Solana’s Big Brain Says Communities Are Useless—Crypto Meltdown Ensues

by

So Anatoly Yakovenko, the guy who’s supposed to know stuff, drops a bombshell: communities are pointless. Yep, you heard right. Useless. Like a screen door on a submarine. 🐟

He fires off this beauty while everyone’s talking about revamping Twitter or whatever. Instead of, I dunno, talking about actual crypto stuff, he decides to drop this gem. Because nothing screams leadership like a hot take on communities. Or maybe he just doesn’t like people. Who can say? 🤷‍♂️

Base and Solana Execs Throw Shade—Drama! 🎭

The whole thing kicks off when Yakovenko responds to some Twitter thread about fixing Twitter’s app. Simple question—“What would you delete?”—but nope, Toly’s busy throwing shade on communities like they’re last week’s leftovers.

If you had to remove 1 feature or part of the X app, what would it be?

His take? Communities? Useless. Like sock lint. And people went nuts. Developers, users, the whole crypto crowd. Some thought he meant Twitter’s “Communities” feature, others just assumed he’s basically saying, “Hey, crypto communities? Not needed.” Thanks, Captain Obvious. 🚢

Jesse Pollak, the guy from Coinbase, wasn’t having it. He’s like, “Communities are everything,” as if he’s just discovered oxygen. Because duh, Jesse, that’s kinda the point. Meme coins? Their entire existence rides on communities. You don’t say! 💥

Communities are everything.

Jesse even drops the mic saying, “Sure, meme coins need communities, but those communities need a little help. Maybe a group chat? A secret handshake?” 🎩

Meanwhile, some smart alecks are like, “Hey Toly, why do you hate the people keeping Solana alive? The meme miners? The gambling addicts? The guys who make your blockchain actually matter?” 🤔

“Why does Toly hate the only people propping up Solana’s price?” one user chimed.

“It’s crazy to bite the hand that built you.” Yep, that’s crypto logic for you—short term, risky, and totally unpredictable. 📉

Solana Meme Coins—Proof That Communities Matter! 💪

Turns out, the real power is in the meme community. 62.4% of SMTA (Solana Meme Token Analysis) holders? Diamond Hands. Like, they’re not selling even if their computer’s about to catch fire. That’s some serious conviction, or they’re just really bored. Either way, they’re in it for the long haul. 🚀

Long-term holders aren’t fazed by dips or meme coin chaos—they’re holding tight. Like a dog with a bone or a toddler with a cookie. So much for communities being “useless,” huh?

And hey, the meme community? They say, “BONK! We’re the biggest on Solana, and you doubted The Dog? 😂” So much for the “communities are pointless” narrative. They’re out here making noise—probably funded by sesame seeds, but still…

The BONK community is the biggest on Solana

And you doubted The Dog?

This whole thing is just dripping with irony—like putting ketchup on a steak. Everyone knows communities are the backbone, but Toly’s out here throwing stones. Meanwhile, people are buying SOL like it’s going out of style, dropping hundreds of millions in a week. Is he blind? Or just stubborn? Either way, it’s a circus. 🎪

Critics say dismissing communities kinda kills the vibe—no grassroots, no decentralization, no fun. Just a bunch of algorithms and bots, really. Community engagement isn’t just a buzzword; it’s the heartbeat of crypto. And Toly? Well, he’s played his hand. Good luck with that. 🍀
