Kain Warwick, founder of Synthetix, and Kyle Samani, managing partner at Multicoin Capital, debate the merits of Ethereum, Solana, and Binance Smart Chain. In this episode, they discuss:
- why Ethereum is losing market share to Solana and BSC
- whether decentralization matters and at what point decentralization becomes redundant
- why they think Solana and Binance Smart Chain need to be taken seriously as competitors to EThereum
- whether BSC or Solana is the bigger long-term threat to Ethereum
- the biggest obstacle to Ethereum’s success (and it’s not gas fees)
- how Ethereum will navigate fragmented Layer 2 solutions
- Solana and its lack of developers
- what differentiates DeFi from CeFi
- why Solana has an edge on Ethereum in terms of composability
- how Ethereum will onboard new users
- why Kain is such an ardent backer of Ethereum
- why both Kyle and Kain think EIP 1559 and the potential for higher ETH prices is bad for Ethereum
- if Synthetix would ever consider launching a cross-chain product
- the viability of a multi-chain world
- why Kyle believes the future holds a winner-take-most blockchain ecosystem
