I made this chart on August 14.

In 11 days, BTC rose from 63k to 80k, and most projects on the leaderboard outperformed the market.

$HYPE +50%, $PUMP +60%, $LIT
close to +50%.

To be honest, these 11 days made me more certain of one thing. After this cycle, the filter for altcoins has changed. In the past, people looked at narratives and sectors; now the market is asking a more direct question: where did the money you made go?

Buybacks are the hardest answer to fake. Whether there is revenue, and where that revenue goes, is all clear on-chain.

I expect DBR to follow this wave too, but honestly I’m not in a hurry. 100% of protocol revenue is used for buybacks, treasury at 31 million, circulating market cap under 90 million. It’s the position on the leaderboard that makes me feel the most at ease.
