Eh, solana will probably get eaten by some faster and shinier L1 in the coming years, it will not drive culture on a 10+ year time frame Think ethereum maybe has a bit more long-term resilience and, alongside that, cryptopunks. But agree it kind of feels boomer, still want one though

have you used many dapps on solana? I think solana is just as resilient as eth Both had catastrophic events that they recovered from (eth fork and ftx implosion). Arguably, solana recovered faster and better Solana today is where ETH was in 2020 around defi summer

Yeah tbh I transact more on Solana than on base these days My point is there are other L1s coming out that fill the Solana value prop better, and Solana capital is mercenary capital that will be happy to move to the next thing To date there has been no better alt to Solana, but you already see things Sui and HL coming up, and stuff like monad coming out soon as well

It’s taken Solana 4 years to get to where it’s at and you think one of these new ones is gonna supplant it in the next year? Building up community, culture and users takes time

No? I said “in the coming years”, in the context of punks being a decade+ long investment and the OP claim about new Solana wealth eliminating the desire for punks I’m not saying Solana will die off, I just don’t think it can produce enduring cultural artifacts at the relevance of replacing punks, I do see the culture as being pretty mercenary and not lindy (maybe it becomes lindy, I’m choosing to not take that bet) Even Ansem has said he’s selling his SOL in Q1 and planning to rotate to Monad
