ETH has underperformed this cycle so far.

Why?

I've been an ETH maxi since I first got into blockchain, but its complexity can hinder mainstream adoption. Sending ETH cheaply and easily from point A to B is often frustrating due to network confusion. Unlike SOL, which is straightforward with no L1 or L2 distinctions, ETH can be a hassle.

Agree this is a factor, but the Solana L2s are coming so this divergence won't persist for long imo

Just watch as the VCs pivot and gaslight the manlets into believing, "No, Solana was always going to scale with L2s"

Damn, layer 2 on Solana ? Is that necessary …?

Solana is faster than eth l2s without needing an l2.
