Can ethereum people explain to me why they hate Solana? My understanding is that Solana is evidence that Ethereum made incorrect assumptions about how you can scale L1s, and now ethereum is changing course as a result. By this logic, doesn’t that mean that the competition that Solana represents has actually contributed more to the acceleration of ethereum innovation than anything else? I know that people love L2s, but are L2s actually carrying out the promises they made? Are they actually scaling ETH the asset? Are they actually providing users with a decentralized execution environment…the core logic of why ethereum preserves decentralization of the L1. There are tradeoffs that get made in each design. Either you become less decentralized on the L1, or less decentralized on the L2. If ethereum could go back and just focus on scaling the L1 instead of L2s, would Solana even be relevant today? Maybe, maybe not. The point I’m trying to make is that Solana is 3 things: 1. Proof that you can scale the L1 2. Evidence that users love the UX 3. Maybe the greatest driver of ethereum innovation Ethereum people hating Solana comes across no differently than out of touch Bitcoin maxis who hate Ethereum. Competition is good, just ship harder and win.
