hard to unsee how much of base's past few weeks read like a speedrun of the robinhood chain playbook stocks. > robinhood chain launched on july 1 with stock tokens as the core product from day one > base had years to put equities onchain and didn't. only after RH went live came the admission they were late and AAPLc NVDAc METAc GOOGLc got rushed onto the chain in record time then the cat. > $CASHCAT is robinhood brand DNA. vlad confirmed the company was almost literally named cash cat, so the meme has lore and feels native to the chain > $BASECAT is the first cell of the most obvious naming spreadsheet. blue cat, some basejuice on the pic and call it culture. max result from min effort. launching it through the o1 exchange pad, the guys who farmed their own users, is the cherry on top then the follows. > vlad followed cashcat (meme) first then index (RWA) > cobie runs the same script beat for beat: follows basecat (meme) at 200 followers then LFI (RWA). after that he starts following everything in sight so it looks less surgical lol then the listings. > cashcat took 36 days from launch to the robinhood app > coinbase went all in on a 9m mc cat: basecat roadmapped 6 days after launch. and they pad the batch with the long awaited DRB plus POD and GRASS so one cat draws less heat genuinely glad base eco is finally getting attention even if it took RH chain existing to force it but robinhood led with a product and a meme that has a story. base answered with the same surface area minus the soul. reactive, templated, rushed. would love to see base write a playbook of its own instead of tracing someone else's. and the camouflage became the problem. co-sign everything and no single co-sign carries weight. dilute attention enough and it stops converting
