so since there are big opportunities in solana people don't really feel burdened learning the ins and outs of solana ecosystem.
quite different with aptos though, after the airdrop were held, people just forget about it, maybe because there's nothing hype going on in the blockchain.
It has always been about the hype. Why do you think Solana is still afloat despite being a constant victim of network outages? It's an overhyped chain. "Meme" tokens like WIF and BONK have taken the Solana blockchain by storm. If this keeps up, Solana will become a "garbage chain". A good thing Aptos isn't focused on the hype. Instead, it's focused on delivering true quality (usability) for the masses.
Projects like Aptos and Cardano are often overlooked because they don't provide constant rewards to holders. It's all about money these days. Launch several airdrops, and you'll see adoption increase for your project like crazy. Is that the true meaning of crypto/Blockchain tech? I hope not. As long as Aptos remains actively maintained by the community, there should be nothing to worry about. The time will come when APT will go all the way to the moon. Just you wait and see.
When do you think it will go up?
I dig your view on it - innovation should be at the helm of the projects, not the money that people crave the most these days.
Though, it's natural that it's like that, in my opinion.
