i think a big reason why solana has never been interesting to me has something to do with how i'm just not on the same wavelength as its founders

I generally agree, but Toly is actually pretty cool when you hear him talk about stuff, imo.

The culture writ large on Solana is a bit too PvP-financial-nihilism, but the tech is genuinely interesting as a counterpoint to the ethereum-route.

I'm excited to watch them continue to experiment.
