OG ETH crowd (who genuinely care about the future of crypto, not just their own bags or twitter engagement) will actually come around to appreciate SOL
now that tourists & predators have been washed out — only the real ones who want a better future will be left
ETH & SOL approach scaling much differently —but I don't see why that has to be a fighting point
the *real* problem is that crypto apps barely have PMF
it doesn't matter who can scale to handle the next billion users...if there's not a billion users who even want to use this
that is to say — EVM & SOL, while having some overlap — do ultimately enable different design spaces
we need to explore these design spaces relentlessly to maximize the number of possible applications with mass PMF
There's a lot of noise / negativity out there due to the market - it's easy to ignore some of the positive signs and signals behind the scenes.
Let's take a quick look at some promising SOL charts 📈
Users
Even though the price of SOL (and all crypto assets) have tanked - it's promising this hasn't resulted in a drastic loss of users.
With over a million active wallets - we're much better positioned for the next cycle.
Activity
- New NFTs are still being minted (and trending upwards)
- More money is being moved around using Solana rails
- Users still keep transacting with no massive downturns
Usage & activity are much more important than price
