Solana goes completely against the idea that cryptocurrency must be decantralised. It's possibly the most centralised "mainstream" altcoin with a shady team that has historically lied about not only the fundamentals of the project like the circulating supply, but the shady members of the team have also been caught for fraud.
Much more advanced, more decantralised and Secure Level 2 competitors like MATIC exist, which have had infinitely better uptime, and security. Solana is not the cheapest, nor the fastest competitor either, so that's not in it's favour. There's few projects. Fewer with any reasonable legitimacy. It's just a hyper inflated L2 that has nothing holding it up other than hype and NFTs as fundamentals.
The only thing Solana has been consistent in, is underperforming, having outages, missing road map targets, getting hacked, and making false promises.
How many time does SOL have to be hacked, fucked, and stomped to actually die?

Solana is "still a thing" because whales are pouring money into it like crazy. This project used to be overhyped back in 2021, so it's very unlikely it'll disappear anytime soon. Average people may abandon the chain, but whales and other big players will remain on board. I wouldn't trust Solana with my money simply because the risks of loss are too high to bear. The network is highly centralized and it's flawed by design.
There are far better alternatives that put their focus on security/reliability on top of everything else. Both Cardano and Polygon (MATIC) are much more reliable than Solana itself, so I'd suggest you invest into these coins for the long haul. Crypto is widely unpredictable so anything could happen in the future. Just my opinion
