came across this absurdity recently

EY and Consensys think Solana is "centralized" and controlled by a single entity

very cool!

first, no one is trying to be an "ETH killer", these chains do fundamentally different things 

there would be X reason for Solana existing, if it just wanted to do the same thing as Ethereum...obviously

second, kindly mute yourself about "centralization" or "true builders" when X% of L2s are decentralized, 

(will just ignore incidents around client diversity, inactivity leaks, and numerous L2 outages — including a planned shutoff by optimism last week)

no worries though, I'm sure the leader of blockchain at EY is an expert on distributed system design, right?

surely couldnt be biased by being on the board of "Enterprise Ethereum Alliance"

also great work by Consensys (which is just Solana Labs, but Ethereum) having the IQ to actually think (and say out loud on Fortune!) that the entire chain is controlled by a single entity 

lmao how are these people real and leaders in this industry with such fundamental misunderstandings
