I used to prefer Solana over Ethereum, as the 'shiny new toy' concept paired with simplicity, speed, convenience and basically free TXs - seemed +EV for crypto as a whole.

I wouldn't say my stance shifted entirely, but I'm beginning to understand real adoption, improvement, institutionalization, use-case and quality fundamentally sound products are all being built on Ethereum.

Solana has turned from a fun new concept to a glorified casino - Las Vegas of crypto sphere. ~1% make money, ~99% end up broke, retarded and with an STD.

real products are on EVM and I don't think anything ever changes that.

this is not a hate post against Solana - its usage is very clearly defined, albeit constrained by perpetual diminishing quality of crypto 'products' and use-cases.

Solana opens the crypto world to your regular hypergambling retail user - Ethereum opens the crypto world to entities operating on a sophisticated level, allowing for institutional acceptance.

Ethereum is a gateway to REAL crypto adoption in the world - a digital real-estate; just like Bitcoin is a gateway towards the digital store of value.

putting Solana in the same basket, ever, is simply put, wrong.
