I think generally speaking the biggest obstacle for ETH right now is how much friction there is, both in terms of ease of use and liquidity

Until there is widespread one click bridging across chains I don’t think eth takes the next step. Preferably this is at the wallet level (i.e metamask/rainbow etc abstracts this)

Imo L2’s have been around long enough to where this should be expected

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)

don't take my casts seriously please (most of them at least)

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
