very much agree with this @0xmert https://x.com/0xmert_/status/1833550855607619970?s=46

Founders must consider many facets of the tools & communities they build with

Tech is one critical component

Market reach, adoption, funding, & composability all must be considered

Imo all chains are helping grow the pie by exploring opportunities in our industry 🙌 This is positive sum not zero sum.

Disagree: I don't think choosing something because of its brand is bad. That's how most consumers choose anything.  Even devs, who like to think of themselves as rational, will choose infra because of brand.

@0xmert could be bellyaching that VHS beat Beta or BluRay beat HD-DVD.  It's not about technical superiority, it's about matching a technology to a use case.

If we're always early to new things we'll never see something through long enough for it to win

So you think that’s why people use base, and basically other chains?
