Threadguy explains how his Solana thesis collapsed from hub of experimentation to trickle-down liquidity "Solana is at a structural disadvantage because they don't have an exchange. They've taken the stance that because they don't have one it's the most organic, which is fine, but what you learn in markets... is there's no loyalty to a trading venue, to an exchange, to a blockchain. There never has been. You should trade wherever you can make the most money possible, because the market is trying to take the most from you." "I had this conversation with Malcolm yesterday and I was defending Solana, saying there's no reason these assets couldn't deploy on Solana, and he's like yeah, the reason is that they're not deployed on Solana. And I'm like, you know what, he's right. Why would they leave Robinhood? They have the whole stack, you get verified on one of the social trading apps, you get a a Vlad soft shill, you get a Robinhood spot listing, and then you get mania. My thesis for Solana went from the hub of on-chain experimentation to maybe if everything goes up a lot they'll get some trickle-down liquidity. And that happened so fast it's scary."show more

Offchain Labs CEO Steven Goldfeder on why Robinhood chose Arbitrum over Solana "Yeah, and by the way, that exactly is the point. You're in two buckets: you're Ethereum layer one, you're your own layer one, you're Ethereum layer two. If they would have put their products on Solana, think about it. Robinhood is attracting millions of dollars in daily transaction volume today. Where would those dollars have gone had they built on Solana? They would have gone to Solana validators." "I think Vlad said it the best he said, 'I want to be a landlord, not a tenant.' Today, they're driving Robinhood Chain, they're driving Robinhood Wallet. That wouldn't happen if they launched on Ethereum layer one. It wouldn't happen if they launched on Solana. They'd basically be contributing to the success of Solana validators, contributing to the success of the popular Solana wallets like Phantom." "But today they're actually able to own the ecosystem and be the landlord here. They're generating not only the revenue from their direct products, but also from all the others that want to be co-located with Robinhood." "There's a strip mall and you have a very popular store that a lot of people are coming to. everyone in the strip mall benefits from that. But if you don't own the strip mall, you don't really benefit from that at all."

Threadguy explains why Solana is uninteresting to him here "I don't get the SOL narrative from here. It looks good, but like why? What would take Solana back to an all time high? You would need euphoria bigger than TRUMP coin. You would need apps that are actually doing something interesting and making a fuck ton of money." "We know what the top of meme coins is. Top of meme coins is $297 per Solana token. That's the top of meme coins. So you need something bigger than that to theoretically send Solana higher. I don't necessarily know that you get it or what it would take to get it. So I remain uninterested in Solana."

Mert on why you build on Solana, live at Solana Summit Serbia: "You really don't have another choice today. There is no chain that can do more scale, that has incubated more startups disproportionately given the market cap, that has all the liquidity concentrated in one venue." "Core devs are already bringing block times down to 300 milliseconds, which was 400 a few weeks ago. More activity onchain means more financial activity, more users, more startups, more funding. It's the flywheel of creating the Silicon Valley." "Why Solana? It's by far the best in scalability, performance, and startup ethos. Failing is accepted here because you can just get up and try again." "And we have some pretty good memes." mert Superteam Balkan Solana Summit

.Solana Foundation President, Lily Liu explains why Solana is built for unified liquidity "The most important thing in finance is liquidity. No one is ever bigger than the market. The market will always win, liquidity will always win, and people will ultimately trade off every last thing in order to be part of the largest market. The idea that you could potentially create a marketplace available to 5.5 billion people, the population of people on the internet. There's no pool of liquidity which is ever going to be larger than that. That reinforces why the architecture of Solana from the beginning has been the preferred one. It prioritizes the number one thing about financial markets: unified liquidity."

Threadguy explains why if you've never used Hyperliquid it's easy to be bearish on it and compares it to the Solana mistake from last cycle "If you never used Solana in 2024 you could have easily convinced yourself to be bullish on some other performance chain. Avax, whatever, they all did terrible. Solana mogged all of them. From the same lens, if you've never used Hyperliquid, it would be very easy to convince yourself that Coinbase or Robinhood is just gonna eat their lunch or that the product isn't that good or it's niche. It's very easy to make the same mistake if you've never used it as you could have made if you never used Solana in '24." "After using Hyperliquid every day for a year, I open up a brokerage account and try to trade on Robinhood and I'm like what the fuck is this? This is terrible. It's a product game. Robinhood won retail options because the product was so good, so smooth, so easy to use. I get on Hyperliquid for a month and Robinhood feels like garbage compared to it." "Think about how much money exists offshore that can't trade US equities that can now trade US equities on Hyperliquid. The only way you look at this price action and say all crypto sucks, this is a fake pump, is if you've never used the product."

Alpenglow is coming, which is going to put it on par with a centralized exchange experience in terms of block times, latency and finalization" "Something in recent days, $700 million of RWA have come to Solana - more than have come to all other chains put together. Liquidity begets liquidity, and as more of those assets come onto Solana, the easier it is for the entire network to continue to scale" "It's coming partially from other chains, but it's also net new money that's coming in. Something like 98% of all tokenized equities trading on chain is happening on Solana"

.Laura Shin revisits the rumor that Robinhood nearly built on Solana. "There were rumors that Robinhood Chain almost went with Solana and switched to Arbitrum at the last minute." Tarun Chitra: "Both the Arbitrum and Solana foundations were tweeting a lot. You could tell there was a kind of bake-off going on." Laura Shin: "I had A.J. on the show and asked how Arbitrum got this deal. He didn't confirm that Robinhood was about to go with Solana." "But he basically said that when you're your own L2, it flips the economics. You're not paying, you're making money." "That seems like a pretty obvious choice if they were considering starting on Solana." "It's so interesting that we're having this conversation, because what if things had actually gone the other way?" "Then Solana might be in a really good place. It's an interesting counterfactual to ponder."

Bam Adebayo GOES IN on the critics that says his 83 point game performance is unethical: "For the couch coaches, I mean, if you're in my shoes and you have, first of all, y'all are blaming me. You should be blaming the head coach. Get that first. I was not the one letting me go one-on-one the whole game until I had 70, and then you started to send a double. At that point, I got 70 with, like, what? nine minutes left to go in the game you think i'm not going for it like like and that's the thing that's crazy when they talk about the unethical part of the basketball i'm like if i have 70 points with 9 minutes to go Who would just be like, you know, coach, just take me out. Yeah, right. Anybody in my shoes with nine minutes left? Okay. A minute? All right. Nine? Yeah, I'm going for it. You can't be mad at that. If you are mad, I don't care because a lot of people, they're upset because if they did play, they never had a chance to get that close to chasing greatness. And then if you get that close to chasing greatness, that's the point of chasing it so you can surpass it. And some of the people have never played basketball. So like if you've been in the backyard and you and a couple of your homies have been playing 21 and you got 19. You're not going to get an easy look off. And four, they're going to talk about the free throws. It's not like I shoot 15 free throws a game. It's not like I average 10 free throws a game. You can watch the film. I was legitimately getting fouled every time. So I went to the free throw line."

CEO of phygitals explains why they chose to build on Solana "I think one thing Solana does really well and they're hard to beat at is both foundation and ecosystem support from builders and founders. They have the Superteam initiative, which is a great initiative where you can get tons of resources and learnings and free resources to build. And then the general community and collector community within Solana is very vibrant. Our whole go to market was pretty much utilizing ungraded/cheap Pokémon cards that we acquired while we didn't have much funding or profits. We gave these out to top Solana NFT communities and through the liveliness in the ecosystem, Phygitals was created. The initial user base was all Solana NFT collectors or traders and in that sense they have such a large user base, which makes it incredibly easy to build on."

"There's no favoritism in Solana. It's the clearest form of a meritocracy that could exist. You can find capital, you can find talent, and you can find community to break out of your local maxima and enter the global maxima."

David Friedberg explains that owning a home is worse than investing in stocks Calls it the "Great lie" FRIEDBERG: "This is one of the great lies. Convincing everyone that the great American dream is to own a house. When owning a house for a lot of Americans ends up putting all your capital in one asset, and you've got to basically get the price of housing to go up every year to keep everyone moving up the ladder." "So now, fast forward 30, 40, 50 years, young people can't afford to buy a house anymore because we've pushed the asset value up so much to try and make sure that everyone's got good household wealth." BARTLETT: "We are told. I mean, that's the sort of central idea once you leave university—is to figure out how quickly you can get a mortgage or buy a house." FRIEDBERG: "Great lie. It's one of the great lies. And there's a lot of countries where people have been able to accumulate capital and jump that ravine from labor to capital much more quickly when they don't buy a house because they can invest in stuff. They can buy, you know, the S&P 500, which you can just buy on an E-Trade or Robinhood account, and you can just own it; on average, it will make you 10-11% a year. You just put your money in that, you're making 10-11% a year, and it can go up every year, and you don't have to pay taxes. You don't have to pay property tax. You don't have to pay insurance. You don't have to deal with repairs and maintenance. All that sort of stuff. So, a lot of people would have been better off, depending on the markets that they're in. There's some markets that ballooned, but a lot of people would have been better off over the last 30 years actually owning the S&P 500 than owning their home and paying for the rent on a home."

It's one of the great lies. And there's a lot of countries where people have been able to accumulate capital and jump that ravine from labor to capital much more quickly when they don't buy a house because they can invest in stuff. They can buy, you know, the S&P 500, which you can just buy on an E-Trade or Robinhood account, and you can just own it; on average, it will make you 10-11% a year. You just put your money in that, you're making 10-11% a year, and it can go up every year, and you don't have to pay taxes. You don't have to pay property tax. You don't have to pay insurance. You don't have to deal with repairs and maintenance. All that sort of stuff. So, a lot of people would have been better off, depending on the markets that they're in. There's some markets that ballooned, but a lot of people would have been better off over the last 30 years actually owning the S&P 500 than owning their home and paying for the rent on a home."
