For a moment, Pump.fun felt like it waschanneling the internets ID.

Anyone could make a meme coin and set up a livestream to hype it.

Now, citing its inability to keep up with moderation, Pump.fun has shut down live streaming.

This is the state of the trenches.

Thats a list of bad things that had already happened.

Pump.funs live streams confirmed everyones worst fears about crypto.

Earlier this week, Pump.fun was not a safe and respectful environment.

It also promised complete transparency as to what would and wouldnt be allowed.

Pump.fun without the live streaming component is a losing proposition.

The reason the site exploded in recent weeks is because of the wild shit people were doing on camera.

Pump.fun didnt say when its live streaming service would return and did not return Gizmodos request for comment.
