Solana is a VC-funded business, while Ethereum is more akin to a protocol, a la Bitcoin.
Solana is conventional finance with a "crypto" veneer. Ethereum was a good-faith, second step expanding upon Satoshi's vision.
Even though Solana has some good features, it is still not a trusted network and will never be number one. Now for Ethereum, as soon as it became POS, it quickly abandoned Satoshi's vision. Now, I say Ethereum will probably not hold its first-place position much longer. How can you trust a network that censors certain transactions?
