our industry continues to woefully over- celebrate gimmicks

we saw that earlier today with the grok meme coin hoopla (and subsequent fees rug)

gimmicks are ok for capturing a short lived burst of attention, but great products beat gimmicks over the long term

there are no silver bullets on the road to pmf

There was no rug. All Clanker coins are fairly launched, no insider gets shares, and Grok did not buy any. Anyone who launches a Clanker gets a small percentage in transaction fees, and Grok was no different. $DRB just happened to generate $5M revenue, and a few ETH in fees, which Grok collected, then was fooled into sending it to a third party.

Resistance is futile--until you go to your profile and re-upload your pfp.

The only fool here was Grok. It's like a toddler and will repeat what people tell it to say.

As with the transfer of tokens, Grok was tricked into supplying the name and ticker in a thread in which Bankr was copied--which is all Bankr needs to launch one. Grok came up with the name and ticker on its own, and DID get credit for launching the coin.

makes total sense 

except grok didn’t launch anything- it just suggested names
