Personally, I think Lightning is the worst thing that ever happened to BitCoin, but that's me.
Meanwhile, there's no reason to believe that a market that praises SOLANA and SHIB will ever turn its brains on and start to invest smarter. We should continue to put out value until the tide breaks, that's all that matters.
The worst thing ever happened to Bitcoin (BTC) is that it was the first and still the most popular cryptocurrency. Nowadays there are much better alternatives to it.
People like Shib and Dogecoin, because they like jokes, memes and funny, entertaining things in general. But I do not know why they like Solana. Nowadays Solana is around $44 USD, but the community at CoinMarketCap predicts that it will reach $250 USD by the end of the next month (August). So it is visible that many people are very crazy about it. But who knows why. It is very far from the best blockchain.
They all sit in Zurich, they all are friends who migrated there from California to launch the "Blockchain", it's as decentralized as the pissoirs in a public toilette
They literally stop and run the chain coordinated for maintenance!? Frontrunning ain't even a problem for them, because the whole chain is frontrunning all the time and no funds are safe.
It's a decentralized data system, but it's not what I understand of a Blockchain - way too close to a classic Cloud Database.
