1/ $DANKR A week ago, I spotted a new token launch on FC by Clanker. It caught my attention because smart traders that @reachbot follows started buying it. But within minutes of checking, I knew something was off: - The dev account (@bluechipstocks on FC) had just started posting 10 days ago. - No links to any other platform. - No follows from reputable Farcaster users (1K+ followers looked fake) - A one-page website with vague promises For me, it was obvious launch by fake account. I thought it would be exposed quickly.

Lol. I remember seeing this and being concerned that it might be competitive with what Quotient is building, but also thinking wow, they're at a 250k mc pre MVP? maybe our token will do 250k too!

The sad thing is, often if you're a more legit builder, you wouldn't overpromise huge things - like they did, for example: mobile apps, all types of features, in a month, etc. You care more about your reputation, and so you wouldn't see the big numbers on the token THAT fast
