I take back this statement. Solana is complete garbage. Not only from a moral/ethical standing point (with all the red flags that I already knew), but also from a user perspective. I'm trying to make a payment with, so far, FOUR failed attempts. F It doesn't work. It's broken.

Unpopular opinion. #Algokit will do more for #Algorand than any marketing. Better dev experience will lead to more devs, more devs will lead to more dapps, more #dapps increases the likelihood of a โ€œkiller dappโ€. Thatโ€™s exactly what $ALGO needs and I canโ€™t wait.
