So, I did the deed today - calculated my Starknet airdrop allocation using the official site (more on that process here, if you're curious). Let's just say... I was underwhelmed. In fact, I gotta admit, I've gotten way more bang for my buck staking TIA or just messing around on the Jupiter exchange on Solana. Plus, the fees over there? Basically a drop in the ocean compared to Ethereum's gas guzzling ways.
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm still a believer in the Ethereum potential. That ETF narrative is juicy, and I ain't giving up my ETH bags just yet. But as a small fry in this crypto ocean, I gotta keep my options open, right? So, I'm starting to think about setting sail for other ecosystems, like Cosmos or Solana, that might be more, well, small fish friendly.
Here's the thing: Ethereum's fees are getting crazier than a seagull on Red Bull, and frankly, it's starting to feel like the whales are having all the fun. While the big boys can HODL through thick and thin, us minnows gotta be extra mindful of where we splash our hard-earned cash.
This ain't financial advice, of course! Just some food for thought from a fellow shrimp looking for calmer waters (and maybe some bigger shrimp snacks!) Do your own research, explore those other reefs, and see what feels right for you. After all, the crypto sea is vast, and there's gotta be a treasure trove out there for every kind of fish, right?
So, what do you think? Are Ethereum's minnows getting squeezed? Are other ecosystems worth exploring for smaller investors? Let's chat in the comments!
P.S. This is all just my personal opinion, based on my own experiences. Please remember to DYOR (do your own research) before making any investment decisions!
