3 things need to happen in order for onchain-mania to occur again (why am I writing this? not sure not like anybody will make use of it tbh lmfao) 1. There needs to be multiple runners in a day, if there is only 1 from time to time or 1 a day it doesn't really spark confidence across the board. People need to feel like they can hit any kind of narrative/meme. Infrequency of runner coins will feel to the masses inorganic/forced/crime/coordinated/whatever sidelined term you want to use. Can they all be coordinated/bundled/crime? Yes of course. But so long as there's enough frequency it ensures any "random" person can hit them and not just "KOLs". 2. KOLs need to be paid. Sounds kinda counter intuitive to the first statement but in reality if a market is good enough to pay KOLs then the market is healthy enough where teams think they can get enough of a return on their payments. "Of course you're saying this as a KOL", maybe that's how you want to see it, but I like to think of it as a gauge on how healthy onchain is. For those who were here back during the times where so many projects were raising seed rounds and doing presales. Notice how those don't exist no more? Because the health of the market isn't high enough for those to thrive. 3. There needs to be incentives to trade. Novelty and edge needs to be present. It doesn't necessarily need to be something big and special. Simply putting in more time during the week can be an edge. As much as we hate pvp and launchpad wars and drama etc. that also in itself creates edges. Callout rewards were a good step in the right direction from the pump team, I expect to see more incentives coming from different platforms evolving from just airdrops and fee reduction in 2027. Shower thoughts, you can disagree or agree doesn't really matter, not looking to have a long winded argument with anyone, just some things I've been thinking about.
