Solana is highly sought after by institutions due to its ability to process hundreds of thousands of transactions a second. The word on the street is that it may become the block chain for the stock market prices in the future. Massive massive interest I expect it to become the number three coin behind Bitcoin and ethereum and possibly number two if they do in fact become the blockchain of stocks in a couple years time. Solana is huge and there’s plenty more upside to go. Wait for a pull back because it’s overbought right now and then make sure u jump in. NFA
I do not think that just because it can be fast and cheap doesn't mean that people would put this much emphasis on it. Look at Nano for example, as far as I know they are the fastest and cheapest ever existed, they can make a transaction pass under 1 second, and they are free, which should mean that if it was all about that then they would be super high.
Solana has a lot more stuff, they have validators, they have staking, they have power of governance, they basically offer so much more than just simply offering regular cheap transactions. If nothing else, look at tron, they even have ecosystem where projects could be done on their blockchain but it is not done like that because projects do not prefer to be on tron and if you make it on tron then you are going to flop for sure. So, there are more things about Solana that makes it more interesting.
