Years ago, an online answer to "Is Solana legit or a scam?" called it just hype and "a trap."
Then: doubted.
Since: 18-hour outage, FTX, "dead" a dozen times.
Still here. ๐ข

Then: 10,000 transactions from a terminal.
Later (2020): 1 BILLION.
Announced with a short post and a party emoji. ๐
Small beginnings. ๐ข
