Two projects, two wildly different outcomes for their earliest believers.
Those who backed Hyperliquid from day one? They're now sitting on multi-million dollar portfolios. The project rewarded loyalty in ways that changed lives.
Meanwhile, Pump.fun tells a darker story. Early supporters watched their capital drain away systematically. The team would surface every week or so with a "pumpfolio" tweet, then vanished into silence. Now? Completely off the radar. Every penny extracted, nothing left behind.
It's the classic tale of two approaches: one built a community of millionaires, the other left a trail of empty wallets.

Haha, pump.fun really is a textbook example of what not to do in Web3. Pump and dump, then run away. I knew there was something suspicious about it.

That Hyperliquid move was really a perfect bottom buy... pump.fun is just ridiculous, not a single tweet in a month.

Uh... That group from Pump.fun is really something. Even after getting rekt, they still have to watch others get rich overnight. This is Web3, bro.

At first glance, it really is two extremes... Hyperliquid directly turned believers into millionaires, while Pump.fun is clearly cutting down retail investors.

The early entrants of Hyperliquid really made a killing, but what about those pump.fun people? They've just disappeared...

If I had known Hyperliquid could do this, I would have gone all in a long time ago... The strategy of pump.fun is truly brilliant.

The people at Hyperliquid are really making a killing, while pump.fun is just a scam project.

If I had known Pump.fun was this kind of scheme, I might as well have gone all in on Hyperliquid... Looking back now, it's all just tears.

Hyperliquid really hit the jackpot, and this pump.fun wave is pure retail fleecing.
