    Seven of the Wildest Meme Coin Livestreams on Pump.fun

    Livestreaming with an attached meme coin was popularized this year after a mom promised sexual acts if her apparent son’s meme coin, called LiveMom, hit specific market caps.  Despite promising to pour milk over her “36DDs,” the same ones her son allegedly “actually suckled on,” the pair ghosted with nothing really crazy going down. But clearly, some degens saw the viral sensation this became and tried to capitalize on it. Quickly, a flurry of copycat tokens launched, including LiveSis, countles...

    It started on a whim. Two devs, a laptop, and an idea to develop a platform for launching crypto tokens fairly, cheaply, and easily—all while minimizing the risk of scams. The product wasn’t perfect—far from it. And after launching in January, it arguably led to more crypto scams than would have existed without it; they just looked different. But by the end of the year, the Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun had become undeniably the most culturally significant crypto project of the year. Mayb...

They also teased future CULT airdrops and compared the project to a religion. “We waited for the right timing. You only get one chance to set the tone for a launch,” Fang told Decrypt. “We were giving away a lot of size, so it had to be right. Waiting some months doesn’t matter in the big scheme of thing...
