Genuine question as per the title.
Firstly im not a Solona maxi. I will gladly move over to something else if it appears better (and im always looking).
Solona is just so far ahead of everything else right now and so undervalued. It looks like the only thing that could even get close to doing an Ethereum style run.
Really want to know what L1s do people go for over Solona as it makes no sense to me.
Solana has a very informative story about how market makers manipulate the price of a coin and sell the coin to hamsters at very high prices. A classic story that is described in the famous book by Edwin Lefebvre: "Memoirs of a Stock Operator". Ethereum looks more fundamental, but I have some Solana just in case.
