I heard we’re publishing hard truths in $PUBLIC, so I wrote some words about the differences (as I see them) between the type of speculation you tend to see on solana vs @base. Agree or disagree? cc @yuri https://x.com/bigvibessss/status/1899638424329417029?s=46

I've never met or came across a builder or creator on SOL that was working to provide long term tangible utility ( while also being trustworthy). Sure, that could be due to my lack of exposure to the industry as a whole. But more times than not, the builders on base care more about the tech and innovation than they do the money. That said, im sure there is a trustworthy SOL builder that exists, maybe. But at this point the taste in my mouth is so bad id rather not risk finding out. Stay @based 💙

disagree, feels like you are selectively comparing the bad stuff you see on solana with the good stuff you see on base - the same grok event had plenty of people on base also launching silly beta coins, tagging a bunch of different AIs in an extractive attempt to create some narrative, etc. - base also has its own history of extractive coins. e.g. $VVV had insider trading from the team of the literal top DEX on base. many of us got rugged on $ticker right here on FC. the first big meme on base, $BALD, was a rug. base's biggest meme, $BRETT, is a very weird cabal supply control situation. - solana also has plenty of actual real builder coins that are launched on pumpfun, as well as actual creative teams behind the memes there (what we would also call "builders" on base) generally i think "base vs solana" discourse is pretty tired and it feels like it reinforces the already pretty problematic tribalism in the crypto social layer
