<p>Solana co-founder expressed his support for the meme coin frenzy in a post on platform X.&nbsp;Raj Gokal <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cryptodaily.co.uk/news-in-crypto/thenewscrypto:solana-co-founder-takes-swipe-at-vitalik-buterin-defending-meme-coins#:~:text=The%20co%2Dfounder%20of%20Solana,Buterin%2C%20Ethereum's%20co%2Dfounder." target="_blank">refuted</a> common misconceptions about meme coins. Even as he backed meme currency projects, he quietly disparaged Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.</p>
<h2 id="solana-co-founder-supports-meme-coins">Solana Co-founder Supports Meme Coins</h2>
<p>Gokal emphasized in an X post the importance of embracing the numerous applications of permissionless systems, despite traditionalists’ concerns. Memes are frightening away serious builders, as Gokal wrote, encapsulating the sentiments of the community against their widespread use. Still, he swiftly made his point clear by reminding Buterin in particular.</p>
<p>Gokal’s remarks, meanwhile, seemed to support the fervor surrounding meme coins. The creator of Solana also hinted that people who ignore these tendencies would find it difficult to succeed in the rapidly evolving field of cryptocurrency innovation. He said, “You will just not make it here if you’re fragile enough to get spooked by how young people choose to use permissionless systems to have fun.”</p>
<h2 id="ethereum-vs-sonala-race-intensifies">Ethereum VS Sonala Race Intensifies</h2>
<p>The post serves as an example of the ongoing competition for supremacy in the decentralized finance (DeFi) field between Ethereum and Solana, two well-known blockchain networks. Buterin hasn’t answered Gokal yet, though, so there is still opportunity for more conversation on the subject.</p>
<h2 id="ethereum-switches-to-pos">Ethereum Switches to PoS</h2>
<p>The remarks from Solana’s co-founder come at a tie when previously, <a href="https://coingape.com/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-defends-switch-to-pos/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum protocol</a> provided some justifications for the network’s transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism amid increasing internal strife within the community. In particular, he responded directly to an X post made by American businesswoman Amanda Cassatt.</p>
<p>With an all-time high (ATH) of more than $73,000, Bitcoin is the most valuable cryptocurrency based on market capitalization. It uses the PoW consensus mechanism and has had notable performance over time. The core developers continue to maintain that this new mechanism has what it takes to deliver the blockchain its most optimum performance boost, even though the Ethereum community may not like the network’s PoS change.</p>
