"Yakovenko said roughly 4% of teams building projects on Solana now were acutely affected by FTX's collapse. Some platforms had funds custodied on the crypto exchange. About 80% of teams on Solana's blockchain had no exposure at all to FTX, Yakovenko said, referring to survey data, adding that he was connecting severely impacted founders with investors who could potentially provide emergency capital. "There's definitely more to Solana than FTX," Yakovenko said. Still, the network's longstanding ties to FTX and Alameda Research, the crypto trading firm co-founded by Bankman-Fried, may make it hard for some to move past the association."

"Some smart people tell me there is an earnest smart developer community in Solana, and now that the awful opportunistic money people have been washed out, the chain has a bright future.
Hard for me to tell from outside, but I hope the community gets its fair chance to thrive"
Why did Vitalik now remember Solana?

SOL as associated with FTX may likely lose its position on top. Its under a dim light because of the FTX scam. SOL is not even on the most searched cryptocurrency based on google. The list will surprise many of us of course but the popularity of Doge and Shib surpasses the tokens we thought are going to dominate.

this data was likely taken when it was still in the hype of memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu but looking back at it earlier this year it's likely that everything was about to change.
I'm totally not on Solana's side, but it's with the recent story that Solana is hype with the shitcoin standing on top of the Solana network that keeps Solana trending for now.
maybe some of the members here know about the shitcoin hype news that exists on this Solana and also right now the price of Solana is going up, I'm not speculating if it's caused by the shitcoin but Solana can go up in price because bitcoin dominates the current price and bitcoin in recent days pump price.

Solana has taken some real FUD but it just does not seem to want to die. I have high hopes for Solana in the next bull run. The network has been down a few times but it doesn’t seem to deter investors, people still love the community & want to be a part of it.

I see Solana being capable of hitting $300 or more during the next big bull phase. I will definitely be filling my bags in anticipation.

I don't believe much in this coin but I hope your prediction come right.If it really comes we all will be happy as it means that the price of Bitcoin should be over 85.000 to over 100.000 as if I remember correctly Solana all time high was about 260 dollars at Bitcoin near 70.000 so this is an optimistic wish you are wishing for.

Personally I am believing a lot more in the Raptoreum system,easy to mine and with extremely talented developers as they have promised soon 2-3 programming language like Java and Python there to build apps on top of it,once they do that it will skyrocket for sure.
