$DEGEN

Gm Degentlemen and Deladies! We’ve hit a major milestone: over half a million wallet holders in just under 6 months! Huge congrats to everyone HODLing and being part of the Degen community. The best is yet to come!

this is indeed a huge milestone, but i see a lot of people only focusing on the nº holders. that doesn't necessarily reflect how successful a token is

in the last few days, the only conversations have been related to price: "what's happening?", "we thought this memecoin was different", "we even have our own chain", "hodl till $1"...

i don't see discussions focused on increasing usage, implementing new use cases, forming partnerships with platforms, or bringing more velocity to the token

if the main focus is on holders and price, we're doing it wrong. it means half a million users just want to make quick money. i’ve been holding and providing liquidity since day one, but we won't progress if we only look at charts

this token created a whole new tipping meta, experimented with its own chain, and partnered with the majority of apps in the farcaster ecosystem 

we need more of that. we need more use cases that creates new digital cultures and economies

i'm def celebrating them but we might shift focus before we go more into the dark zone

feels like the typical almost tip season claim day chatter? i think it’s healthy to celebrate these wins. seems the pattern is that the convo will rotate back to buildbuildbuild in ~week?
