There was a time when $LMAO! was the best community coin in crypto, @slingoorio was the most legit person on CT and there was real potential to create a PVE wealth effect for the masses.
If you ran TA on the chart, quantified the vibes, measured the holder count/stats/supply control, and saw what was planned for the future, you would know LMAO! was legitimately destined to go to 100s of millions.
Sling and co were able to put together the most based team of talented raiders, artists, advisors and KOLs who showed up daily for months on end to create a real community. We made friends, we laughed, we built tech, we made memes, we facilitated culture, we talked shit, we onboarded, we helped eachother in times of need, we had the supply control, we had the pumpfun affiliations and support, we had a great leader, we watched our wallet balances slowly grow, on chain was totally bottomed.. it was a true lightning in a bottle moment, and the energy was sustainable.
The music stopped the moment Sling launched solana:A13oRB9FFaiUjfi6LdCg6p9ka1u8SfGkUFs4SKvPpump. This is when he joined forces with new pair scammers, fragmented the community into multiple coins, and ultimately removed his focus from LMAO! to direct it toward trenching. The community slowly retracted and the lightning in a bottle effect was lost.
Thereโs probably a moral to the story and lessons to be learned in there somewhere, but ultimately the entire Slingoor situation is just very sad. Many were betrayed and many lost lots of money, all while there was at one point a real chance for it to have all gone according to plan.
