- Solana just flipped Ethereum in fees, proving that volume beats virtue. ETH still burns more tokens, but let’s be real: burning supply doesn’t pay your rent if you’re not staking. Solana’s validators are keeping the priority tips, leaving passive holders with nothing but hope and a meat wallet full of inflationary rewards. The data from DefiLlama is clear—user spending flows to builders and validators, not to you sitting on the sidelines. Stop treating "burned" as a price floor; it’s just digital confetti. If you aren’t running nodes or delegating wisely, you’re just funding someone else’s hash manifest. Aggressive passive income requires actual work, not moonboy delusions. Check your staking yields before you blame the market for ignoring your bag.
