The first one-person unicorn will be some solo dev’s project with a coin

Arguably may already have happened? Could make an argument for $GOAT

But tokens are not equity so maybe doesn’t count as a unicorn even.

Perhaps but that is an adjacent / different conversation to the OP

it will briefly touch 1b and then deflate like the rest. i think it having a token is actually worse

Well yea it could just be a normal business that reaches a 1b valuation. I’m theorizing it will be a token though
