Solana is ahead by 10 years in the scaling game. But when it comes to rewarding users we suck: I received over 100K from Uniswap. 25K 1inch, StakeDAO 15K etc. even random pixel NFT platform gave 5K. Here, if you generate 2.5M USD Volume you get $40 metaplex coin, Or like 10$ of

Polygon vampire attacked ethereum users by falsely labelling as an L2 and piggy backing off most of its infra. Such a gigabrain move 🧠 Polygon is as much an L2 to Ethereum as Solana is. Actually - There is no such thing as Symbiotic Layer 2s in blockchain currently so…

This isn’t so impressive. I built the code for @ProtonMail ontop of @solana two years ago. PGP encrypted P2P diffie Hellman exchange with all data stored on chain. This is hype for a token? For an email? Why token? Kek.

We all left to build on @Solana because you ignored us for years when suggesting parallel VM upgrade rather than L2 Roadmap. 3 Years of speaking to core people and being ignored will push people to innovate outside of the space. All in all I thank you, because now I get to

they never cared about $SOL until it hit $100, meanwhile this is how every Solana Mfer looks after the last 330 days.

🤯 Solana Phones by @solanamobile received a $PENGU allocation - @pudgypenguins really targetted people who love @solana as you can see from the timeline. Well played 👏

With all do respect Frank - You don’t understand anything about consensus based distributed networks. Trying to disregard 40 years of compute advances exchanging it for “brand mentality” is really not it. You are trying to equate it to Apple, Android but both use Basic

People pretending like they KNOW for a FACT that ONE specific blockchain technology is "going to win". They don't. You don't. I don't. We're all guessing. It's most probable that BTC, ETH or DOGE will become a mainstream unit of account. All the rest of the blockchains will

The conflict of interest between members of the @SolanaFndn is getting out of hand. Directly using their position to benefit products from other places they work at. Disturbing to see the abuse via the @solana page. This is not how you create a network of builders.

$SOL right now is like $ETH when it was around 80$. Insane diehard socially dominant community that just keeps on shipping. I expect way more users to become familiar with solana wallets than metamask in next cycle 100%.

Ethereum killed you. You had much more life and optimism on Solana. And then I watched you join more and more ethfluencer spaces where they trickled poison in your ears. And all it took was the big crash to affirm that to you. Admit your mistakes, Free your holders. Come home.

Tens of thousands of people get cellular service via @helium on @solana - thousands of people are mapping the world with @Hivemapper - you can get a taxi with @teleportxyz - how about DeWiFI? @dawninternet - Rent PC games from anyone and play on their PC? @playonshaga - more >>

I’ll be voting against - 4.5M JUP for people who have never built a financial primitive in their life - Who’s highest deliverables will not bring back more than 4.5M$ to the DAO. This is what I call - egregious attempted robbery via salaries as usual in crypto.

Outside of @solBOOGLE without a doubt the next community with the most exclusive access to some of the most important people for all of crypto, not just #Solana is @theanonclub We did this naturally, no marketing, no bs - all grind and virtually zero expenses. 1/? 🧵
