TBH ive gone back and forth on the "SOL's culture is much better than ETH's" train but I think its just a symptom to the root cause that everything is so fractured. some things: 1.) basically every commonly used ETH contract is open sourced. this is definitely not the case on SOL. I have yet to find one commonly used thing that is. For an example, there are literal wrapper Pump.fun API's from people reverse engineering the website but no official API or contracts publicly (at least that I am aware of, if im wrong correct me). 2.) I think every chain does indeed have its own personality and/or culture. the biggest applications on Base (in my opinion, and there are exceptions) build for newer crypto users and for those who have yet to come to crypto. The biggest applications on Celo revolve around public goods funding the biggest applications on Solana build for speculation and/or games with a huge opportunity for gains. In my opinion this is what any trader is aiming for (optimally in the fewest steps)

imo in a perfect world interacting with crypto would look much like paying in other countries with USD your bank abstracts away the currency conversion for you and a fee is added, which i think is ok

As a normie this is true for me. Having to need L2s and bridging functions across them is a pain point until that’s abstracted away. I do think more interesting tech is being built right now and that eventually SOL runs into the same issue if it’s ever moving past the casino
