Ethereum Founder: 'I hope Solana gets a chance to thrive'



 Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin shows sympathy for competitor Solana (SOL) in a Dec. 30 tweet. He explained that "smart people" told him that Solana has a "passionate and smart developer community". He also opined opportunists involved with the project had been "flushed out".


Buterin also hopes the Solana community will get its "fair chance" to "thrive."



SOL price has fallen over 90 percent from its all-time high . In part, this is due to the coin's association with insolvent exchange FTX . Solana developers say FTX's collapse didn't harm the network itself.


Crypto-Twitter was impressed by Vitalik Buterin's praise for Solana. BlockTower Capital's Ari Paul said on Twitter that more crypto companies should follow Vitalik's lead. He explained: "This is how someone behaves who likes to compete and spread positivity. You can test people in a fun way (service providers, fund managers, developers, whoever). Just ask about the competition in a positive way. "


Not everyone buys Buterin's praise. Former poker pro Mike McDonald took the comment as a dishonest compliment.



Some people also criticized the timing of Buterin's tweet. He was indirectly asked if he would have also praised Solana if things were still going well on the network.



Solana was once considered the "Ethereum killer", especially because of its high scalability. The network has also been criticized for being too centralized and unstable .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

El Salvador: Bitcoin bonds are a long time coming

  El Salvador's finance minister believes Bitcoin's continued price volatility means Bitcoin bonds aren't coming anytime soon. Meanwhile, the country faces a human rights crisis. El Salvador Finance Minister Alejandro Zelaya said the country will further delay the launch of its expected billion-USD bitcoin bond, citing price volatility and uncertain market conditions resulting from the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. The news comes at a time when Amnesty International is accusing the Salvadoran authorities of flagrant human rights abuses and criminalizing those living in poverty. In an interview on local news show Frente a Frente, Zelaya was asked if the situation had changed with the planned bitcoin bond. “No, not yet, the [Bitcoin] price continues to be disrupted by the war in Ukraine,” He added that fluctuations are constant in the short term, but always appreciate in value over the long term. “There is a future and an economic innovation [in bitcoin] that we must bet on.” ...
