This track record of three 28x+ gains supports the post's claim of consistently hitting 30x multipliers and reinforces the argument that Pumpfun has the potential to drive the next major onboarding wave.

Just what is happening 

The bigger accounts on are incentivized to call a lot, they earn on the volume via their call outs

So they call a ton of dog shit on the pumpfun TL
