Solana community counterattacks Ethereum OG comment: Fanatical believers who talk nonsense

After Ethereum OG Ryan Berckmans published a review article about Solana, Mert Mumtaz, CEO of Solana ecosystem RPC and API service provider Helius, immediately left a message to counterattack, criticizing Ryan Berckmans for talking nonsense and referring to him as a "restless fanatic".

You wrote a 657 page nonsense just because you couldn't understand it? You have completely become Cardano, I hope you can improve yourselves, because this is really embarrassing.

The reason why Ethereum (ETH) is currently performing poorly is that its main supporters need to make themselves feel good by belittling other chains (not just Solana, but also by indiscriminately attacking Bitcoin and Cosmos).

1. The reason why you are optimistic about Ethereum is that Solana is not good?

It's like saying 'My girlfriend is super good because other girls in the world are ugly', but you're not really saying why your girlfriend is good, you're just writing a bunch of illogical things, venting your 'middle ground curve' emotions.

If ETH is so good, why is the entire article discussing SOL? Have you not let go of your 'ex' yet, or are you worried about something?

Solana seems to be able to transform into a backbone like Ethereum

What is' transformation '? This is completely fabricated by yourself. Backbone does not equal the "settlement layer of L2", it means "backbone". Do you think you have ownership of the English dictionary?

This is like saying, 'That's why ETH doesn't call its holders' manlets', and that's why it's bad.'.

No one cares whether they can become the settlement layer of L2. What we care about is increasing broadband and reducing latency. If done well, most financial transactions in the future will be executed on chain.

If anything is changing, it should be that ETH is now trying to become more Solana like, because every serious person realizes that it cannot break the physical limits and needs to expand on L1.

3. In the middle of this year, Solana acknowledged that L2 was the right approach

nonsense. Solana focuses on increasing bandwidth and reducing latency, expanding L1. We don't care about anything else. If L2 wants to build on top of Solana, of course it can, because it doesn't require a license, but the people at Solana core don't care.

Unlike Ethereum, Solana actually extends on L1 without losing all its value.

4. Solana lacks client diversity and will not make significant progress in the short term

It's made up again. Solana currently has Agave, Jito (Agave's MEV branch), and Frankendancer. In addition, Firefighter also operates in non voting mode, with Mythril and Sig expected to go live next year.

5. Solana cannot become a global backbone chain due to high bandwidth requirements

So the reason why Solana cannot become a backbone chain is because Solana has the strongest scalability? It is interesting that Vitalik himself stated in the "Endgame" article that you are wrong. He believes that block generation should be the responsibility of experts, while verification can be done by everyone.

Solana has a high risk of interruption in the future

That's correct, you finally said a fact!

Solana lacks economic decentralization

This is also fabricated, you are using the initial allocation data from 2020 instead of real data. Currently, there is no single verifier holding more than 4% on Solana. On the other hand, Ethereum, Coinbase, and centralized exchanges alone hold over 26%.

Solana is not decentralized enough to attract large capital

If capital cannot be attracted, why is the SOL/ETH ratio at a historical high?

Solana is far more decentralized than all L2 and has surpassed Ethereum multiple times in terms of revenue and value. Why not focus on improving instead of fabricating rumors? I do not doubt the important position of Ethereum in the future financial system, nor do I doubt that Solana will play a significant role in it.

Your mentality is like that of an anxious fanatic, rather than a builder who truly cares about the mission of encryption. Different systems have different trade-offs, and they will all exist for a long time.
