On September 19, BlockBeats reported that Kyle Samani, co-founder and managing partner of Multicoin Capital, attended the roundtable discussion on the theme of "Why SOL Will Flip ETH" on the first day of the TOKEN2049 main venue. He said:
DeFi is the most important thing on blockchain today. You see DeFi on Ethereum, you see DeFi on Solana, you see DeFi on Aptos, wherever you look. And the Ethereum people will tell you that DeFi doesn't matter. Well, if Ethereum isn't going to optimize for DeFi, that's fine. Can you tell us what Ethereum is going to optimize for. DeFi has never been able to do this because they don't know it themselves.
