Would you bet AGAINST sketchy Pump.fun coins to profit when they rug?

## Degens, I need your honest feedback on a product idea 🎯

TLDR: Building a mobile app to bet on memecoin outcomes – ESPECIALLY betting AGAINST coins you think will rug. Is this stupid or would you actually use it?

### The Problem I’m Trying to Solve:

You see a new Pump.fun coin launch. Red flags everywhere: – Anonymous dev – Copied website – Bot followers – Sketchy tokenomics

You KNOW it’s going to rug in 24 hours. But what can you do?

❌ Can’t short it (no futures for new coins) ❌ Can’t profit from your knowledge ❌ Just have to watch others get rekt

What if you could BET that it will rug and profit when it dies?

### The Idea:

Mobile app (PWA) where you can:

Bearish Bets: – “Will [COIN] rug in 24 hours?” → Bet $10, profit when it rugs – “Will [COIN] dump 50% today?” → Profit from your bear thesis – “Will [COIN] survive the week?” → Bet No on obvious scams

Bullish Bets: – “Will [COIN] 10x in 24 hours?” → Lower risk than buying ($10 bet vs $100 buy) – “Will [COIN] hit $1M market cap?” → Fixed risk exposure

Comparison Bets: – “Which pumps more today: BONK vs WIF vs POPCAT?” – “Which survives longer: [COIN A] vs [COIN B]?”

### Why This Might Be Better Than Trading:

1. Can profit from bearish calls (impossible to short new coins)
2. Fixed risk – bet $10, max loss is $10 (vs buying and getting rugged to $0)
3. Lower barrier – bet $5 instead of buying $100 of risky coin
4. Cleaner outcomes – no rug pulls in the prediction market itself

5. Can bet on comparisons – hard to trade “which pumps more”

   • Time-based (will it hold gains for 6 hours)?
   • Other?

8. How much would you bet per prediction?

   • $1-5
   • $10-20
   • $50-100
   • $100+

9. Be brutally honest: Would you ACTUALLY use this, or just scroll past it?

    Current Alternatives (Why build this?)

• Polymarket: Politics/macro, slow resolution (weeks), desktop-heavy
• Drift BET: General crypto, not memecoin-focused, not mobile-optimized
• Dumpy.fun: Shorting memecoins but requires finding counterparty

• Just trading: Can’t short new coins, high risk, ruggable

  Why I’m Asking:

  I’m in Solana Accelerator Thailand (Demo Day Nov 9). I can build this in 4 weeks BUT only if people actually want it.

  Don’t want to waste time building something nobody uses. Need real validation.

  If 50+ people say they’d use this, I’ll build it and launch in 3 weeks.

  Thanks for reading 🙏

  No shilling, no token, just validating if this solves a real problem before I build it.
