If someone were to redesign Solana's founding narrative, one thing worth reconsidering would be the relationship between chain leadership and the memecoins driving everyday activity. The reality is that memecoins have become a core part of Solana's user acquisition and network activity—they keep liquidity flowing and new participants entering the ecosystem. Yet there's often a dismissive tone from key figures toward these assets. A more pragmatic approach might embrace this organic adoption rather than publicly undermine it. At the same time, the aggressive promotion of certain privacy-focused solutions deserves scrutiny—not all technical features require the same evangelism. Sometimes acknowledging what's actually working on your chain beats chasing narrative trends.
