Other theses on this trade
We’re gonna get a leg up to 30-35M then pond launch to 50m+. It’s written in the script.
Sure. This is my 4th acc. At 200 followers I’ll do it. 1,000 $PAID tokens to each follower.
Glad I was able to donate to 63 people in the trenches! I’ll do it one more time in a half hour to all my followers. Let’s win.
40-45mil will be tonight mark my words. look at the chart. everynight it pops up 15mil. everday it drops down 6-8mil. that is normal. night pump. day pull back. its actually healthy and it shakes out the weak hands that get anixous all day long. enjoy the ride.
There’s always a point where a ticker goes from: “Should I ape?” to “Fuck, I should’ve aped.” $PAID feels like it’s trying to cross that gap. Attention is liquidity in the trenches. And if that attention keeps feeding volume → fees → $PAID buybacks → burns… you’ve got a narrative that can become more reflexive the bigger it gets. Everyone wants confirmation. Until confirmation is a giant green candle. The market doesn’t send a calendar invite before price discovery. Watch $PAID closely. The easy part of the move, if the thesis keeps proving out, doesn’t last forever.
Degens chase candles. Smart trenches watch where the money is flowing BEFORE the candle. With $PAID, I’m watching one loop: Attention → volume → fees → $PAID buys → burns. If attention keeps expanding AND the on-chain numbers follow, that’s when this gets spicy. Forget arguing about targets. Watch the mechanism. Watch the wallets. Watch the burns. When narrative and on-chain flows start saying the same thing, pay attention.
Everyone says they want to catch a runner early. Then they spend the entire early phase waiting for CT to validate their conviction. By the time the timeline is screaming $PAID, the screenshots are everywhere, volume is flying and the burn narrative is common knowledge… the information advantage is gone. The play right now is simple: Watch whether attention converts into volume, and whether volume converts into meaningful $PAID buybacks + burns. If that loop starts accelerating? You won’t need CT to tell you what’s happening. The chain will.
CT doesn’t buy fundamentals first. CT buys attention. Attention brings volume. Volume brings candles. Candles bring screenshots. Screenshots bring fresh apes. $PAID’s setup gets interesting because that attention can potentially feed fees → buybacks → burns. So the narrative doesn’t just spread. It can feed itself. Don’t discover the ticker after it owns your timeline. Track the volume. Track the burns. Track the attention. The trenches move fast when all three start ripping together.
The craziest part about $PAID? It doesn’t need to BE the attention. It needs to sit underneath where the attention flows. Memecoin metas rotate every week. New ticker. New creator. New narrative. New trenches. Degens chase whatever has the most eyes. But if all that rotating attention creates volume that ultimately feeds $PAID buybacks + burns? Then $PAID isn’t trying to win one meta. The bull case is $PAID eats off EVERY meta. More eyes → more volume → more fees → more $PAID bought → less supply. While everyone else is hunting the next runner… I’m watching the coin trying to become the house the runners pay. If that clicks with CT, things could get very interesting very fucking fast.
The trenches know one universal truth: Attention is the best market maker. Eyes hit the ticker → apes hit the buy button → volume goes brrrr → chart moves → CT starts posting → more eyes arrive. But $PAID has an extra layer. The attention can generate activity. The activity generates fees. And those fees can feed $PAID buybacks + burns. So while most memes need attention just to survive… $PAID’s bull thesis is that attention actually feeds the machine. More creators. More eyeballs. More volume. More burns. Then the burns become MORE content. That’s a fucking flywheel. Most people won’t understand it until they see it happening on the chart. Trenches veterans know what happens when attention, liquidity, and narrative all start compounding at once. That’s when “I’ll buy the dip” turns into: “Wen dip?”
