Hot take, I don't think that the @_kaitoai marketplace is a good use of funds for projects to sink money into. Written as someone who didn't pay for votes for @campnetworkxyz in our latest "dashboard auction", some thoughts below on the key parties: - Projects: "Yaps" were going for $2 - $3 per vote. If you're a project and don't have a community organically shilling or posting about you, you are fucked. Spending $100k for votes to potentially win an auction is an absolutely horrible use case of hard-earned dollars. There was no "guarantee" that you were going to win - imagine wasting $100k for nothing and then not being able to hire an extra engineer / growth person that could actually ship product and accrue value to the Company It won't lead to more people talking about you - I think bear signal of just "paid votes" which gives off a huge botted vibe - KOLs: If you're a creator this is fucking epic. It's the chance to get paid for tweeting. This is in addition to how directly FDV is tied to founder-led marketing on the timeline - If you're Kaito, I think it's positive direction. A fuckton of KOLs were talking abou Kaito on the timeline (auctioning YAPs in public, shilling their bags) and it obviously sparked huge awareness on Kaito. Also assuming the standard "take rate" on marketplace fees, this will drive a fuckton of revenue towards them. Think the downside is with this "Yapper Leaderboard", it will lead to a lot of projects with much less hype spending 50% of the VC dollars that they've raised to try and win, which would be huge brand dilution to the quality of the projects listed on Kaito - especially when you look at the ones that are listed pre-auctions. Such is the balancing act for every public-facing SaaS product

let me get this straight someone registered the trademark for enron and is trying to resurrect it and you degens price this @ $500M? it was literally one of the biggest rugpulls of all time and now someone is using the brand to rugpull again… and you’re buying?
