We underestimate how much of Solana’s success comes from people having the raw audacity to support the chain at $8 and just working with a diligent focus as if it was worth $8,000. People inherently respect those traits so much that they can’t help but pay attention, follow the story, and help see the vision be manifested. Conviction is always the catalyst.

All you had to do was listen to everyone who told you Solana was the way…

Building with 100% decentralization in mind feels like missing the bigger picture. Utopian idealisms like that don’t survive in a world where real capital and real people are involved. Blockchain is about trustless systems for sure, but trust in financial markets are still earned through accountability. Building for a world where KYC doesn’t exist or there’s no regulatory framework to build within is irrational. What’s the alternative? A chaotic free for all where scams are normalized and the average crypto user is constantly at risk of being taken advantage of with no accountability for whoever preys on their ignorance or oversight. That’s not freedom and that’s not innovative. We can’t allow anarchism to hide behind decentralization and slowdown progress of this industry.

Our government’s approach to crypto regulation has been scattered and reactive and that’s an unfortunate reality. Can’t be here playing catchup to a market that moves at lightening speed. It’s a dangerous game that you’re bound to fail because iterations for the sake of innovation waits for no one.

“There has never been more monthly active crypto addresses. In September, 220 million addresses interacted with a blockchain at least once… The explosion of activity is primarily due to Solana, which accounted for about 100 million active users…” Bullish 📍

You always build with your audience and your market in mind. You never build for the sidelines. If you’re too afraid to offend a customer base or alienate them, you’ll never earn the respect of another or be able to properly validate your idea with conviction.

We can see in realtime the impact memecoins have had on NFT communities on Solana. My question is why don’t we see more rotation into NFT projects after we see large run ups on memes?

Saw a lot of people talking about regulation and web3. To be clear, the problem isn’t the concept of regulation, it’s the execution. The SEC, for example, is attempting to apply rules built for 20th-century markets to 21st-century technology. That’s like trying to regulate airplanes with traffic laws. Just because someone sucks at the job though doesn’t mean the job should be removed altogether.

Solana as an ecosystem is fueled by a relentless desire to prove to the world that it can’t be defeated. It’s like a Shonen manga come to life. After every major arc, there’s a moment of near doom, and then an amazing power up that comes because the hero simply decided they won’t be defeated. That’s what breakpoint just was essentially.

Phantom gets it. A lot of the frustrations with crypto is due to high friction, lack of consistency in experiences, and attrition. Simplify everything and improve the experience along the way. The win is there.

Solana at $150+ is a reality check. If you’re still stuck on Bitcoin as the only contender for the foundation of crypto adoption, you’re not paying attention. Time to update your playbook, or be sidelined when it hits ATH and you’re trying to cope with the fact you missed the play that everyone else saw.

We can’t get so distracted by the political conflicts that we lose sight of the fact that we’re entering an era in crypto where blockchain is now just as viable of a solution as AI and other forms of advanced technology to the mainstream. Bullish.

Magic Eden making $ME an SPL token is like a love letter to Solana. Sure there’s the obvious benefits Solana has over other chains, but this still feels like a way for Magic Eden to let the ecosystem know it hasn’t forgotten us. Coming full circle…

The Magic Eden presentation right now at Breakpoint is exciting because you can see how much thought and intention is going into the user experience. It’s not just about the ME token and rewarding users financially, but building more delight in the trading, minting, launching, and exchanging on their platform.

You can't escape how great blockchain is for community building: - better transparency - better rewards - better incentives for activity - better growth levers We're a few case studies before this becomes the new norm.

The dependency on Twitter feels like a massive Achilles heel for the industry. At its best, that’s a bottleneck for adoption and growth because Twitter is forming a very specific demographic profile which may not reflect the best audience for every project. At worst, it’s a single point of failure that would ruin the majority of the industry if it ever became either unusable, unstable, or see a noticeable exodus.
