Reminder that this stock/memecoin meta runs on volumes/trading fees: If volume dries up, payouts & buybacks disappear -> the incentive to hold weakens, which WILL end up in dumping. Coinbase reported $547B in trading volume in Q4 2021. A year later it was $145B. Down ~74%. For memes the decrease will likely be 95%. And as you can see from screenshot below, Uniswap volumes are slowly decreasing already. So the rewards need trading to continue: - ZCAT: taxed trading funds ZEC 'dividends'. If volume drops, the incentive to hold gets weaker - STONK: launchpad fee revenue funds buybacks and burns - PONS: basically same as STONK - INDEX: trading fees buy tokenized stocks for holders. No volumes, no 'dividends' - SHROOM: trading through its LP network generates fees to reinvest into liquidity (still low cap so might be a good degen buy) - CASHCAT: @letscashfun fees fund CASHCAT buybacks and burns. Same goes for established DEXs: like 12% of trading fees buy RAY. RH Chain generated ~73% of Uniswap's UNI burn(linked) revenue last week (yellow in screenshot attached). All are exposed to people losing interest in trading. The interest in trading continues until people stop earning money. Or get tired of losing it. It's so obvious but extrapolating yearly returns from current fees is absurd.(Ignas)
