This take is everything I learned at Solana Breakpoint, Dear Bankless Nation.

I just returned from my fifth and last conference tour of 2024.

The pursuit of knowledge, relationships, and experiences takes me to some interesting

which is produced by the Solana Foundation, much like how DevConnectorDevCon is organized

It's hard for me to get a sense of reality these days as Elon continually changes the

Twitter algorithm, and the internet meta has shown the exploitability of Web2 platforms

to optimize for engagement.

As someone with deep ties to the Ethereum community, my only perceptions of Solana is

through Twitter, which is a terrible lens for viewing anything these days, and especially

in crypto, where tribes continually defy in the arena of crypto Twitter to distort perception

to their favor.

So my Ethereum circles view Solana from the outside, crypto Twitter can't provide a true

reality of Solana, so what is there left for me to do other than to go to Breakpoint

myself and get the vibe straight from the source.

Bankless Nation, here is everything I learned at Solana Breakpoint, but first a moment to

talk about some of these fantastic sponsors that make this show possible super fast.
