Why Decentralization Isn't as Important as You Think

If you've spent any time at all on crypto Twitter, you're familiar with the web3 narrative. It goes like this: in the beginning, the web was "truly decentralized."

The previous generation of shared protocols (TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, etc.) produced immeasurable amounts of value, but most of it got captured and re-aggregated on top at the applications layer, largely in the form of data (think Google, Facebook and so on).

Why we are bullish on Solana

Not investment advice. Solana is an ultrafast, low latency, high performance blockchain with smart contract functionality. Using an innovative approach to timekeeping called Proof of History, Solana can achieve subsecond global state finality and transaction throughput of over 50k tps without compromising decentralization or security.

Why I'm so Bullish on Avalanche AVAX.

The largest DEX currently deployed on Avalanche is Pangolin which has seen enormous growth since it's launch just a month ago with volumes in excess of $600 million and over $240 Million Liquidity.
