I watched the "OG" $hoodrat team pull every solana-brained trick in the book today trying to vamp the winner. And it was genuinely embarrassing to watch. So, there was an OG hoodrat that launched before the main runner. It was absolute shit with cringe low-effort content that was rugged by the team not once but twice. The winner launched later, got an S-tier marketing team pushing out fire content, and got 15x the holders in a few days. After seeing it winning, they tried everything to vamp it. First they bundled it at the lows. Then they had @badattrading_ put out a nonsense and somewhat embarrassing fud post at the same time. Then the "OG" account came back from death and started tweeting again (cringe content, but still). The bundlers accumulated 30% on top of their 40% bundle to burn in true solana fashion, just to create some fireworks and get people to rotate over. It was a fun 15 minutes before they started unloading their bundles. But this whole effort reminded me of something. People will see a fire narrative, identify it as a winner, and instead of bidding at 10m and riding it to billions they'll try these low-effort gimmicks just to get their 50k entry. Yes, really, that was their MC after the "OG" team abandoned it. I don't want to get into the OG argument because hoodrat isn't a coin that was deployed now for the first time. Many teams tried to do it on other chains without ever putting the work in, and of course it makes sense for everyone to realize this is THE narrative for robinhood chain sonce it's literally a hoodrat. The fact that some people were quick to deploy it because they had better bots, or they deploy stuff for a living, means nothing in this context. What matters is that there was a team willing to run it properly for the first time. Hire artists, social media managers,a proper marketing team. Do IRL pr stunts outside robinhood HQ. If you really can't see the difference and you're just coping about the OG on the TL, all I'm saying is your cope will be 1000x higher in the following weeks. If you can't tell the difference between a competent team running a top-tier narrative vs a scam team fumbling a top-tier narrative, maybe this space will never be good to you. I saw this same movie when pepe launched in 2023. The cope from "OG pepe" holders - people invested in random pepe coins that were literally just reposting the same pepe image on X over and over - was insane while pepe itself ran into the hundreds of millions. The fact that this is happening again, with even bigger coping on the TL while hoodrat is only at 10M, should tell you everything you need to know. You either get it or you don't. And falling for these cheap tricks now will be the trade you're rewriting in your head all winter. But this is a rat eat rat world. Better bet on the bigger rat.
