ThreadGuy Calls Out Crypto Builders: Why Pump.fun Dominates the Meme Coin Scene

In a recent clip shared by CounterParty TV, popular crypto influencer ThreadGuy (@notthreadguy) didn't hold back on his views about the crypto building community. He targeted those self-righteous developers who look down on meme coins, arguing that they're out of touch with what really drives success in the space.

The clip, posted on X (formerly Twitter), features ThreadGuy explaining how platforms like Pump.fun are crushing it financially. "Every business in crypto would trade places with Pump.fun right now if they could," he stated emphatically. For those new to the term, Pump.fun is a decentralized platform on the Solana blockchain that makes it super easy to launch and trade meme coins—those fun, often viral tokens inspired by internet memes.

ThreadGuy compares Pump.fun's revenue to other projects, noting it pulls in about $2 million a day. In contrast, he mentions projects like Axie Infinity (likely referring to "Axiom" in the transcript, possibly a mishearing) making less, highlighting how meme-focused tools are outpacing traditional builds. He urges builders to decide: "Do you want to be right or do you want to make money?"

This resonates deeply in the meme token world, where speed, community, and virality trump complex tech stacks. Pump.fun has democratized token creation, allowing anyone to spin up a meme coin with minimal hassle, leading to explosive growth and fees that benefit the platform.

The post sparked reactions on X, with users like @umamisensei chiming in: "The reality is meme coins are simply a store of value. Some of the biggest businesses... will end up starting as meme coins." Others echoed the sentiment, betting on creator economies and meme markets.

For blockchain enthusiasts, this is a reminder that in crypto, user adoption and revenue often come from unexpected places. If you're diving into meme tokens, keep an eye on platforms like Pump.fun—they're not just games; they're serious business generators.
