The old-chain playbook has long since stopped working:

Fundraising → incentivize developers → points → users “farm” for half a year
Blast, @AbstractChain—they’re all based on this logic. The evolved version is MegaETH—telling a story and getting paid directly.
Now the new playbook is the opposite:
First use a meme to pull people in, let the wealth fairy-tale spread, then talk about the product.
The points story isn’t as good as one meme to pump the market—old chains build hype for half a year, while the new chain makes people rich overnight.
