FTX cofounder Sam Bankman-Fried didn’t rule out that Solana could possibly overtake Ethereum during his appearance on Kitco:

Bankman-Fried also claims that Solana could be disrupted by another competing blockchain.

Sam Bankman-Fried urges buyers to never invest more than they are willing to lose:
No matter what you are investing in, it could actually go down by 90%.
