The baton moves forward Onwards 🐎

I’m glad we have a horse 🐎 in the race now. Got bored of cats and dogs. Onwards 🐎

I’ve spoken quite a bit about why I’m bullish on $BATON, but I want to explain why I’m equally excited about Onwards 🐎 and why I think the pairing between the two is so interesting. First, the lore behind $Onwards is genuinely one of my favourite parts. Alon has actually replied to a Baton Corporation tweet with “onwards 🐎”. What's even more interesting is that Baton Corporation itself used to sign off its posts with “onwards 🐎”. Think about that for a second. The same phrase, the same horse emoji, and a connection to the actual company behind Pumpfun. It's not some random narrative that the community had to manufacture out of thin air. There's already a story there. But the lore is only half of why I like it. The bigger reason is the relationship between Onwards and Baton through Pumpfun's Custom Pairs. Normally, when a new derivative starts attracting attention and volume, it competes with the original coin for liquidity. Traders rotate out of one into the other, and the communities end up fighting over which one deserves the attention. With Onwards paired to Baton, that dynamic changes. Trading activity in Onwards can generate buying pressure for Baton through the paired liquidity mechanism. So instead of Onwards having to steal attention and liquidity from Baton to succeed, activity in Onwards can actually contribute to Baton's growth. That's what makes this so interesting to me. You have two different communities, two different identities, and two different reasons for people to speculate, but their success doesn't have to come at each other's expense. Someone can discover Onwards because of the Alon lore, trade it without ever holding Baton directly, and still contribute to the ecosystem surrounding Baton. And as Baton grows, the association gives Onwards an even stronger narrative to build around. I think people are underestimating how powerful that relationship could become if both communities continue growing. Baton represents the actual company behind Pumpfun. Onwards represents a phrase tied to that company's history and even echoed by Alon himself. The lore connects them, and the pairing gives that connection an economic dimension. That's a much more compelling setup to me than two unrelated memes competing for the same liquidity. I don't see Onwards as competition to Baton. I see it as a complementary bet on the same broader narrative. And the more volume Onwards attracts, the more interesting that relationship becomes.
