The current issue, and one of @pumpdotfun's longest-standing problems, is the combo of: 1. Poor Communication - Their 𝕏 communications lack consistency and has no clear strategy; they've posted only 5 times natively in the past 6 days. - Alon's interview with Threadguy lacked substance and appeared more coached by lawyers than driven by passion. - There are no trusted community advocates or doxxed team members, leading to the next point... 2. Community Distrust (Misalignment) - $PUMP team members aren't part of any long-standing, pillar communities in Solana. - Pump has not reinvested into the ecosystem and its people, which was originally built on principles like "win help win" and "rising tides lift all boats," fueling perceptions of them as ecosystem extractors. - The absence of doxxed team members means there are no human faces behind the product, contrasting sharply with $BONK and most other successful crypto projects today. (People trust people > marketing materials.) __________________________________________ For new founders or projects struggling to find market share today, take note. ~Will share more thoughts soon.
