Putting important funds in SOL, which isn't even a crypto anyone has ever heard of, is already a mistake

Solana is the 5th largest blockchain by market cap in the world, has a ton of investors and ongoing development by a lot of talented developers. Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's not a legitimate project.

Judging by the amount of fraud in crypto, these developers may not be so talented

That's like saying every java developer since the beginning of time is not talented because they decided to pull in log4j.

I actually think that that level of enterprise over engineering really already needs some level of talent.

I honestly agree too having worked in enterprise, but see it more as an inevitability as an enterprise product continues to be supported for years and years, as the original talent is churned, and multiple generations of engineers come and go. It's why I don't want to go back into enterprise ever again lol supporting legacy huge overengineered products is rough.

How early are we:

HN user comments on a simple phishing website that happens to use a blockchain, as an indictment of all the unrelated wallet developers, all the unrelated protocol developers, and all the unrelated consensus developers just because they never heard of the 5th largest cryptocurrency on the market before.

Surely they would conflate the entire internet infrastructure for any non-blockchain based phishing attack? Stay tuned!

Legitimate or not, storing money needed to "feed your family" in a cryptocurrency is undisputably asinine.
