If you’re a protocol with a legitimate use case and you’re not paying attention to what Solana is doing, you’re dropping the ball. I don’t know how many times I can say this. Go hire a Head of Culture. Go hire a Head of Memes. Get someone in there who actually understands how to bring a younger audience onto your platform and get people excited to be there. That excitement matters because it doesn’t just bring users. It brings devs too. People want to build where the energy is. Once you have people actually using the platform and builders wanting to build on it, now you have a real opportunity to showcase what the tech can do and why it matters. And when you have an audience that people want access to, institutions start paying attention too. The tech matters. But you need people there to use it, build on it and care about it.(David Gokhshtein)
