5 years ago today, the Solana SOL project launched… My journey with Solana is ROCKY to say the least: I’ve had a crazy love / hate journey with Solana. There was a point in time (2021/2022) where you could find me hating HARD on Solana at any given opportunity. Looking back this was one of the most moronic crypto decisions i’ve ever made. If I had chose to listen and actually dive deep into the ecosystem instead of hating based on little to no research and experience, I would’ve easily had millions of dollars from SOL. I am extremely grateful that my crypto investing/trading philosophy and mindset has EVOLVED. There is now no token on earth that I will hate on. It’s absolutely pointless, and you’re simply being emotional & locking yourself out of opportunities. Fast forward to 2024/2025 and I absolutely love 95% of Solana. I had tons of fun in the NFT season, trading memecoins, and even now building an awesome company with my amazing wife @megbzk in the Solana ecosystem. We will continue to grow the Solana arm of @Sanji alongside the ecosystem (specifically memecoins right now). LESSONS I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY SOL: - Do not hate on crypto projects, before researching & trying them yourself. - 99.9% of the time, when hating on a crypto project, you will look back on it and be shocked at how stupid you were being. - U.I + beginner friendliness is king, Solana nailed this, and that’s why they’re killing it. - Memecoins are awesome and a fun casino to gamble your funds on
