I have not announced my next role, but it is not with a memecoin platform.”Misinformation or epic troll?

Pump.fun continued: “And what’s better than doing the very thing you love? Believe it or not, but David has launched over 100 coins himself. [...] A memelord at heart, David will be in charge of pump dot fun’s new internal trading desk, which will be in charge of launching over 1,000 coins per day!”Binance publication in response to Pump.fun’s post.
