The Solana outage we experienced yesterday was severe, and it's worth noting that SOL is still in beta. I don't want to make excuses, but I've been thinking about this all day, and I came up with an analogy that might help explain the situation.
Think of SOL as a restaurant that offers the best food, the best prices, the best decor, no lines, instant service, and the best user experience. It's the most popular restaurant in town, and as a result, it has a high number of daily users.
In fact, SOL has even more daily users than Ethereum, which is the largest blockchain network out there. Over the past 30 days, ETH has had 6.23 million unique users, while SOL has had 7.05 million.
If you think about it, the number of users is crucial to any business, whether it's a mall, a store, a restaurant, or even an airline. And the same goes for a blockchain network.
I'm excited about the next few years and hope that SOL can address its issues and move out of beta. But it's worth keeping in mind that even if you have an F1 racing car that is 10,000 times faster than the competition, there will still be crashes.
PS My MATIC to SOL Pair Trade is still up nearly 5% over the last 3 days which is astounding given the outage. SOL is brushing it off like usual.
