Degens don't care abt just the launchpad,
They care about who is behind it and how much they willing to give it with them joining the trenches.
They care about if they gonna be accepting communities, spreading love, Pump.fun had it's time, now it's $BONK guys( and i mean all bonk team, not just bonk guy, if you all follow them as well)
They care about who's pushing the ecosystem and who gonna take their coins higher to next level, ofc memecoins now aren't just shit coins which no one cares off, there are teams hustling day and night, getting real world connnections, tradefi guys, MM ,CEX's and establishing them into long term memes which gonna stay for several runs onboarding next gen crypto users, these coins need support of eco founders.
There was a time when Vitalik openly started killing coins, selling bags sent to him, calling meme coins scams, while Raj , Toly , SOL foundation and all SOL eco single handedly pushed memes bringing the biggest meme bull run in crypto while sending ETH memes to lowest ever.
Not bearish on PF , alon surely might be cooking a plan(unless the $PUMP ICO was an exit strategy lol) and every one is welcome, competition is bullish and very much needed, if pf didn't get lazy or would have shown the path , bonk fun or jup or moonshot or several others wouldn't even try.
Study the market/founders/ecosystem/volume/narratives and next meme winners will be infront of you, catch the one's which are already strong, get entries in reds, and look for betas/alphas where there is a community to back and founders to join them with love.
