on PUMP, there are two group bullposting it right now: 1) people who are on the payroll one way or another, and either get pre-supplied talking points and deliverables through a lieutenant or back channel, OR they "know ball" enough to craft their own bullpost. the former are more recognizable because you'll see those deliverables reflected via a certain amount/density of pump dot fun domain mentions and other stuff that's consistent w/ other posters. there'll be a subtle structure here that's recognizable, similar to picking up on an AI-generated post 2) people who have been eyeing it for a long time and marking out levels on the chart, waiting for a spot where it looks like it's doing well, but also has a really great invalidation. they see a paid shill campaign kick off, and they're pragmatic about recognizing that "hey, this thing is about to get big increase in eyeballs, i think this can be a tailwind to the trade i'm opening up. let me jump on board and ride the wake up that" it's not *always* clear who is who, so i don't think shaming anyone is very productive. i personally don't like pump culturally, and it has nothing to do with "memecoins aren't productve tech assets" or "they do insider buying" or whatever - it's more like "their product is something out of a black mirror episode writer's room", encouraging and providing the rails for people destroying their lives with forehead tattoos, or people disrupting sporting events/etc, which is the dark type of slippery slope shit that makes society worse. also, on a "this hurts my bags" front: it's part of the reason sol has an uphill battle on the trust premium front. solana needs a hyperliquid jeff, and this is the polar opposite
