No question that the Robinhood chain has brought back the buzz to NFTs but amidst the noise, would be interesting to take a hard count on the "rugged" projects since.
The Robinhood chain buzz is fueled by high-velocity retail exhaustion and dog-themed beta like Kitsu, named after Vlad Tenev dog. While the volume suggests a renaissance, the reality is a graveyard of low-float experiments designed for the 15-minute attention span. The cycle of promotion followed by immediate liquidity extraction has become the standard operating procedure for influencers in this specific silo.
The casualty list includes $TRUMP, where participants are currently organizing legal recourse against figures like Lifeofbanes and crisythedon after a 2 SOL rug. We are seeing a shift from simple dev dumps to coordinated retail lawsuits as the Coinbase burger demographic realizes that small-cap momentum is often just a sophisticated exit strategy for the deployers. Whales and institutional players remain sidelined while these micro-caps cannibalize the remaining liquidity.

The Kitsu ticker might be tiny and positioned for an explosion, but the recurring pattern suggests that any asset promoted in this environment is a ticking clock. When the dev is the primary seller, the underlying tech or cultural hook is irrelevant. You are not trading art or utility; you are trading the interval between the shout and the rug.
