Ansem Responds to "Creator Token" Controversy: Misjudged Trust Assumptions, But Will Explore "Positive Crypto Attention Mechanism"

Odaily reports that Ansem posted on platform X, stating that his past judgments regarding celebrity participation in crypto projects were overly idealistic. He had assumed they would not "rug pull" millions of supporters, but this assumption has been proven wrong by reality. He said he will not make the same judgment error in the future.

However, Ansem emphasized that he is not a celebrity himself and has no intention of engaging in improper exit strategies through projects. He believes that Meme coins and narrative-based tokens may still play a "net positive" role in the crypto market, including attracting new users to the industry, providing speculative liquidity for the market, and revitalizing market sentiment during bear market bottoms.

Using Dogecoin and Bonk as examples, he stated that these types of assets have brought massive user adoption and wealth effects across different cycles. Dogecoin once reached a market cap of $11 billion, while Bonk helped boost sentiment within the Solana ecosystem during the低迷 period following the FTX collapse.

Ansem also noted that he entered the crypto industry in 2017, quit his job as a software engineer in 2021, and is currently co-founding the trading application BullpenFi while hosting the podcast project MarketBubble. He mentioned having participated in discussions about various Meme coins in the past but frequently encountered anonymous accounts that would position themselves in advance using liquidity structures and then "dump" in the opposite direction, turning him into a tool for attention. He emphasized that his current project represents the first time he has participated with "control over the majority of the token supply" and stated that he will attempt to find a balance between market attention and industry building.
