Well-known trader Bonk Guy posted that his stance on Solana and its related ecosystem is gradually shifting from pessimistic to bullish. Previously, he believed that Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain might outperform Solana in this cycle and had written a related analysis, but it has not been publicly released yet.The change in attitude mainly stems from Solana's recent renewed focus on the on-chain meme trading community, proactive communication from key individuals, and the official account and co-founder Toly beginning to publicly pay attention to ecosystem projects like STONK and USELESS. He believes this reflects that Solana is more actively supporting projects and communities that can drive ecosystem growth.He emphasized that his doubts have never been about Solana's technology and infrastructure, but rather about the ecosystem culture and the influence of certain profit-seekers on users. Given the recent changes, he has submitted his original bearish analysis to the Solana team and stated that if it is made public later, he will provide more insights and background on Solana's stance.
