Great questions!
I think generally the parts are mostly there for Aether - the decentralization and lack of character IP means we're a little different than other projects, but ultimately I think we're in a good spot. The AI agent isn't necessary for the projects IMO, like you mention it's mostly just a narrative / way to catch a bid.
For Aether v2, I'm exploring a lot of ideas. When I launched it, there weren't really agent tokens like we have now, maybe I would have named it something different if I knew what I know now, but even if it was called HigherAI, I think the token would have experienced similar things.
Higher is scary because there are so many projects, memes, coins who pop up, capture the zeitgeist and explode past our valuation, and then usually come back to reality. Just like Higher's first pump. But ultimately we are trying to play a longer game - we have to remember we are doing something _different_, not just competing with everyone. We want to win our way, it'll just be slower at times 2 replies

Quite a few tokens have popped up since Higher launch, that surpass Higher massively in attention, volume, marketcap for a period, and then come back to reality, sometimes above or below us in $ value, but usually somewhere reasonable.
Meanwhile, our token price does its thing. I would say so far 80% of the price movement is highly correlated to other similar Base tokens. So the market is not actually pricing in Higher is what we know it is - a revolutionary way to build a meaningful brand and community onchain. Because of that, it's quite frustrating to see other things doing well. So then we tend to think we should copy the others, when in reality we need to keep doing what we know is right, following our own ebbs and flows, and trusting the process.
Until we see someone doing what Higher is doing but better, I am not too worried. Our path will not be linear. 7 replies
