Pump Not Fun! The meme platform is turning into the 'dark web', with violence, guns, and self-harm all present.

Following our last summary of the eye-catching behaviors made by Pump fun to attract traders, the ecosystem of the platform has undergone significant changes, with issuers raising token values gradually shifting from 'eye-catching' to 'threatening.'

According to information shared by X users, many people who are willing to do anything for money are using Pump fun's live streaming feature to threaten viewers, saying 'if the token market value does not reach XXX, then I will XXX.'

For example, there was a young boy who looked like a high school student threatening that if the token market value did not reach 60,000 USD, he would kill his whole family with a shotgun.

Or if the market value does not reach the specified threshold, they abuse dogs, fish, chickens, cats, and even children.

Many even choose to attract attention through self-harm or threats of suicide.

Here's another clear example: if you don't ask the developers to introduce moderation on the live stream, #PumpFun may stop working https://t.co/dmPbYrdJgP pic.twitter.com/2nhK4uRKXG

Pump fun is developing in the direction of the dark web, filled with violence, darkness, and eroticism. The prediction platform Polymarket even has a prediction market betting on whether the Pump fun site will be blocked by the United States before 2025, with results showing a likelihood of being blocked greater than 97%.

While making money is certainly important, investors should still pay attention to the culture or background represented by these meme coins and not allow this atmosphere to continue to ferment in the Web3 industry.
