Just caught wind that Arthur Hayes (former BitMEX CEO) is predicting Ethereum will outperform Solana in the upcoming alt season. Given his track record with market predictions, this caught my attention.

For those who haven't been following, Hayes has been pretty vocal about the ETH vs SOL debate lately. His thesis seems to favor ETH's established ecosystem and institutional adoption over SOL's performance and growing user base.

My question to the community: Do you agree with Hayes that ETH will outshine SOL during alt season? Or do you think Solana has more upside potential at this point?
Personally, I'm torn. ETH has the security and developer advantage, but SOL's speed and lower fees have been attracting impressive user growth. The ETH/SOL rivalry is one of the most interesting narratives right now.

He's not wrong, you know. While Solana is full of hype, ETH has been quietly improving behind the scenes. It's still the second-largest crypto by market cap with the biggest TVL among "De-Fi" smart contracts. These metrics show ETH is a winner (despite naysayers' criticisms). Solana might be fast and cheap, but it's utterly-unreliable. ETH recently had some spot ETFs approved by the SEC, so it has a clear advantage over SOL.

I'm sure ETH will "pump" massively until it reaches a new ATH by the next altcoin season. Solana "hodlers" would be regretting themselves not having bought ETH earlier. Just you wait and see. Cheesy
