Capacity’s tight. Claim your spot:
Unpopular Opinion: Loud’s attention flywheel might be broken or at least in need of a serious tune-up.
I’m not sure what the team plans after the first payout, but here’s what I’ve been thinking:
The Loud model was bold, but short-lived.
The idea was simple: incentivize top KOLs to generate attention → that attention drives volume → the top 25 KOLs split trading fees.
In theory, it’s genius.
In practice, it burned hot but faded fast.
Since TGE, volume has dropped every single day.
- Day 1: $10M+
- Day 6: ~$213K
- Market cap: down ~90% from ATH
1. The game wasn’t ready.
After just 6 days, there’s very little content left to post. Over 50% of the top 25 climbed the board with engagement bait or shallow threads not necessarily because they lack quality, but because there’s simply not enough substance to talk about yet.
Loud didn’t prepare enough narrative fuel to sustain interest. Even the best creators need something to work with.
2. Small creators were sidelined.
Let’s be honest: what exactly is the incentive for a small creator to participate?
- No realistic shot at leaderboard rewards
- No clear holding or loyalty benefits
- No structure for discovery or amplification
Cheering from the sidelines in hopes that a top KOL might tip you? That’s not a system. That’s a wish.
3. The leaderboard became toxic, fast.
By day 5, it wasn’t about who created value. It was about who was louder, who had better “smart follower” ratios, or who gamed the algo better.
Instead of building a culture of collaboration, it became a leaderboard of drama.
That doesn’t help the project or anyone in it in the long run.
The responsibilities and benefits of stakeholders in Loud are built around the top 25 and I think that's still correct. But perhaps we need to reassess these realities to adjust and adapt more appropriately.
Because if not, everything Loud has will be like a shooting star passing through CT and no matter how beautiful it once was, people will soon forget.

Trading often reveals itself to be one of the biggest gambles humans have conceived, leading to a realization of how deeply people's thoughts and lives intertwine with their trades.
"Moonbag" - a simple yet fascinating term, but one of the most painful in financial services, particularly in crypto. Holding an asset "until the moon" is brave, but it comes with the significant risk of "marrying the bag."
You've probably heard that phrase more than you cared to, and perhaps you dismissed it, thinking "$SHIB TO $1." My friend, that's a moment of delusion where you separate yourself from the logical world and enter a realm of false hope and gimmicks.
Of course, there will be defenders - that's what we call a community, and we should respect that. But what if your defense stems solely from frustration because your holdings haven't even reached the industry average, and 80% of holders are at a loss? In such a situation, a "moon" post or nonsensical defense might generate some attention and offer a glimmer of "hopium."
Many coins from the 2020-2021 period fall into this category. Their holders still believe the project might experience a revival, like the Undertaker. In reality, it will likely settle into dust as time passes.
Crypto is a relatively new financial sector, and its narratives evolve faster than you can blink. Eventually, 99% of cryptocurrencies will die, and more than 99.9% of them will never touch their all-time highs in their second cycle.
Don't marry your bags. Book your profits.

Circle IPO仅三天估价翻了三倍,市直超过$200亿,从业者无不弹冠相庆.
水友感叹币股今年财富效应很强 ,从微策略,Metaplanet到Sharplink, 再到Circle.
而主任隐隐感到忧虑, 币股的强势产生的虹吸效应是从币圈抽流动性去美股.
就主任观察,尽管稳定币还在增发,肉眼可见的Crypto的流动性在下滑, 不止山寨,甚至大饼的流动性也分了一部分去股票ETF了,大饼的买卖反应在币圈也只是通过Coinbase反复存取. @WutalkWu 表示最近OTC都在反馈币圈老板都在疯狂出金炒股.
币股的强势短期好像是利好 ,长期更像利空. 行业发展的大趋势应该是内在流动性越来越充裕才对,现在反过来了.
长此以往,以Binance,Coinbase为代表的币圈交易所流动性也会持续下滑,最终是整体基本面的溃败.
主任宏大愿望币圈最终取代纳斯达克成为创新企业退出首选的全球资本市场也会落空
Only a few hours left until the @stayloudio race ends..
But honestly, the best part was the friendships..
Running alongside amazing people like @waleswoosh, @ripchillpill, @StarPlatinumSOL, @thegreatola, @0xAbhiP and more 💛
Grateful to share this journey with you all!
Here’s to more wins, louder moments and growing together!! This is what $LOUD is really about.
And.. If you could run this race all over again, would you do anything different?
this one might be an interesting @virtuals_io play when the token comes
product is @pitchpilot_ai
while it does look like an ai chatbot just prompted to a few select profiles (personas), it seems much more professional than most things that get 300%+ oversubscribed on virtuals
it discusses business strategies, gets feedback on ideas and gives you industry insights - not sure how up to date this part is
however, the part that's most interesting is that early users get rewarded with their upcoming token, which may not be punishable by yeet jail, so perhaps worth burning a few dollars?
also somewhat similar to what timedotfun is offering, just AI, interesting design choice
