In the glorious theatre of financial self-sabotage, Pump.fun is handing out matches and gasoline. Over 300,000 tokens minted in just two weeks, most lasting less time than a celebrity apology. Two soft rug pulls from TikTok influencers, a multi-million-dollar exploit involving wallet spoofing, and an ICO that somehow raised $500 million without U.S. or U.K. participation—because nothing screams “totally legit” like regulatory dodgeball.
This isn’t crypto innovation—it’s performance art with price tags. You pick a name, slap on a meme, and boom: you’re a CEO of nothing. The bonding curve makes early buys look genius and late ones look mugged. Only about 0.002% of tokens crack the $1 million cap. Everyone else gets a souvenir JPEG and a reminder that gravity always wins.
Still, the madness persists. Why? Because Pump.fun is fun. It’s chaos with confetti. A decentralised Hunger Games where every loser thinks they’re Katniss. And while Solana fees keep it frictionless, your dignity will cost extra.
Come for the memes, stay for the existential dread. It's not an investment—it's a very animated way to lose money.
