Token prices are too damn high

The post states that cryptocurrency token prices are excessively high, accompanied by an image showing a chart or visual related to token pricing.

Background

- Anthony Pompliano ("Pomp") is a well-known crypto investor, entrepreneur, and podcaster who has been a prominent Bitcoin and digital-asset bull since the 2010s. - This tweet (with its deliberately vague "Token prices are too damn high" title) is likely satirical or contrarian — Pomp normally argues that crypto assets are undervalued. The image appears to mock mainstream complaints that crypto prices are overheated. - The joke depends on familiarity with Pomp's usual pro-crypto stance: he rarely, if ever, genuinely argues prices are "too high." So the tweet is almost certainly ironic, riffing on the common refrain that "fees are too damn high" or that critics always say crypto is in a bubble.
