Vape-smoking, broccoli-haired influencers as Solana's KOLs, enabling the shitcoin casino meta, can be seen as yet another bad thing to happen to this space, yes.
After the ICOs and NFTs, similar trends like friendtech also extracted millions, partially from normie audiences on Ethereum, btw.
On permissionless ledgers, we'll keep running into speculative, crime-enabling trends because the "CT" culture of viral speculation and "hunting 1000x" rewards hype over substance.
At most, the influencers and meme traders themselves are to blame. While impatient, dumb money ultimately always loses, it's true that the public-facing community of Solana was literally people gambling with an insider edge—almost like the fake-money casino section back when gambling became mainstream on Twitch.
Many Solana users, like myself, never touched memes and don't feel represented by that type of community. But instead of objecting, we kinda rode along since the ecosystem profited from high volumes. In that sense, I get why people would blame the Solana community.
But on a permissionless market, demand always justifies speculation. As long as people chase easy money, there will always be influencers and platforms ready to feed that demand. Whether it's on Solana, Ethereum or even Bitcoin with ordinals.
The only real solution is education: If you got burned, learn from it and educate others around you to never jump on a train like that again expecting to make gains.
But none of that is Solana's fault. It doesn’t determine Solana’s success in bringing mainstream finance on-chain. The ecosystem, DX, and UX are awesome—both for DeFi power users and beginners. In ~9 years, I’ve never enjoyed crypto as much as with Solana.
Blaming SOL for the fraud & scams that occur there is a brain-dead take;
This always happens to permissionless chains that rise to a dominant position 🔥
In 2014, it was BTC scams & criminal markets. In 2017 ETH ICOs & in 2021 it was ETH NFTs!
SOL is the BTC & ETH of 2025: 🧵
Scammers & criminals will always seek out the cutting-edge, as it is on this frontier where they can extract the most, just like the Wild West of old
Does that make the frontier bad? Ofcourse not, in the same way, that BTC & ETH were not bad during their heydays
A truly decentralized, permissionless & public blockchain cannot block criminals, scams & fraud...
That is the trade-off we make for freedom, truly making it the home of the brave; if you cannot stomach that, go back to centralized products!
The early internet was much the same, with a much higher proportion of criminal activity, scams & fraud that we see today. Over time, with mainstream adoption, this was watered down & consumer protections were improved. Making the internet a much more respectable place today compared to when it was in its infancy
Most also do not realize that pornography drove a lot of the internet's growth, specifically the acceleration of innovation around capacity, speed & more:
I have never endorsed memecoins & I likely never will as a research-led fundamental value investor
However, the analogy to pornography & the early internet is uncanny, even if it is often distasteful. I am not in the business of denying reality; I am in the business of uncovering & discovering reality
A major difference to the internet is that crypto is not a single protocol, but thousands all competing over dominance & adoption. This free market dynamic is powerful & even though it drives a lot of evil in our world, the net effect is still positive. Free market competition drives innovation & exerts "evolutionary pressure". This, however, does mean we are cycling through dominant chains over time. First, it was BTC, then it was ETH & now it is SOL! I value freedom & am willing to accept a certain degree of chaos & danger in return
The truth is that SOL is now leading the cryptocurrency movement, whether we like it or not!
The high frequency of scams & fraud are only additional signs of this dominance, along with the undeniable usage metrics, where SOL is clearly leading
SOL's leadership has also been relatively responsible, as they have been putting their audience's attention & focus on real projects, for which there are plenty on SOL. As a matter of fact, the application revenue for SOL is now higher than all other chains combined! (5.8M in the last 24H!)
Again, I have never endorsed meme coins & never will. However, one of the reasons for PumpFun's success has exactly been because it is more fair than most of the alternatives out there. The platform itself guarantees that there is no pre-sale & no team allocation; this is why some of the biggest meme coin scams were not launched on PumpFun! We all need to inject a bit more nuance & detail into these conversations; nothing is ever clearly black or white, good or evil:
I also suspect that the recent meme coin mania was driven by the sorry state of our industry. a lot of people perceive meme coins as a less rigged game compared to the VC-infested waters of "mainstream" crypto. Where the majority of the supply is now often controlled by insiders...
We should bring ICOs back at scale now that the regulatory environment can support that again. Since at least that gave retail the same opportunity as the VCs participating at a ground level
Either way, blaming SOL for this recent mania is completely misguided; if anything, we should be thankful that somebody was able to pick the ball back up after ETH fumbled it. We should care about the adoption of decentralized blockchain infrastructure; I am not so petty as to oppose this adoption surge by totally opposing SOL
There is plenty to criticize SOL for, but supporting fraud, scams & fraud is not it. That is a tired argument that I have countered for over 12 years now, both in defense of BTC, ETH & now SOL in turn. Do not be like the sour BTC maxis of 2017, denying reality as their usage metrics are flipped by ETH. Constantly moving the goalposts of success until they became a pet rock
Realism & an adherence to empirical evidence inform our position, love or hate SOL. You cannot deny its prominence; this is why Trump launched on SOL; no other chain had the infrastructure to support that sort of scale overnight
Based on crypto's history, there is a good chance that there will be a different dominant blockchain, in a few years from now. That blockchain will also most likely host the majority of fraud, scams & criminality. This has always been the case & most likely always will
SOL is no angel, but it is also certainly not a devil ☯️
Being mad at Solana or Jupiter for Libra is like being mad at Ethereum or Uniswap for DeFi hacks or NFTs
Agree w/ Cobie that the market will now naturally correct expectations
The main error of Libra team is pulling the meteora pool and playing a very short term extraction, otherwise it is similar to Trump token. Whole thing is a wasted opportunity
DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng:
>> Studies machine vision at Zhejiang University
>> At 30 in 2015, launches High-Flyer quant hedge fund
>> Makes a fortune (now $8B AUM)
>> Wants to build “human” level AI as side hustle and pitches partners but they initially sceptical
>> Buys 10,000 H800 chips in 2021 and brings over his top hedge fund employees (all have tons of experience squeezing juice out of Nvidia GPUs for the fund)
>> Launched DeepSeek in 2023 and hires dozens of PhDs from top Chinese universities (Peking, Tsinghua and Beihang)
>> Pays top top top salary for tech talent only matched by Bytedance in China…wants DeepSeek to be leading “local” company
>> US export restrictions force DeepSeek team to get creative and they do, finding new training methods to make LLM models (V3, r1) competitive with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Grok, LLama etc at ~1/20th the cost
>> Training costs not exactly apples-to-apples but novel methods and clear improvements in efficiency (also questions around copying other models, larger H-100 clusters they maybe can’t talk about and/or CCP support)
>> Open sources and publishes methods (r1 reasoning paper has 200+ authors)
>> DeepSeek just hit top of App Store
