🔥 Decline of VC meta sparks a rise in fair launch models 🔥
Meme coins and pump funds are driving massive FOMO and seeing explosive growth 📈

✅ Pump Fund Highlights
Daily price surges of several multiples → solidifying their place as high-profit platforms.
BUT only 3% of traders made over $1,000, and just 0.8% made over $10,000.
Meanwhile, over 60% incurred losses 💸

✅ Evolution to DAO Meta
Platforms likenow enable DAOs to raise funds and distribute tokens 🤝
Largely insider-driven: leveraging connections and influencers to amplify scale and impact.
Example: AICC case with 0.5 SOL → 1000 SOL, creating massive FOMO.

⚠️ Risks & Similarities
Structure mirrors VC meta: early participants or DAO creators reap the profits⬆️.

Latecomer traders face higher risks of losses⬇️.
Issues like lack of transparency within DAOs (e.g., @aicceleratedao) are gaining attention.

In conclusion, achieving high returns in the crypto ecosystem requires building your own influence, and while DAO and pump fund metas continue to be major beneficiaries, participation should only be at a level where losses are manageable. Stay cautious, don’t give in to FOMO, and always DYOR (Do Your Own Research). The same goes for projects like @_kaitoai .
