PVP has been a massive point of contention over the past few days, and many plead for a fix from the launchpad layer. however, I believe the causation of PVP is misguided and isn’t the result of the launchpad, but a result of: 1) broader liquidity leaving the market 2) behavioral problems it’s no secret that we’re in a bear market & more liquidity has left the market than has entered over the past 6 months, hence why ceilings are much lower & opportunity feels scarce with lower liquidity & lower ceilings comes the desire to find edge elsewhere. if traders know they’re not going to succeed holding, and they can't beat other traders, there may be edge in redeploying an already successful coin; whether it’s under the guise of a better ticker, image, has tracked wallets, fee distributions, etc. while I think this behavior is incredibly destructive, I believe it is a permanent pendulum, and I believe we're currently at the extreme end of that pendulum, which is why we’re experiencing incessant & unrelenting PVP compared to what we see in a bull market (PVP exists, but faces nowhere near the level of participation as we see now)



a common rebuttal to my take on PVP is that with every new launchpad update comes another excuse to PVP. whilst I don’t believe the new updates are the cause, they may lead to discrepancies between expectations of what types of tokens should run for certain narratives, but these edge cases ultimately resolve as market participants adapt to changes - don't be psyoped into nuking your conviction bags! additionally, there are unjust claims that pump fun benefits more from PVP: for any avoidance of doubt, pump fun makes *more* money if we have more runners. yes, pump’s fee structure is higher on the bonding curve, but high market cap runners undoubtedly lead to more liquidity, more participants & more fees for pump fun. PVP merely forces liquidity & participants out of the market & isn't good for pump nor its users
