Mechanism Capital co-founder: Going long on ETH/BTC, SOL/BTC, or SOL/ETH is a better trade in a bullish environment
ChainCatcher news, Mechanism Capital co-founder Andrew Kang stated on X that the crazy definition is that in a bullish environment, better trades are repeatedly trying to go long on ETH/BTC and SOL/BTC (or SOL/ETH).During the first 6 to 7 years after Ethereum's birth, despite many uncertainties, Ethereum was an attractive risk asset for many Bitcoin holders. Because of this, many Bitcoin holders were willing to convert their holdings to become holders of Ether. However, over time, Ether has gradually shifted from a risk asset to a safe-haven asset, and the investment ratio between Ethereum and Bitcoin has begun to stabilize, with fewer people willing to convert.Andrew Kang believes that recent innovations such as the booming Layer 2 networks and modular technologies have instead put heavy pressure on Ethereum in a market cycle of risk appetite.Andrew Kang stated that SOL not only does not face these same issues but has also crossed the chasm to become a blue-chip L1 that has withstood the test of multiple cycles. Its current high growth is sufficient for people to allocate scale to it. Conservative large investors who were previously only comfortable with Bitcoin and Ethereum are now starting to see Solana as a simple and safe new option. It is precisely at this stage where Solana transitions from an emerging asset to a major or foundational asset that presents an investment opportunity not to be missed. In 2023, the volatility of ETH/BTC has undergone a secular shift, and even in this situation, SOL/BTC will also be a superior trading product.
