To further emphasize his point of view, he included a photo of Buterin with the message.
Meme coins have a lot of fans, and Gokal seemed to be defending them in his remark.
The co-founder of Solana, Raj Gokal, has lately spoken out strongly against the doubts many have about meme coins. While supporting meme currency initiatives, he also subtly attacked Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder. To further emphasize his point of view, he included a photo of Buterin with the message.
Despite the worries of traditionalists, Gokal stressed in an X post the significance of welcoming the many applications of permissionless systems. By writing, “Meme coins are scaring away serious builders,” Gokal summed up the community’s feelings about the proliferation of meme coins. Nevertheless, he quickly conveyed his idea by reminding Buterin specifically.
Gokul stated:
“May I remind you about the ‘serious builder’ who set all of this work in motion?” Furthermore, the accompanying fuzzy photo of Vitalik Buterin was a not-so-subtle reference to the co-founder of Ethereum.
Competent Builders
Meme coins have a lot of fans, and Gokal seemed to be defending them in his remark. Also, according to the Solana co-founder, it could be difficult to keep up with the rapid innovation in the crypto industry if one ignore’s such developments.
He further added:
“If you’re fragile enough to get spooked by how young people choose to use permissionless systems to have fun, you will quite simply not make it here.”
The post exemplifies the continuing animosity between Ethereum and Solana, two leading blockchain networks vying for supremacy. Buterin hasn’t addressed Gokal’s concerns just yet.
Following Gokal’s lead, President Lily Liu of the Solana Foundation has issued a statement recently backing the meme coin founders. Many meme coin founders are really competent builders, as Liu pointed out.
