Founders who are leaving ETH for Solana or other new ecosystems are not the smartest.

I generally don't fully understand why this would happen (in either direction). It's like saying you are leaving Python for Rust.

Short term, I understand how the switch in either direction would provide hype and marketing push. Long term, what counts is the product (did you build something people care about?) the chain is/will be abstracted.

Imo it’s more like setting up shop in a new small town in the middle of nowhere, disconnected from everything else and speaking a different language 

While EVM ecosystem is this massive city, connected to other cities with a great transport system, everybody speaks the same language, the law is the same etc

Volume only says so much 

Solana might be a good place to trade

More tx per block, almost no cost etc so if you want to be fast, it offers advantages in that aspect 

But in terms of actually building something it falls short of eth in many ways. 

The proven security of eth, the massive existing infrastructure provided by years of people building various things

the ease of all the chains having the same coding language, which also allows us to learn from the thousands of past exploits 

The ability to make what you build multichain over all the EVM compatible chains without having do create 2 versions

As we have many times seen when sol gets real giga traffic during day airdrop claims, the network is barely usable for hours. If you have built something there this can be very problematic for your users  

Most important to compare is the amount of volume being spent on making use of various dapps and the growth of dapps
On the network

Why does Solana have so much volume then?
