my Ethereum/Solana post might've been misconstrued as 'anti-Solana' or 'anti-casino';
don't get me wrong - we're all gamblers here one way or another
I was referring to quality products and institutional adoption Ethereum provides - simply put, how +EV it is for the crypto industry - more than Solana
I like Solana, I use Solana - to be completely transparent, this cycle I've made more money on Solana chain than on Ethereum - and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon - casino flywheel in full effect
Solana isn't going anywhere, most of it is +EV for the industry - I just don't see a world where she replaces or even rivals ETH when it comes to impact on global crypto adoption
Solana shouldn't be 'Ethereum killer' - if not for the blatantly obvious reason that she would miserably fail at that, then for the glaringly obvious, simplistic reason that they inherently differ as ecosystems
Ethereum is a digital real-estate, a digital 'land' to build on, our chance at digital industrialization, complete adoption
Solana should aim for your average user experience, scalability and ease-of-access to the global digital casino where little Timmies of the world can hypergamble their way out of rats race
I believe anyone comparing the two is already using the wrong approach from the get-go - and that was the entire point of the post
apples and oranges - and I believe it should stay that way
I used to prefer Solana over Ethereum, as the 'shiny new toy' concept paired with simplicity, speed, convenience and basically free TXs - seemed +EV for crypto as a whole.
I wouldn't say my stance shifted entirely, but I'm beginning to understand real adoption, improvement, institutionalization, use-case and quality fundamentally sound products are all being built on Ethereum.
Solana has turned from a fun new concept to a glorified casino - Las Vegas of crypto sphere. ~1% make money, ~99% end up broke, retarded and with an STD.
real products are on EVM and I don't think anything ever changes that.
this is not a hate post against Solana - its usage is very clearly defined, albeit constrained by perpetual diminishing quality of crypto 'products' and use-cases.
Solana opens the crypto world to your regular hypergambling retail user - Ethereum opens the crypto world to entities operating on a sophisticated level, allowing for institutional acceptance.
Ethereum is a gateway to REAL crypto adoption in the world - a digital real-estate; just like Bitcoin is a gateway towards the digital store of value.
putting Solana in the same basket, ever, is simply put, wrong.
