In the long run, the blockchain has proven to be a trustless technology that can work in the real world without a central authority. It has been tested and is getting stronger every day. No doubt it will all end on a decentralized network. Solana by design was not to be centralized. So if the government dumped big bucks they would have still survived and There is no one word to describe the crash today. In my opinion, The project is dependent on all parties involved. I hope this will be the paradigm for all crypto projects in the future.
I think you missed the point, they wouldn't survived if the whale with that huge $100 m loan will simply crash the market fo Solana. So there's no doubt about it, SOL will be liquidated and then it's price will go down very hard.
