Kevin Ricoy 🌎(@therealricoy):Solana wins because it is built around a culture of hyper-capitalism and meritocracy. Even if you are respected in some kind of inner clique or an OG loyalist, there are no entitlements or handouts, and even if you are an outspoken critic the door is still open the day you come up with a good idea and want to roll your sleeves up. Feelings don’t matter, best ideas and execution win. All that matters is what’s best for Solana. This is why eg Ansem can openly short Solana one day and still be welcomed back when the tides turn. No one expects blind loyalty, only pragmatism. The critics are just as much a part of the fold as anyone else, and the champions are not treated as holy cows.
