Pre pump-fun... to launch a token.. you needed a dev.. you needed solid funds.. on ETH you had to spend like 5-6k minimum to deploy contract etc... during peak bull markets it would was like 20-30k sometimes...you needed marketing teams cuz you are spending money you dont want it to fail.. You had whales ready to buy and support launches cuz there were only like 3-4 devs and they had strong relationships with whales and traders etc... There was no.. someone aping $20 at launch and up 1 million and full stacking by luck while 99% others lost money... it was true PVE. Memecoins were basically big business launches. Sniping was also so damn expensive that there werent many. You needed like millions of dollars worth EDEN or some insane set up to snipe anything... If you were launching a token, you legit had like 200-300k behind the launch to build charts, to give it a solid chance, exchanges, etc. Exchanges even would list you because so few memecoins would launch. If you bought a token even after few days you had shot of hitting cuz coins lasted weeks, months. This is why token like SHIBA actually flipped DOGE at one point. The dev community was also so small that if any dev actually rugged or didnt give it a real shot everyone knew and would literally never ape their launches gain and they were fully done. There was massive incentive and push for the devs to make the token succesful. now any pleb can launch a token with zero infrastructure for $10 and average survival time of tokens is few hours max. You definitely cannot leave a token you bought overnight. Basically a money transfer of memecoin markets to pumpfun team. This is why if you are a skemmer or rugger this is the golden bull for you. Rugging an skemming is making people millions not building.
