Nick Tomaino(@NTmoney):The main problem with Base right now is the perception that’s it’s for insiders. The core team has boosted projects from people they know instead of projects that have organic traction and good vibes like DEGEN The truth is most of the competing chains are truly insider pump and dumps, they just have done a better job managing perception to look more grassroots If you look at pure app innovation, Base still winning and there’s a major upside case with future breakout apps and an airdrop but anyone in the trenches who’s frustrated rn completely justified to go over to Robinhood chain or elsewhere until something changes and it feels like anyone can win big on Base
