“Kimchi was paid $6M by PumpFun” Maybe What actually interests me about this whole Kimchi “acquisition” are the status games behind it Whether you love or hate PumpFun, they have the kind of money that gets them access, and often times access is more powerful than money and clout combined – since it gives you status Status is the ultimate power in hierarchal human society Obviously status can be defined in many ways but in Kimchi’s vlog for example, we see him talking about how close he is with a woman who is high up at Bottega. Bottega is one of the most relevant fashion brands in today's world. He also banters with Gunna, who is, again, a very relevant rapper in pop culture This goes to show: either Kimchi built those connections himself or Pumpfun has given him access Either way, Pumpfun wins the status game here That's what has really stood out to me Yes I am partnered with them so I am biased, but this is an objective take that I think anyone with common sense will agree with What will be interesting is to see how this evolves from here
