What’s up traders, this is The 13th Hour: the newsletter bring you the latest in memecoin & trench news and we’re back for another epic edition on this beautiful Wednesday afternoon.

With me again today is none other than The Timekeeper!

The Timekeeper:

“I turned myself into a clock! I’m clock-faced Timekeeper!”

Great look Timekeeper! And very tasteful Rick & Morty reference.

The Timekeeper: “Wen Rick&Morty-coin?”

I’m sure there’s someone out there who can CTO and Rick & Morty coin, Timekeeper, that’s a great idea.

Before we get ahead of ourselves and start launching securities violations, though, let’s see what the news has in store for us today!

Today’s Topics:
🚀 Launchcoin Launches Into the Stratosphere

⚔️ Launchpad Wars Enter Act 2

🔥 Watch These 3 Coins as Trenches Heat Up

🚀 Launchcoin Snags Massive Valuation

The token of the Believe.app web3 app, “Launchcoin,” has gone on a meteoric run the last 48 hours, rising from under $20M on Monday to $220M as of the time of this writing.

The Believe app was created by Ben Pasternak and has been supported by web2 investing legend Nikita Bier (as we covered in a previous edition). Originally, the app was called “Clout.me” and allowed users to “rent” the time of influencers and celebrities by paying them to book a call. This created a market for these individuals, as if every person was themselves a memecoin.

Recently, however, the founders pivoted and launched the “Believe” app in place of Clout.me. The new functionality is focused around creators launching projects and ideas on the app, rather than having people invest directly in influencers.

Today, the app is rapidly climbing the Apple charts and the devs have been shipping new updates regularly.

Here are some things people have created using the Believe app:

Each of these projects has its own Solana coin so believers can hold stakes in the mini-projects and get a piece of the action.

The Timekeeper: “Not financial advice!”

Right, thank you Timekeeper. Keeping us away from legal trouble since the days of the Caroline Ellison polycule.

⚔️ The Launchpad Wars Heat UP

In our last edition, we covered the memecoin launchpad wars — PumpFun vs BonkFun vs Boop vs myGrandmasCoolNewLaunchpad — remember all that?

The Timekeeper: “Yo, my grandma’s launchpad is still in stealth bro don’t spoil the secret.”

Right, sorry Timekeeper. Well anyway the launchpad wars are raging on and the proverbial tea is HOT, sis.

Here’s what we mean.

Bonk guy is doing regular updates on the performance of BonkFun:

The founder of BonkFun is adding fuel to the fire by sharing Dune charts that show they’re taking a bite out of PumpFun’s dinner…

He’s also claiming the title of the home for “organic” communities…

It looks like Alon, the creator of PumpFun, is claiming that title too…

Uhh guys? Do we know who is who here?

Yeah, thank you Alon, we got it.

Anyone else have any takes?

Timekeeper! That’s a mean meme (the Timekeeper created that meme btw guys)

The Timekeeper: “When you can’t sell memecoins anymore, sell memecoin platforms. Just wait until my grandma’s memecoin platform launches. I’ll get so many Twitter followers then.”

You’ll be the first to know about it folks.

🔥 Trenches Heat Up; Watch These 3 Coins

Majors are pumping, Solana is up, and volume is coming back on-chain. The trenchers are ready for round… 4? 5 at this point? Round WHATEVER, it doesn’t matter — the trenches are ready to ape some koins and the charts are looking as juicy as ever.

Remember, this is not financial advice. Here at The 13th Hour we are a disembodied newsletter writer and a cartoon character, we do not have hands and we most definitely do not have Solana wallets.

That being said, we do have eyes and ears. So here’s what we’re looking at and listening to over the last 24 hours.

$UNICORN: A play on the “unicorn” title given to companies that are worth over 1 billion dollars. The Twitter makes playful reference to startup culture and tech company staples like the startup accelerator Y-Combinator. According to the website, “$UNICORN is a memecoin with no intrinsic value or expectation of financial return. It's not even real. It's a myth. You will likely lose money if you buy it.” Solid pitch.

$ASSDAQ: It’s err… a play on “Nasdaq.” Like the stock market index? But it’s “assdaq” and the picture is a girl with a… You know I’m sure you can figure this one out on your own, you’re a smart boy. Your mom’s proud of you. The mission of the coin’s community is to “flip the NASDAQ.” — as in be worth more than the NASDAQ index. Another solid pitch.

$GLONK: A fun, green little character that doesn’t have a whole lot of lore behind him except for his birth as a Ricky Gervais tweet. That’s right, the comedian. Here’s the tweet:

Instant Solana memecoin am I right?

The Timkeeper: “The trenches are back for sure… I don’t know if they’re sending their best this time around but it sure beats AI meta.”

Man, AI meta was a nightmare! Sure glad that’s over.

Aaand that’s time.

Thank you for tuning in and tolerating your totally-tenacious-newsletter-typist and the Timekeeper!

The Timekeeper: “They only tolerate you. They looooove me.”

Man, you pull up with new swag every time!

At this rate we’re gonna need to open up a fashion house. The 13th Hour merch store anybody?

The Timkeeper: “Stick to memecoin updates, typewriter boy”

You’re right king, how could I ever take the spotlight off you…

Until next time, readers, 13th Hour staff signing off!
