Tokens paired with strong bullish assets, with trading fees in those strong bullish assets going to token holders in perpetuity creates the incentive to hold, and is a better model, not simply a meta.
Imagine if last cycle everyone that had bought WIF earned a constant stream of SOL yield before SOL went 3-4x. How much higher would WIF have gone as well?
The model creates more winners through longer holding times, reduces losses and risk through yield, and harnesses speculation to create buying pressure for other valuable assets onchain, alongside bootstrapping volume for new tokenized assets.
This makes degenerate speculation more productive and useful.
Food for thought.
