As much as I hate pumpfun, it’s hard for me to put the blame on them. Pumpfun fulfilled its function. Even if that function was to extract, you can’t lay the blame on them for doing what they were designed to do. The blame lies squarely on Q, Mert, Toly, the Solana FDN, Andem, Joe McCann, Salami, Kang, Alliance, Multicoin, and all of their influenza underlings that battery packed ppl into embracing a culture of rugs and PnDs. I think all of those ppl are complete sociopaths. Evil even. I’ll never forget in 2024 I was watching a podcast with Q Qiow, and I was absolutely floored by the shit he was spewing. I was amazed that he believed himself and even more shocked that the hosts just sat there nodding in the air like bobbleheads. He was saying something to the effect that every single human being would create a memecoin and trade it Solana and that this was the natural evolution of the internet, all to justify price targets for his bags (which were fucking retarded). And then I’d check X and see an army of indented craniums regurgitating his nonsense, and calling for VCs to fund this degeneracy and for builders to abandon their projects in favor of building more memecoin apps. “Just build things ppl want to use bro” Remember how often we used to hear that? Fast forward to 2026, and the “trenches” have been bled dry. Starved. Depraved. Famished. Pumpfun is still extracting to this day. But the blame lies with the ppl who encouraged that culture. Go back and look at the receipts from January 2025. Everyone who celebrated the launch of TRUMP is to blame. Dw though, most of these ppl have either existed stage left or are about to. It’s sad that they butchered an entire class of onchain users but hey, at least they onboarded all those celebrities right!?
