Ethereum

the #1 thing that @solana has right now over @ethereum is people with money who are willing to deploy in a risk forward way at the edge and thereby push forward innovation. 

this is how innovation happens — but it's often messy in a way that can turn folks off (eg it's "just speculation"). but the lack of this means less capital bandwidth for ideas and experiments to both get funding and to break through into virality via price. memes and the innovation downstream of them are a prime example of this. 

if @ethereum wants to succeed, this needs to change — and we are seeing signs of it on @base, but it's still early and  we need a lot more help. 

so let this be a call to action: if you are someone who believes in Ethereum, holds significant amounts of ETH, and wants the economy to grow, now is the time to step up.. 

if this is you, please DM or shoot me an email at jesse@base.org. will be coming up with a plan in the new year.

he’s right. solana still has that nu money energy and many old ETH whales have checked out. 

need some new wealth creation events

it’s a tough sell trying to get old school ETH whales to check back into game, wouldn’t have the same energy anyway. wouldn’t depend on this strat

Being on a 10x or 20x ecosystem money run is a nice fuel for the ecosystem.

Need some of those wins for wider Base ecosystem.

Essentially gotta lift the ceiling. (Exchange listings help prob more than great defi integrations because net new money flows into base (supporter wallets)).

If coins don’t die at 1m on farcaster or don’t move to 100m but 1b, many more eth whales will be interested to deploy (bw 10m-100m to go to 1b+)
