Joe McCann price

The biggest question I get asked is: How do you get our attention or get us to “shill something”? So I figured I’d put this out in the open. First of all — Bonk Fun has retained a market share of 70%+ for the past 13+ days. There should no longer be any doubt that things can do well without us pushing them, because the market and volume are with us. Second — I see pretty much everything. I’m networked deeply behind the scenes. I talk to at least 100+ traders a day in the trenches — they shill me every ticker, scan everything, and ask me what I think daily. So I’d say I’m very locked in and in the know, even while working. For new pairs, it’s extremely hard for me to “support” them publicly at first, because they haven’t yet formed a real community and holder base. During the first week, most holders in new tokens are rotators — people looking to enter and exit trades fast. Only after this phase, when people stop flipping everything instantly, do you start to see who your core community really is — the ones who stick around and build belief. An example: if I “shilled” a new pair at a $100K MC, the odds are it would pump instantly. But in that candle, everyone would likely exit, because there’s no bigger catalyst — it becomes the candle. Rotators would load up big and then dump. As a community leader or CTO, your job is to build an almost cult-like following — a real core of true believers who actually have faith in the project. That’s when you benefit most from catalysts like KOL pushes or us getting involved. There are some really strong communities forming now. I’ve bought into some privately (just to show quiet support and alignment) — and if they keep growing organically, they can tap into things like our community grants, where support becomes public. When I say I’m in the trenches, this is what I mean. Beyond throwing darts at new pairs for the thrill, I’m constantly watching for what actually looks like a good community: building, creating content, and rallying a loyal group of holders working together. Bringing back the "hold and believe meta" aka pve.
