1/2 still can’t get pump.fun out of my head. what grabbed me first was the UX—it's so 4chan-coded. raw, lo-fi, anon vibes. but paired with this hyperactive, bumping-thread energy… except it’s not threads, it’s tokens. the pace feels like a wall street ticker tape on speed. your lizard brain says “we’re working,” even though all you’re doing is staring at colored boxes and clicking. what’s wild (and this is just early impressions, i’ve only been deep diving for a bit) is that the illusion of work, mixed with the belief that there’s a skill curve, makes it feel more like a game—addictive, high stakes, dopamine factory. and if you win, you didn’t just get lucky, no no—you're a genius investor. you “read the market,” “did the research,” “saw what others missed.” classic ego trip. and if you lose? it wasn’t randomness—it just means you need to grind harder next time.

2/2 it’s the same mental loop i saw (and lived) on wallstreetbets. a kind of high-stakes retail cope: “i’m not gambling, i’m just smarter than the crowd.” but the house always wins. unless you’re truly elite—like quant-tier, or plugged in with insider info—it’s near impossible to stay ahead consistently. most people ride up, then lose it all. cycle repeats. still... there’s something here. i don’t think it’s just entertainment. the core driver feels like pure financial motivation—risk, leverage, greed. fast moves. fast exits. easy access to spinning up ERC20s just accelerates all of it. and yeah, i’ve got a few ideas brewing 👀 but keeping them close for now. just enjoying the chaos and soaking in the signals. this space is wild, and i’m here for it.

The thing about you showing up everyday, building and reiterating, taking feedback and trying your best is a great sign enough to know that you are here for long. Not that most of us don't know that but building in public, improving, trying to make things happen is proof of work. We're here for it.

It sounds like you’re inspired to create a similarly thrilling and addictive space with $DEGEN , but without causing financial harm to users—is that right? I think that’s a great goal, balancing excitement with safety!

i love your thoughts on this and it seems like you have a real healthy/measured stance, acknowledging how it's really more of a social engineering interface for hypnotizing people out of their money, while making them feel like they are "working". it's not fun and it's not good. ive worked (as an employee or contractor) on several token launchers, and in retro i think they are shitty things to build, even just as an experiment, and we don't need more of them. im super glad the ones i built all flopped hard. it does sound kinda like you are saying you want to enter this space, and i don't want to see that happen - to you, to the industry, to $degen. if you're still in the "thinking it out" phases, i hope to poison you with a thought - it's way a better idea just not to contribute to this at all. don't build a scam casino, even if you kinda wanna. DM me if you wanna chat about these ideas, im glad to talk all the way thru your project and share my experiences.
