"I am the face behind ‘Why are you gay’ meme. I have some excitign news for you. The ‘Why Are You Gay’ memecoin is dropping on Solana!"
Talk about a full-circle moment.
As with any meme coin, you never know if it’s going to the moon or to the meme graveyard – but hey, we’re here for the internet chaos. 🚀
🪙 CZ's Tokenomics 2.0: A Crazy Idea
🚀 CZ just dropped a spicy idea for tokenomics – one that might actually make sense.
Instead of devs dumping tokens on retail, they get their bags only if the token price performs.
Here’s the TL;DR on CZ’s Tokenomics 2.0:
✅ Devs start with 10% of tokens
✅ The rest unlock only if the token doubles its previous unlock price and stays there for 30 days
✅ No “buy high, devs dump” shenanigans – just price-linked unlocks
✅ Smart contracts handle all the logistics
Basically, if you’re building a token, you gotta believe in it enough to hold – or starve. 🔥
Savage, but also fair. 🤷
A radical model:
➡️ 10% unlocked at launch, funding the project team.
➡️ Future unlocks (max 5% at a time) only if:
1️⃣ 6 months have passed since the last unlock
2️⃣ Token price has doubled and stayed there for 30+ days
For example 👇
If the token launches at $1 in January, no unlocks happen unless it holds above $2 for a month.
If that happens by August, 5% more tokens unlock. If the price hits $6+, the next unlock can happen March next year – but only if it holds.
The team can delay or reduce unlocks, but they can’t increase or accelerate them. A third-party-controlled smart contract ensures fairness.
This model prevents token dumps, aligns incentives for long-term growth, and rewards real adoption.
CZ said that he might back some projects adopting this model.
While many users said it’s a great model, others scrutinized by saying it’s theoretical not practical as VCs usually give their terms.
A user argued that it could also lead to price manipulation just before the token unlock, to which CZ replied that no system can be 100% foolproof – but this model helps reduce it.
🍀 Craving Hopium?
The market is finally turning green, and those numbers only are pure Hopium for degens.
Trump is hosting the first-ever White House Crypto Summit this Friday, and that’s where we might get more details.
So, is this the start of the biggest institutional crypto buy-in ever? Or just another round of political hopium?
Regardless of what may come, this is a well-earned breather after the brutal bloodbath in the past week.
But, as always, conviction is key.
Stay strong, hold tight, and remember: those who endure, win.
