Scaramucci Predicts Solana to the Moon! 🚀

by

The bejeweled collar of civilization, in the form of a tie, graced the proceedings at the Solana Breakpoint jamboree in Abu Dhabi, worn by none other than Mr. Anthony Scaramucci. Quite the sartorial rebellion in a sea of distinctly casual attire, you understand. Then, like a bolt from the blue, came the pronouncement: Solana, by Jove, is going to “flip” Ethereum. One felt a slight shudder of disbelief, naturally.

The Scaramucci Conjecture

Now, this wasn’t a “tear down the establishment” type of flip, thank goodness. More a case of two chaps on the playing field, one simply progressing at a rather more energetic pace. “I think it will flip Ethereum,” declared our man Scaramucci, “but that doesn’t imply Ethereum is taking to its bed – merely that Solana might acquire a slightly larger waistcoat.” He elaborated to CoinDesk Live on December 11th, with the air of a man who’d given the matter considerable thought.

This wasn’t a fresh notion, mind you. It had been bubbling along for a bit. But this time, it came with fanfare – a brand new volume entitled Solana Rising, which, according to Mr. Scaramucci himself, had rather dashed up Amazon’s “new releases” list for finance types. A companion piece, one assumes, for the believers and those mildly curious, or possibly needing a large dose of persuasion. 🤔

The spiel is as familiar as a well-worn tweeds. Solana, apparently, is the speediest of the speedy, positively brimming with activity, costing next to nothing to employ, and offering a delightfully easy surface upon which to construct digital whatnots. Then add a dash of staking, and we’ve arrived at what Scaramucci terms “great tokenomics” – which sounds rather smashing, doesn’t it?

And, naturally, he has a vested interest. “Full disclosure, old boy,” he confided, “I have a rather substantial personal stake in Solana, and the firm, too, has seen fit to acquire a fair portion.” How substantial? Roughly 60% of SkyBridge’s “north of a nine-figure” balance sheet, apparently. His personal allocation? A modest 6-7%. Not quite selling the family heirlooms, one gathers. 😅

He was at pains to demonstrate he wasn’t hopelessly devoted to a single crypto-darling. Avalanche receives his gracious attention, as does Ethereum. No “chain monogamy” here, heavens no! “In fact,” he quipped, “who is chain monogamous?” A most pertinent question, when you consider the sheer number of possibilities.

The Skybridge Capital founder added, with a touch of persuasive excess: “It isn’t a matter of hearts and flowers; it’s merely the cold, hard logic of investment. It’s like owning a variety of stocks. But, frankly, I believe Solana is the fastest growing chap on the block – the most activity of the top 50 combined, as a matter of fact. Lots of uses, lots of versatility, easy to build on, and incredibly low fees. Staking it, as I do, unlocks some truly great tokenomics.”

And then, of course, there’s the new Solana ETF – a “first staking ETF,” as he helpfully clarified – which he views as a sure sign that we are still, as they say, in the early innings. Naturally, the price came up in conversation.

Could SOL reach a dizzying $300-$400 by next year? “Certainly,” he replied, tying it to the whims of US regulators and the possible passing of the CLARITY Act, which would, no doubt, unlock “the full utilization of tokenization.” Longer term? Prepare yourselves: “$1,000 over the next five years!” He declared with immense conviction.

Bitcoin was also given an airing. The same story, essentially: right conjecture, unfortunate timing. “I’ve been correct about Bitcoin,” he confessed, “but patently incorrect about when. “He’s still aiming for a target of $150,000-$200,000, hoping for a more lenient interest rate climate to propel it onwards.

At the time of writing, SOL was trading at $139.14.
