I think there is complacency on Solana in some aspects

- Denial of memecoins and their impact, while they have been the major driver of PA and adoption in the last 4 years.
- Content Creators/Pages share metrics such as active addresses and transaction count like if we were still trying to convince people in '22. It's time to focus on a new set of goals.
- DeFi is still very small compared with Ethereum, there's a lot of work to be done. Thankfully, we have some incredible teams pushing for it every single day.
On the other hand, there are a lot of things that Solana doesn't get enough credit for.
- A huge number of dApp developers
- Ecosystem with the most innovation and competition happening
- Effort to onboard institutions
- RWA growth
- Focus on AI & Payments
- Extremely active Foundation
- Community discussion usually yields results/changes
...and yes, perps are not comparable to Hyperliquid today, but if there's something CT has been good at is ignoring the potential of something working out. They literally did so with HL for years.
Look at how most of people you know discounted SOL post-FTX. How many of them did so from borrowed hate?
If you want to make Solana better, stop saying "Solana is the best on XYZ" with nothing to back it up and start sharing honest feedback with the teams building products.
You will also be surprised how many doors that can open in the future.
