Solana

Are there any ideologically driven people involved in Solana? My impression is it’s pure mercenary: decentralization and open source are not taken seriously.

product @seedclub. i host S-TIER @ X Spaces & i interview crypto builders @ web3galaxybrain.com.

Interested to know what gives you this impression?

designer & cofounder @ airfoil.studio, the design team behind 150+ dApps, blockchains, and more / building sgbuidl.com 📍singapore mostly, sf sometimes

everyone i’ve ever encountered talking about Solana (except maybe toly?) has spoken like a mercenary

What is the ideology people are in Solana for? The sense I get is: “Ethereum but better entry price and more willing to compromise on decentralization for cheaper txs”

My experience has been quite different, though I'd say the IRL community feels very different than crypto twitter.
