Solana's design philosophy caters primarily to active traders and market participants. The blockchain's emphasis on speed, low transaction costs, and high throughput creates an environment where frequent trading becomes economical and practical. This makes it an attractive ecosystem for those focused on trading strategies rather than long-term holding or dApp development. The fast confirmation times and minimal fees essentially reward trading activity while making it a less ideal fit for users seeking traditional store-of-value solutions.

In simple terms, it's a short-term paradise and a nightmare for long-term holders. The daily average fee savings I get on SOL aren't even enough to cover my losses from buying the dip at a high price...

SOL is specifically designed for those trying to scalp profits quickly; its fast speed and low fees are indeed satisfying. But holding the coin long-term? Don't even think about it.

Solana is designed for arbitrage, with low fees and high speed that directly encourage frequent trading. Long-term HODLers are indeed not suitable; this is a paradise for our short-term traders.

This design of SOL is just to serve the arbitrageurs. Quick in and out is satisfying, but for those holding long-term positions, you'll need to find another place.

Well, SOL is indeed designed for quant traders to exploit arbitrage opportunities.
