Buyback debates too often conflate: 1) tokenholders' desire for buybacks 2) tokenholders' desire for ownership & control of funds Reinvesting $ to grow the business is good for the token if the token owns the business Its not good if the equity owns everything

Pump should relaunch on MetaDAO - contribute all cash to a closed ICO raise - distribute ICO ownership tokens to Pump tokenholders pro rata - link up revenue to a treasury controlled by Futarchy I believe this would trade at a higher valuation than Pump’s existing token on day one. Right now Pump trades at a discount because outsiders like me don’t know exactly what is going on with the cash raised / how much of the revenue will go to buybacks vs equity going forward. You may believe this is not an issue at all (and you may be completely right! The point is that I don’t know) but I promise the market is haircutting valuation based on these concerns. Why not send those concerns to 0.00 with haste. Embrace the Futarchy

The team isn’t aligned with tokenholders now just bc they own some tokens They own all of the equity, have total control, the token has 0 rights or protections, and they have a history of explicitly picking equity > token

DoubleZero is one of the most ambitious projects we've ever invested in. Their technology will make all high performance blockchains faster and more performant. This is the innovation we need if we want on-chain price discovery for all of the world's assets. IBRL

My 2Z thesis in two paragraphs: Scaling blockchains is one of the biggest problems in the industry. Almost every blockchain's latency is ultimately network-bound. How much value do you create by cutting the block time of a chain in half? And how much value can you capture if every blockchain has to use you to stay competitive? A: Solve a big problem, win a big prize. The only path to true speed-of-light transmission is dedicated fiber. That’s how YouTube moves data around the world—you can’t match it over the public Internet. 2Z is building that for blockchains. If it works, it will be bigger than just blockchains. There, that's the thesis. (Congrats to @doublezero on the launch 👏) Note: Dragonfly is an early investor in 2Z.

These “fees” don’t make sense as a comp for protocols like ENA vs HYPE/PUMP “Fees” for Ethena are yield that needs to mostly pass through to USDe ENA will at most capture a small % of that For HYPE/PUMP its measuring actual protocol revenue which ~all goes to buybacks

Protocols like Aerodrome technically return funds to token holders, but these returns have yet to exceed cost of revenue from new token issuance. So token holders are certainly losing money, which is fine if you bet on growth, we just shouldn't pretend otherwise.

The scale of Pump's potential buybacks deserves attention. Over the past 7 days, they've averaged ~$1.8M daily revenue, up dramatically from the $680k they averaged in July. With 100% of revenue directed towards $PUMP buybacks, the math becomes compelling: Annualizing last week's performance would put them at $656M in potential buybacks against a $1.27B market cap. That's roughly 52% of circulating supply, with no new unlocks until July 2026 (assuming no dilution from an airdrop/incentives). For perspective: Hyperliquid averaged $3.52M daily revenue this week, translating to $1.28B annualized buybacks. But against their $15B market cap, that represents just 8.56%.
