saying Solana is better than Polygon on almost every metric
I like this clip because he’s being straight up and honest. He’s talking to the poly community and trying to rally them.
But instead of blowing smoke he’s saying they need to build their way out
@RyanSAdams
No reasonable person is mad about that. We’re confused that people said decentralization is the top priority and that chains that lacked decentralization to the degree that Ethereum has (like Solana) were less than and not worth using or investing in.
Now the same ppl like

Why would you expect any protocol to be perfectly decentralized at inception?
Not even Bitcoin was as Satoshi had outsized control at the beginning

Send any amount of $mother to your mom (or any mother you know and love)
Time to honor our Mothers!
It’s super easy with
@TipLinkOfficial
and they don’t need an existing crypto wallet
This is also why the Sol community is so frustrated when the Polygon founders/team etc criticize Sol
They recognize it as bad faith attempts to discredit Solana’s tech to take its users
I don’t think Sol is any more toxic than Btc or Eth. It’s just tired of being attacked

As a staunch supporter of Iggy and holder of $mother love to see this tip of the hat from another up and coming community
Iggy legit is doing it the right way. Glad to see you guys support
Will be checking out Church of the SCF more closely knowing this is how you guys roll
@RyanSAdams
Love you David and huge Bankless fan, but the thesis that Solana is not a good “settlement layer” is not as strong as you think and only weakens over time as more people use the chain and the tech and confidence grows
Still bullish on Eth tho and comfy in my staked holdings
@IGGYAZALEA
From listening to about 5000 of Iggy’s voice messages, I can confirm this woman is a psycho in the best possible way
She is going to work you, out innovate you, out smart you, and laugh while she’s doing it

No “crypto influencers” or KOLs got allocations to $mother and that’s clearly why there was so much FUD right off the bat
It’s also one of my favorite parts of the project because none of those bozos can dump on us
Unfortunately they also convinced a lot of people and scared

But Solana already does payments under 1 second and under $0.01
It’s odd to see these campaigns with no mention of Solana
@digitalartchick
Most understand that Eth was more inflationary earlier in its life cycle as well. Solana reduced the inflation rate 15% per year until it stabilizes at 1.5%
Eth has a 5 year head start chill lol
No need to mislead if Eth is so good

In all fairness to

it only took him two attempts to be the pico bottom signal
Honestly it's hard work to be that misinformed

@TrustlessState
We just like how easy, cheap, and smooth it is to make blockchain transactions
I’ve watched countless hours of Bankless and watching you guys try to understand Solana and make a thesis

The numbers for $mother are wrong it only hit a ATH of 225 million and don’t think Iggy should be included in this group
Also percentage down from ATH is a lazy way to track. It necessarily someone’s fault market pumped it high as shit
For example $Jup is arguably the best

@RyanSAdams
No one hates ETH. Solana community was just tired of being mocked for 2 years by Eth maxis. This is partially the result
That said I don't support toxic bad faith attacks from either side
Best solution is to own both and get curious about both
