Maybe controversial, but a big reason Sol leans into memes and lags on utility is the rise of tight inner circles. Memes are easy: - No dev work - Quick coordination - Fast cycles for attention and exits Once that meta takes over, incentives break and it becomes recursive. That’s what participants chase, so that’s what gets built. Why spend months shipping when coordinated pumps outperform real products? Builders migrate, go quiet, or play the game and the chain keeps optimizing for low-effort speculation.
