gm, if anyone actually wants their token to appreciate, pls feel free to hit me up
and if this is not you, pls also let me know so I can dump your token with haste & completely write you off as an operator
while this place has a fantastic dev community, it deeply lacks in all things IR/PR & marketing, which is quite frankly killing us
if we are serious about creating an ecosystem, this needs to change now—as if it’s not “if you build it, they will come,” then it’s most certainly “if they can earn, they will come”
after all, this is crypto, so if we keep fucking up our tokens, we WILL destroy any chance we have at attracting new users
i mean look at our charts… the rest of crypto mocks base coins for being zombie runners & we’re just a small subset of that
at first glance, our tokens look dead… small holderbases that pump exclusively on 5 whales across 10 wallets who then immediately rotate, causing the chart to fizzle out until it chops down… rinse & repeat 6 replies

no serious investor with size is interested in this even if they are interested in the project itself, as it’s just going to become a slowburn after a fabricated initial pump
this is the story for all of our coins… no users, becomes pvp, etc., etc.
now while we can’t fight this directly (all ecosystems have their whales, paperhands are weak, markets are zero-sum, etc.), we can do a much better job at ATTRACTING LONGTERM INVESTORS
and this starts with better comms, better IR/PR, better tokenomics, better marketing, and better optics…
so, first, here are a few things that are commonplace around here that are immediate red flags for any serious investor
1) two tokens. any founder who launches a second token is fucked. you’ve destroyed your holder base. you’ve destroyed your attention game. you’ve confused everyone.
it’s never acceptable to dilute your holders & that’s exactly what you just did 1 reply

you can have two different products & if they really need to have their own tokens, it’s not the end of the world, SO LONG as the tokens work together in the same flywheel
realistically that typically means burning one token over time, or instituting a lockup, such that all value within the system can flow to a single point
imagine investing in a company & then the CEO issues new stock for a new product for that very company… that’s not how the world works
you’ve fragmented your holder base, ruined your capital position & left everyone confused
further, walking back on something you, as the founder has already stated, especially as it relates to a new token, is amongst the worst things you can do & is the quickest way to erode trust within your OG community
this brings me to my next point:
2) leaning into the trenches
if you want to paint your chart red & ensure that no new outside investor considers your token, lean into the fc trenches 1 reply
