Did you check Solana price in 2021? It was way above $80, it was some where around $200 if I am correct. The reason why it is pumping is because of two projects under it's ecosystem. It will pump more as it is coming up with more projects within its ecosystem in the future. Take a look at Avalanche before anyone comes to a conclusion about Solana. It is pumping in the same manner if I am rightfully to say it.
The system is not easy and smoothly running as everyone could possibly think because there's golden opportunities to take for the purpose to explore in the market. This pumping of solana is merely a trick to entrapped most investors into thinking about the project. For me, I'm not investing, probably not now because I've this feeling about the project pumping when the bull season finally arrives. This is just the scratch of the bull surface compare to what will be happening when it finally comes. This is just a message signal that we should listen to, I'm not backing down other than formulating my tactics in the market.
