Listened to the $BUMP space – Wanted to share a few thoughts:

On token utility:

Speculators want to bet on the success of the startup.

They don’t want:

1) A memecoin uncorrelated with the company

2) Dilution from weird “post-to-earn” mechanics

To achieve this, simply accumulate $BUMP with business revenue as soon as you are profitable and keep it on your balance sheet (don't burn).

Become the $MSTR of your own currency.

Crypto-native projects using this model: $HYPE, $RAY

This could become a modern VC alternative — bootstrapping via trading fees and cycling the upside back to tokenholders.

On capturing trader-native behavior:

We value privacy.

Most of us prefer to stay anonymous — especially after publicly flexing 8 figures.

Stories of kidnappings and physical threats are ever present.

So when you talk about “taking crypto kids out to the club,” keep in mind:

Yes, we want real connections — but it has to happen on our terms.

If you can solve for that, you’ll scratch a very real itch.

Also: we love the profile images.

Maybe a solution would be to use them instead of selfies?
