last year, when bonkfun were up to their shenanigans criming inorganic dogshit to try and take marketshare from @Pumpfun i would regularly give credit to pump for engendering and cultivating the only real onchain culture, certainly as far as solana goes. one of the big reasons that i dog on pump so hard these days is because they really had a good thing going for a little while last year when they were supporting communities and really giving hope to a larger swathe of traders that they might win if they could identify good narratives and help build definable communities on CT and onchain. i still think that pumpfun could return to this kind of environment, but it would require wholesale change, in their employees, the KOLs they attach their brand to, their liquidity structure, their fee structure. the way they have shifted their business model away from being the launchpad for meme culture and into this 'jack of all trades master of none' swiss army knife kind of stake casino hybrid is just antithetical to their customer base, and the last few months have really been an attempt to take marketshare AT ALL COSTS, feeding their KOLs in an attempt to create the loudest noise on CT for their product, which quite frankly FAILS their users across the board. be better pumpfun, there are still ways to be a better version of yourself.
