"Yea but who's the actual next buyer for @stayloudio?"
The entire thing hinges on top yapper distribution.
→ Top yappers leverage their distribution to gain mindshare
→ Audience speculates on future loudio attention
→ Audience converted to trader
→ Pays yapper with fees

I feel like im missing something
Stayloudio is all over the TL right now and for good reason. 0xUltras latest experiment on the surface seems super lucrative for the top 25 in Loud! mindshare
but whats the incentive for actually buying the token to then reward top yappers?

Over the past six months, I've gone from being an observer of Web3 to entering the payment industry. Now, I've chosen to stop and cease working on Web3 payments.

This isn't a retreat after a failure, but rather a judgment and adjustment made after truly getting involved. In these past six months, I've traveled to Yiwu, Shuibei, Putian, and even Mexico, seeing how payments are actually implemented in the most prominent places mentioned in reports. I've also been involved, building a Web3 payment MVP, taking over accounts, developing Web3 payment tools, and trying to run my imagined path from the first step to the last.

But the further I went…

An entrepreneur's account: From beginning to end, why I stopped developing Web3 payments.

A new proposal called "The Cat" is causing a stir in the Bitcoin community by suggesting the possibility of permanently deleting existing Ordinals and Non-Fungible Token from the network, thereby reigniting one of the most debated issues...

The Bitcoin community is fiercely debating the proposal for "The Cat".

Pi Coin's price has risen slightly by over 1% in the last 24 hours, but it is still trading more than 20% lower than three months ago. The downtrend has not been reversed, but there is a sign of a shift.

A bearish scenario...

Retail investors are buying in as Pi Coin's price drops – but only large capital inflows can stop the plunge.

im seeing loudio as testing this hypothesis tbh:
does mindshare actually translate to trading volume?
it's all about that, really

Yea, you nailed it.
Mostly whether or not distribution can turn in to moving markets.
I think the second thing to note is that doubtful that any of these mindshare gainers actually explicitly shill the token itself.
Like, no one will say LOUD to $1 because they don't care

exactly
wouldn’t also make sense for anyone to sacrifice its brand and shill LOUD
+ when would look at it, no one high in mindshare on kaito actually talk about price
won’t be different for loudio
