A guy getting a forehead tattoo for 40 SOL is the most cursed thing in this market Iβve ever seen.
Within hours after launch,
@Pumpfun GO had 320 active bounties, 1K submissions, and ~$205K in rewards.
The minimum bounty is only $5, so anyone can instantly become a buyer of labor, content, or attention.
By now:
β $58K paid out
β $265K unclaimed rewards across 750 bounties
β 3.1K submissions
Still, the forehead tattoo incident showed why the upside could get very stupid very fast.
Dude went viral and
$BOUTYWORK ran way harder than the actual bounty was worth.
Trenchers used to raid for
$WIF,
$CHILLGUY for free. Now Alon wants communities working for their bags while actually getting paid.
I get it. He wants the game to be more fun.
A token creator can now put $5K into escrow and pay people globally for memes, TikToks, Spaces, clips, IRL content, and whatever stunt can push the narrative forward.
People donβt even need to gamble on the token. They can take fixed SOL rewards while the community takes the market risk.
Best case, every token treasury becomes a customer acquisition budget.
Token launches β dev earns fees β GO bounties β hunters compete to produce content β more buyers β more fees β treasury grows β next campaign.
A full marketing team can now be summoned from the internet.
Why do I think GO might create a fresh wave for memecoins?
β plugs perfectly into every
Pump.fun product
β largest factory of internet-native assets that need attention to survive
What I'm really waiting for is enough completed tasks so GO starts creating a public market price for human attention.
Web2 knows pieces of this data, but it hides them inside ad auctions and private brand deals.
If we keep getting more fun on the internet, pumpfun keeps printing money and more
$PUMP gets soaked up.
I riding that thesis.
