lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

good (in different ways): railgun, farcaster, polymarket, signal
bad (in different ways): pump.fun, Terra/Luna, FTX

The differences in what the app does stem from differences in beliefs in developers' heads about what they are here to accomplish.

re: @vitalik.eth @jessepollak @binji.eth 

pump.fun isn’t a bug in the system.
It is the culture. It’s the most accurate reflection of what crypto users want right now (at least for now).

pump.fun is a textbook mutual-aid ponzi — no promises, just vibes and velocity. This isn’t a scam but a cultural sandbox. How ppl deal with it is bad but the experiment is slick.

Jobless for now.

Fun memes and tech are the future.

People want to feel in on it.
pump.fun democratized attention.
Anyone can mint, anyone can meme, anyone can spark a movement.

You don’t need to love it.
But if you ignore what it represents—
A low-cost narrative engine powered by the crowd—
You’re missing the soul of this cycle.

Let people play.
Let memes cook.
Let the internet talk back.
