company says brands decide whether to mention it on the label.
Buy real eggs on Localize.
The popular brand Primal Kitchen was bought by Kraft Heinz, and now 90%+ of their avocado oil products are fraud
UC Davis did testing and found that 93% of chips and 100% of dressings all came back as having no avocado oil, even though they were labeled as having avocado oil
“Kraft Heinz bought out Primal Kitchen for $200 million, and people immediately started to notice differentiation in taste. But what people didn't realize is that the labels started to change what was actually inside the products”
48 of 54 samples were inconsistent with avocado oil in the US Davis testing. Many other brands also failed
- Chips: 93% failed
- Salad dressings: 100% failed
- Mayonnaises: 71% failed
🚨Paul Saladino warns LED exposure could be a health crisis on the scale of asbestos:
"These lights quite possibly are killing you."
"When we use LED light on mice, we can watch the mitochondria generally go downhill."
"We can't see the flickering, but our brain, our eyes, and our nervous system can perceive it, and it's very activating to our nervous system in a negative way.
"It can cause eye strain, headaches, migraines, anxiety."
"You'll see a slow-motion video of this and it really drives it home how crazy it is that we're sitting under these lights all day long."

I know why everything sucks...
...and it's because everything is fake
We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.
We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.
Then they are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach fake education and they get fake jobs.
We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.
We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.
We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.
We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.
We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.
We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.
We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.
We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.
We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.
IT. IS. ALL. SO. FREAKING. FAKE.
And we all yearn for what was once real.
Don't you remember? Did you forget?
There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.
When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!
When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.
When a family could live off a single income.
When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.
When schools was HARD... and that was the point!
When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,
When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.
When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.
And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.
A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.
A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.
An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.
here's what happened in between.
Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.
she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."
police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.
This means:
Snapchat scans private messages.
Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.
Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.
in under an hour.
Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm.
you are not told when a message is flagged.
you are not told when a report is filed.
you find out when the police arrive.
the message was private.
it wasn't.
should be obvious by now, but OpenAI and Anthropic are just gonna keep cannibalizing all their biggest customers.
it’s simply too profitable for them to resist. and it’s already happening:
1. Figma partnered with Anthropic on AI design tools. then Anthropic’s product chief quit Figma’s board, and 3 days later Anthropic launched Claude Design to compete with Figma. CEO Dylan Field said Anthropic was “not consistently candid.”
2. Novo Nordisk uses Claude to help develop drugs. now Anthropic is developing drugs of its own.
3. Microsoft poured billions into OpenAI. now OpenAI is building a Jobs Platform to compete with LinkedIn, and reportedly a code repository to compete with GitHub. Microsoft owns both.
4. Harvey uses Claude to sell AI contract analysis, due diligence, and litigation tools. now Anthropic sells those same workflows through Claude for Legal.
5. Intercom used OpenAI’s Realtime API to build Fin Voice. now OpenAI sells its own voice-and-chat support agent through Presence.
6. Abridge and Ambience build clinical documentation products on OpenAI. now OpenAI sells ChatGPT for Healthcare directly to hospitals with clinical documentation built in.
7. Benchling uses Claude to power its biotech R&D platform. now Anthropic sells its own scientific workbench through Claude Science.
the frontier lab playbook is simple:
1. sell their models to the world’s most valuable businesses
2. help wire them into those companies’ most valuable and sensitive work
3. map the business from the inside and find where AI can take over
4. turn those capabilities into their own products and become the customer’s competitor
WHAT I HAVE BEEN WARNING FOR DECADES IS HERE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR BOOK BURNING TOO ANTHROOIC.
“Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email”
We are the amnesia generation and this is The Great Forgetting.
It is essential that everyone directly pushes back on these intellectual terrorists who continue to pretend the average person is some political extremist.
This is the only way that common sense returns.
The NDAA doesn't 'merge' the US & 'israeli' militaries. There is ZERO equivalent law in 'israel'.
'israel' gets everything—US data, joint R&D, and supply chain integration.
The US gets no matching access to IOF bases, factories, or decisions.
It's an official one way takeover.
