people in my replies saying 'stop being so negative, be constructive, what would you change' etc etc, so to summarise things I've said across many different tweets over a very long time: 1) structural changes to bonding curves and liquidity post bond to fix the paper thin liquidity on coins deployed into pumpswap pools. 2) meaningful support from top brass on long-lasting, culturally important memecoin communities, both through comms and capital invested into (see glass full foundation, an initiative they abandoned as soon as they started it) to promote sustainable narratives. deeper liquidity would also prop up these coins to absorb volatility and not be subsumed by the diddy spiral, to borrow a term. 3) the severing of ties to extractive KOLs and serial deployers through their retainer scheme and those given pumpfun badges 4) reworking of callout payment scheme to stop funding KOLs who abuse it on incredibly short median hold times) - callout payments should be big for those who buy early, shill to an audience, and then hold it long term as it appreciates in value over longer timeframes. these are just a few of the meaningful changes in approach that would seriously help a positive pivot imo. the liquidity issue is the most egregious, and has been from the jump since they migrated away from raydium pools.

shitposts aside, it's just a little sad what has happened here with the whole kimchi situation as a cherry on top of a larger cultural degredation under @Pumpfun i have had my issues with pumpfun for a long time: the rampant, low cost, low complexity, low friction one stop deploying shop, whilst perhaps inevitable, to be an anathema to the underlying precepts of crypto. it took everything that made crypto cool, interesting and alluring and turned it into a hyper expansive slop space. that being said, pumpfun should always get credit for creating a moat which has, for the large majority of the past 2 years, made them somewhat untouchable when it comes to onchain launches. when bonkfun came along last year and started criming utter garbage, with solporntom and bonkguy shilling soulless, vapid nonsense, i was an advocate of the 'culture' that pumpfun had been able to incubate and champion on their platform. we had the glass full foundation, we had large marketcap memecoins, we had both @a1lon9 and the pumpfun team at large highlighting communities building out onchain, putting money into and behind memecoins that actually attempted to build a brand, a concept or a funny idea. did i like all the memes they pushed? no, but who cares, everyone has their own taste and perspective, but pumpfun were genuinely the 'cool' launchpad, with an established, definable cultural rampart which set them apart from the rest. i remember alon was even interacting with these communities on a personal level, hopping into group chats, replying to x accounts regularly - there was a genuine excitement about memecoins in this sector on solana, despite the crest of the memecoin wave very much having been broken by trump earlier in the year. now look, i understand that pumpfun is a business and they both desire and need to expand their reach, continue evolving and serve new prospective customers. but what i want to understand is how is the current climate that they have incubated in pivoting away from communities, and into highly leveraged speculation on attention serving or benefitting customer retention? if every single coin has a single pump and dumps to zero with no chance of a second reincarnation, where is the incentive for people to stay and keep playing? people do not enter crypto because they want to make a lil piece of money on the side, they are trying to change their living conditions significantly. this doesn't NEED to be a reskin of stake, where everyone goes into it knowing implicitly they're going to lose over time, where the sellers of shovels are villainised as rapacious extractors. there's actually no cultural or business-based exceptionalism to this approach, and there is plenty of money to be made in concentrating the winners. otherwise why would somebody feel the need to stare at a black and green chart for hours to get a dopamine hit, when they can go and play a slot with all the bells and whistles that it comes with, or hit up a casino with the boys and spin a roulette wheel? the $kimchi disaster class reflects a loss of perspective for pumpfun in my opinion, an attempt to shift the needle so dramatically towards 'anticipating what a new audience might want', that it just throws the whole recipe off-kilter. my father used to preach a simple axiom to me: keep it simple, stupid. foster an environment wherein normal people can win, and they will become your biggest advocates to bring other people onchain to try and win big too. playing crash games on one day narratives, and glorifying scammers alienates your customer base long term.

I like kimchi when it's scattered on my 4 scrambled eggs with sourdough toast in the morning. I usually pair it with some cholula and pumpkin/sunflower seeds, as well as a bit of feta cheese and pea shoots. the fermentation really sets my stomach up for a good day, the pro and probiotics allowing me to digest and process my macro and micro nutrients.

1, 2 the duve is coming for you 3, 4 better lock your door you dun fucked up alon

I bought this coin as a joke a few hours ago but I'm actually legitimately starting to wonder if it's unironically completely over for onchain

so @Pumpfun got exit scammed by a eunuch twink and everyone who I thought was based is on pumpfuns payroll and glazing them for introducing limit orders on their app like it's the second coming of christ. its so profoundly over lmao.

what in the actual fuck man lmao

KOL moves

the reason your entire timeline looks like an advertising board for @Pumpfun is because @a1lon9 spent the airdrop money on buying complicity from all your favourite KOLs and characters on CT. 3/4 of them aren't even rocking the pf badge, but they're getting paid a monthly retainer - i know this because i know half of them and they took a deal because they cannot make any money in these conditions. the irony of this, of course, is the reason they can't make money onchain anymore is because of the company that is paying for their compliance and/or silence. half these desperate traders under the new pumpfun fees, are being required to pay more in fees back to pf from the exorbitant minimum volume they have to trade, than the money pumpfun are paying them. naturally the guys are the top of the pile, the Hugos, the slingorrs, the ansems, the chairmans etc, are getting a very nice slice of the pie, both in retainers and insane call out payments, but there are countless people with like 2-3k followers on CT getting these goyim mines deals. just know that you're all responsible for the state of things onchain in some way, shape or form, and I hope those couple bands every month help allay your conscience. CT has turned into a cesspit akin to casino slots twitter. I hope you enjoy this mess.

xitter.cf/a1lon9/status/18198300… we got pumpfun employees taking about PVE and winning on coins appreciating on HTFs. this place has completely lost its fucking mind, i swear on everything that is sacred.

my port is divinely protected from going up in value

yeah fomo fills are fucking dogwater (if you're gambling on low liq daily runner slop), yes their fees for most accounts are fucking ridiculous and yes some of the largest KOLs on their books are some of the biggest slimy pieces of shit in the space. but at least i don't feel like they're trying to gape my anus, steal every dollar out of my bank account and employ a succubus to suck my soul out of my third eye. if fomo is a pernicious, ruthless fat cat capitalist, then pumpfun is Beelzebub yanked out of the 9th ring of hell.
