We all know what drives the current crypto markets and they are still full of shady stuff but also full of people seeking fast profits. Real world usage is still minute and generally will not bring fast profits.
Im also well aware of all the shady and scammy practices of many "influencers" and how buying partnerships works in crypto world.
The market is still a big shit under the hood. There are chains and orgs that do care about doing everything right and unfortunately they can't compete with all the chains and people that play dirty and since they don't play dirty their tokens/assets lose price and then it's just a cascade of things that end badly with a empty eco and mad people.
Most people in this world are not rational and while I personally would love it if it was the opposite we still live in a world where any kind of profit will justify any shitty stuff that is done to get to it. Heck some of the biggest and most celebrated companies of today are build on scammy behaviour that would make SOL look like child play.
Now, is SOL technically in a good spot in the long run? I really don't think so. The tech is questionable and the tokenomics are horrible. How soon will that impact the overall sentiment? We can't be sure. Basically me repeating myself, it really doesn't matter atm. As long as majority of big players are making money it's completely irrelevant.
