Tbf, there is already a working model for this.

#Virtual on Base nailed the tokenomics:
•Continuous demand for $VIRTUAL from teams launching new pairs
•@virtuals_io retains tokens from each launch for market making

This creates constant buy pressure, keeps $VIRTUAL strong, and gives smaller ecosystem tokens enough liquidity to reach escape velocity.

Now compare that to @pasternak’s approach…

Yes, it’s noble to “let teams eat”—but right now, team selling is jet negative:
•It kills investor confidence
•It suppresses ecosystem growth

Some like $Kled, $Dupe, $Knet, and #Fitcoin try to solve it via market makers—
…but those models aren’t sustainable. They just extract value from the last bagholders.

Bottom line?
The current model isn’t just flawed. It’s unsexy for investors.
