>while ignoring me refuting 100% of your points
You didn't refute anything. The first three paragraphs of my last post were explaining to you that you were ranting about how Ethereum compares to Solana, and then I had to point out that the word "Ethereum" didn't appear in my post.
You can't get more clear evidence of a strawman than that.
In the 5% of your post that you managed to actually not strawman...

That's literally the "vague categories" that I'm talking about. It's true that you listed stuff. In that sense, they're not vague because you have a list of stuff.
But, it's vague in that there's zero specificity in answering what new devs, what new apps, what new users, how will usage sustain, etc. listing those categories actually means. They're just platitudal generalities.
In fact, you already have examples of all those categories live on Solana right now. Yet, you still need the fees to go up 300X-400X anyway.
So, our conversation is:
Me: You can't tell me how Solana will 300X its revenue.
You: We're going to do this list of stuff.
Me: But, you're already doing everything on that list right now.
You: Yeah, but now we're going to do it 300X more.
>Lmao dude you're saying I'm strawmanning then you're using cathie wood to represent solana while ignoring me refuting 100% of your points?? Impressive level of gymnastics
We're now hitting strawmanception. A strawman inside of accusing someone of a strawman.
I didn't say that "Cathie Woods represents Solana." I have no idea what it even means to "represent Solana."
What I actually said is that Solana doesn't need users, use cases, or revenue for SOL to pump, as long as you have people like Cathie Woods chirping out 83 IQ talking points on TV. Why do you constantly misrepresent what people are actually claiming?
"Solana’s SOL has reached new yearly highs, gaining more than 17% the day after ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood lauded the network for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness."

>It seems clear you're not interested in truth and are just gonna spin up bullshit, I'm not interested in that — if you wanna debate live where you'll be exposed instantly, I'm happy to partake
We are literally debating live right now. This conversation isn't pre-recorded.
I have no idea why you think a verbal conversation would be any different than the words you're reading from me. I would literally read these tweets out loud to you.
I have no idea what you mean "I'll be exposed", unless you mean that I'll be exposed to even more strawmanning than I have so far.
You're outright delusional, because you think you've "refuted all my arguments", yet, all you've really done is talk about Ethereum's shortcomings.
I own zero direct ETH, and I only have exposure through one of the crypto funds I'm in as a LP.
My actual, relevant points aren't complex:
1. Solana has low fee revenue.
2. It will be a long, long time before its fee revenue is high. It's unclear how long it will take before a sufficient critical mass of adoption will change that. Additionally, fans of Solana are wildly bullish on SOL, despite having a lack of specificity about the needed adoption.
If you have evidence that isn't the case, I am eager to read it. The founder of Solana agrees with my point.
3. Regardless of those shortcomings, SOL will perform well because it's a normie friendly thesis, such as demonstrated by the comments Cathie Woods made on CNBC, as one example of it.
You haven't refuted any of these points (and you don't want to refute the 3rd), yet, you think you've refuted all of them.
