*it does not perform - only exists #SOL*

What can we say about Solana nowadays? To be honest - nothing. Since it doesn't work even during weekends.  
We all know all these coins, such as NEO, Tezos, XRP, eth classic, Dash, LTC, and others stuff - they haven't died yet - they still exist. All these coins have volume, you can trade them, etc., but nothing 'specific', they do not perform; projects - awful.  
Can we put #SOL in the same category as above? I believe so, it may grow, however, it will grow only with 'Crypto-Trading Hamster' and their thoughts about '#SOL' so low, it will grow up.  
\*Most used cases with #SOL are NFT Marketplaces. Since it's dead (NFT market, royalty problems; marketplaces have contract issues). FTX gone; TVL (zero?); node runners close their nodes (more network issue, though it doesn't work on weekends)  
Nevertheless, it has 'pros': - cheap; -fast;  
  
`Hope dies last?`  
  
I would suggest trying 'best of the best': Binance Smart Chain; layer 2 ethereum
