But what is the point of these contracts? Why automate? Why is it better to have our relationships regulated and controlled by algorithms rather than humans? These are the…

A widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader is leaning bullish on a large-cap Ethereum (ETH) competitor. The analyst pseudonymously known as Sherpa tells his 239,200 followers on the social media platform X that Solana (SOL) has more upside potential, even as the Ethereum challenger sits around 30% below the all-time high of about $263 reached in November of 2024. “SOL pretty neutral chart overall in the short term but I still think SOL is going to go much higher later.
