A Week in CT: June 01-08, 2025

gm, doppelbangers. Today is a big day. This is the first ever doppelbanger post.
A WEEK IN CT
Sunday, June 1. @StayLoudio’s $LOUD experiment (attention = token value) goes live.
Presale Phase 1: 225,000 $LOUD for 0.20 SOL → over 20 SOL
Presale Phase 2: 56,250 $LOUD for 0.05 SOL → over 5 SOL
Market cap now sitting around $2M, a week after launch
Verdict: solid 100x returns for early investors, but the loud-to-market-cap ratio felt off for most
Takeaway: Either attention ≠ token value, or CT’s attention is just currently overvalued
Monday, June 2. CT calls out @frankdegods and @LexaproTrader shenanigans over $DEAL pump
The timeline:
$DEAL goes live
Seconds later: @frankdegods buys in at $24.6K market cap
3 minutes later: @LexaproTrader drops bullish thesis thread
The sus:
Frankdegods buying “3% of a fresh shitter after 0 on chain activity for days”
Lexapro’s typing speed to drop a bullish thesis that fast. Lexapro defended himself, claiming he wrote it pre-launch with publicly available information
$DEAL is from Ryder Ripps, who was previously sued for selling replicas of BAYC NFTs
Tuesday, June 3. KaitoAI goes beyond Twitter. The crypto social tracking platform is launching on Tiktok and Instagram, planning separate yaps leaderboards for each.
Wednesday, June 4. BLOCKWORKS: Pump.fun plans $1B token sale at $4B FDV. Magic Eden announced officially building the $TRUMP Wallet (in a now deleted tweet)

200 founders activating Solana in the APAC region
Over 60 countries represented
