Other theses on this trade
i think people are looking at $PAID too narrowly as just another memecoin play the use case goes way beyond memecoin traders. any X account can have a token created around them and have the creator fees directed to them. they don't need to buy crypto, connect a wallet or even know the coin exists beforehand that's what makes this interesting imagine a creator, founder, athlete or influencer randomly getting paid through X Money because people are trading a coin around them. @UsePaid then publicly shows them where that money came from. that alone puts the project in front of people who may have never touched a memecoin before 80% of the fees go to the person and 20% buys $PAID off the open market and burns it so the potential loop is basically tokens launch → people trade → people on X get paid → they/their audience notice → more attention → more tokens + volume → more $PAID bought and burned PAID doesn't need everyone on X to become a memecoin trader. crypto traders can generate the volume while regular people on X are on the receiving end are the marketing, as we saw with Nikita. thousands of people getting PAID eventually becomes something completely different
