@jessepollak
the #1 thing that @solana has right now over @ethereum is people with money who are willing to deploy in a risk forward way at the edge and thereby push forward innovation. this is how innovation happens — but it's often messy in a way that can turn folks off (eg it's "just speculation"). but the lack of this means less capital bandwidth for ideas and experiments to both get funding and to break through into virality via price. memes and the innovation downstream of them are a prime example of this. if @ethereum wants to succeed, this needs to change — and we are seeing signs of it on @base, but it's still early and we need a lot more help. so let this be a call to action: if you are someone who believes in Ethereum, holds significant amounts of ETH, and wants the economy to grow, now is the time to step up.. if this is you, please DM or shoot me an email at

their vision to replace the Nasdaq (essentially) is pretty compelling too. that's where I think 'the games' begin because there is so much room for innovation + opportunity on Base in that realm

Imo nasdaq is no more than a narrative (and I don’t even like it vs global world computer aka internet tech platform). I look at opportunities at the time: - Some investors saw upside in sol & sol eco trade 23 - Some influencer-traders saw upside in eco trades outside flawed VC coins - Pump fun created venue for them + serial cabal grifters + traders + normie gamblers - the user numbers & volumes are now attractive for other builders, token launchers, ai memers it’s interesting - some people remain (somewhat) active in trenches despite finding riches & promote coins, flash screenshots (not much on base I think) - pump fun still got high vol - it’s mostly still focused on memes, not so much other stuff > eth got much more capital which could get more active again but is so far at best parked in airdrop farming, staking, restaking, eth defi > eth-base have both more use case builders, cutting-edge innovations/iterations > IF ceiling is lifted, bigger money can come in (not worth punting 500k coins)

ya well said, I agree, the builders are here on Base, etc. but Solana's ability to drive volume attracts traders, etc. and that is valuable for people looking to build companies. finding that middle ground is probably where the huge opportunity is!

Middle ground or solution for the right time. Sometimes low liquidity isn’t bad either but you gotta play it right. (See NFTs, most memes, new launches/ecosystems) You gotta add more levels or level up though to onboard new folks 🙂
