Thats your perogative.
However, I disagree with you on a number of points.
James wasn't a shill for Solana. In his defence, he was attacked by investors who don't have the expertise and are to lazy to bother doing their own research
and blame him because he likes a project that outshines many others.
The facts were, it was a much faster blockchain than anything else around. Still is.
The biggest issue was the amount of outages even though it was in Beta during the 21 -22 season.
It still is in Beta until Firedancer is fully rolled out mid-2024. There has only been one small outage early this year.
Even Etherium has outages, but we never hear about them. Don't forget the bridging.
Also Sam Bankman Fried was the promoter of Solana at the time which increased the prices to extreme overbought levels.
That was a bad mistake and Solana paid for it.
Not until all the dirty washing came out most didn't know just how toxic FTX was along with Almeida Research.
The first domino to fall was Luna which contributed to the demise of FTX and Celcius.
I had a sizeable amount of Solana and Luna I bought in 2021. Thankfully, I only lost a 1/3rd of my investment in Solana when they tanked and got out of Luna
before its demise. James as with other youtubers had Alex Machinsky on his channel a couple of times. The last interview and
I remember it well. In that interview he challenged Alex because there were alot of rumours floating around that Celcius was insolvent.
Alex true to form lied through his teeth reassuring investors that everything was okay, even though they weren't.
The only thing that James did wrong was give him the benefit of the doubt.
Sure enough to form Alex dissappears leaving everyone including Simon Dixon to clean up the mess holding the bag.
I don't blame James for that.
If someone were to ask me why I still hold Solana now.
My answer is I believe in the project after doing my own research.
I never rely on any one particular source.
