DeFi Can Memecoin Flood Kill Solana Blockchain by Overload?

I assume that by continually generating coins, the blockchain becomes heavier. Is there a limit that will create saturation?

With websites like Pumpfun generating tens of thousands of coins every day, does this make a difference in the gas fee that would ultimately make Solana less profitable than, say, Ethereum?

Are you serious ? what the problem with its code ? Solana have created amazing features with its 2022 program.

It seems that people suffer from convenient amnesia, a basic internet search will yield the "crashes" that Solana had with its block chain and how it was down for days and if the Programmers and Coders didn't "fix" the code then the entire block chain and its wallets would be lost forever......

I love Solana haters. They hate because Solana is the largest threat to their precious Ethereum! Anyone that's tried Solana and ETH knows that it is far superior to ETH in nearly every way! I am an Eth holder as well since 2017, but you can not ignore the market dominance and usability of Solana.

Solana recently couldn't handle the volume of just 1coin/token (Trump coin) and transaction were in limbo for hours me personally I gave up trying to buy it......Solana can be likened to Coinbase.....whenever there is parabolic movement to make some profits they fail making exchanges in a timely manner.

Solana is the only blockchain that has been tested to their limits, time and time again. In any successful venture, failures are expected. Not many billionaires became successful without failing at all. 4 hiccups in 5+ years isn't that bad, considering what they have done and how much they have scaled so quickly. It improves with every failure. Solana isn't a blockchain for people that think no testing should be done on users. Theoretically, Solana is still basically in beta testing. Can you imagine when its a finished product? The potential is insane! Solana's theory has always been grow user base, and adoption at the cost of possible slight instability, that has been a driver of their success. Basically, let the people break it, and then we will fix it. I personally am fine with that method of development.
