Normally CEXs ask tokens for a listing which they will market dump. Thatβs why paid CEX listings are bearish.
If CEXs want to list $AVICI, they need to pay @avici DAO $50k and market buy $100k on open market if they want endorsement.
This is how it should be done if you have a killer product that will scale to millions of users.
Peopleβs bank.

Just fade this guy if you hate money.
the first letsbonk.fun memecoin i bought is 'LetsBONK'
CA: CDBdbNqmrLu1PcgjrFG52yxg71QnFhBZcUE6PSFdbonk
my reasons for buying:
- i'm seeing a lot of chatter about it in the trenches and it probably has the most mindshare of anything launched on LetsBONKfun rn
- it has the most trading volume of any of the coins launched on the platform
- it is meme'd after the name of the platform, which is kind of free marketing for it
i'm attaching a receipt of my bonkbot buy of the token
again, do note that this is a purely degen play and not financial adviceβi'm basically doing what i do in the trenches, but bringing it here to twitter to celebrate the excitement of the LetsBONKfun platform launch
in other words, this could go to zero... but i'm degening anyway 'cos why not!
