as much as i agree, that base is forcing narratives, I’d like to present an alternative take.

tbh if we noticed that base never took the lead in any winning narratives.

memes - Solana, BNB chain
rwa - Plume
defi - Arbitrum seeing more defi now on Solana, BNB chain too.
bitcoin - Lighting network

ai launches - base? but was short lived, only support with cb listing way after, and then zora came but didnt last too long.

recently they are onto tokenization, prediction markets, creator coins, and their launch of @baseapp (all in one app, trade anything) mentioned in an ama with @justinsuntron @Punk9277 yesterday

my guess is that base can do everything but excels at none because of strict ties with cb and under regulatory watcheye. they are trying to be early but it comes with risks and to front run each narrative but someone just does it better.

they have the huge runway to be early and last through a marathon, so probably they can afford to just grind through some really dry narratives

still very little interest on base. i wonder what can be the 100x growth for base?
