But different chains will play different roles, just like different operating systems, like Linux, Windows, OS X, whatever.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

EVM, the technology or framework or whatever, and then ETH, the asset.

Bonnie Blockchain

So it's perfectly possible to be bullish on one or more of those, but not all.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Right, right, right.

Bonnie Blockchain

Bonnie Blockchain

But I don't know.

Bonnie Blockchain

I think it's important not to conflate the different things and be hygienic in how we think about these concepts.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

That's Solana, right?

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

No.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

Is it?

Solana obviously is a global chain, but it has a really strong presence in the US.

Bonnie Blockchain
You Think You’re Following Smart Money. You’re Not |Alex Svanevik|EP55|Bonnie Blockchain

But so does Avalanche, for example.
