And the reason is because it's very easy to bet on vices and things that are basically kind of like what I call short humanity.

And I don't mean...

like Bitcoin is genuinely a short humanity.

But what I mean is Bitcoin is like a world-ending hedge, right?

So it's a little bit of like a hedge against that as a vice.

And Solana for a long time, I think, was the kind of meme coin proxy, right?

So it was like a gambling proxy for crypto to bet on that humans love to gamble.

Humans love to predict.

Humans love to kind of do these things that Solana has captured the mindshare for because it's built literally to optimize for that with as low latency as possible.

So it found product market fit.

And so from that barbell approach, Bitcoin is, you know, never going to change because it's Bitcoin.

Great.

Solana, very quick to change, very fast accelerating, like tons of technologists and futurists working on new paradigms of tokenization and all the ways like crypto rails are gonna start affecting our infrastructure.

And so it's really like a sandbox for like pure max tech.

Ethereum is like literally neither here nor there, right?

It's kind of not Bitcoin and it's not that fast.

And the one virtue it seems to consistently signal, sometimes to my annoyance, is this concept of like decentralization.

When in reality, we all know

We just talked about kids using AI to do whatever they want in the future.

They don't care about decentralization at the core if you're going to sacrifice productivity gains from it.
