Thank you brother, concise and to the point Love it!

[@InvestAnswers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BD-tp6pr]

@@InvestAnswers Awesome as always guys! Can you take a look at TON some day?

[@kapitalidea]

This was a horrible comparison. Like comparing a new born with an adult. Not to mention SEI is far more of an Etherium competitor than a Solana killer.

[@jono3500]

Follow the money; don't marry your bags. Money in crypto always flows to the new shiny stuff, basically, narrative is king. SEI is less than half a year old. How would Solana have looked at 6 months old when compared to an older chain for many of these metrics? What will happen to Solana when the memecoin season ends? Look at Doge and Shib compared to their all-time high.

[@myeung6666]

Sol is my biggest bag, but Sei has a lot of potential. Get both. They can both over-achieve.

[@stevemiller8952]

Thanks James for your continued time and effort you and your team put into these videos. I really believe you do these videos to help those of us that are in great need of your wisdom and understanding of Crypto. Been following for 2 years. I have a large bag of Sol and a smaller bag of Sei. Looking forward to your video tomorrow.

[@InvestAnswers]

Glad you like them!

[@patrickpfeifer9008]

You cannot compare SOL and SEI, the purpose is completely different. SEI is 100% EVM compatible, this means it will take a huge part of ETH applications once version 2 comes to market. The developers don't need to port the application to SEI since it is 100% Solidity and EVM compatible. This is not the case with SOL. SEI is not a SOL killer but a serious ETH competitor.

[@brunorovina]

Absolutely, you can. Both are L1s with similar intentions, and there are parallelized EVM projects in Solana, such as Neon EVM, addressing this.

[@freedom9611]

He is “comparing” the 2 because of the internet pumping “sol killer” so he is sharing the data to his community. If the internet pumps “sol killer” that means the internet pumpers are comparing the two.

[@BootsManuva]

Yeah I have to agree with bruno. they are both defi orientated L1s, you cant really say they aren't. You make a fair point about EVM compatibility though, that is a huge asset and does make it a big ETH competitor. Its worth mentioning that there are several ways EVM dapps can work on Solana

[@mongoose6685]

People say "solana killer" because nobody talks about Eth anymore 😅

[@rick3792]

With 4 developers SEI isn't even trying to compete..only stat needed

[@jeffreygraham5625]

It would be interesting to see solana numbers at 3/4 months after launch compared to current SEI numbers.

[@arneilmarquez]

I agree. Sei is really early. You can't compare a new born to a pre teen.

[@drwayne_carter9115]

​@@arneilmarquezstill not a fair comparison. The crypto market as a whole is more mature today so any new chains born today will grow faster than chains born 3yrs ago, and new chains born 3yrs from now will grow faster than chains born today.

[@soilent9618]

@@drwayne_carter9115 it would still be a more fair comparison though. Of course Sol is going to win right now. It's like comparing early Apple to Microsoft or IBM. Not that Sei will become the next Apple, but just an example of possible growth for a young chain.

[@arneilmarquez]

@@drwayne_carter9115 Still. Sei is waaaaay to early. It still needs time to garner dapps, deals, etc etc. Also needs time to figure out if the chain has some bugs or weak points. The same way Sol had all those shutdowns last year. We don't really know what Sei is really capable of and its weak points.

[@tarekrazouk1978]

Sei has better potential profit wise. I surly agree that Sol is stronger right now. We are going to experience a new winners in the bull market. SEI is top 10 winners 🏆 (profit wise). We are in Crypto to make mony. This is the goal. Dont get emotionally attached to large caps projects (low profit).

[@ca6360]

Exactly... what is truly better... vs. What makes profit if purchased today? Could be both the same coin or dif coins Sei has low market cap compared to Sol

[@LongDefiant]

SEI, it ain't SOL!

[@cryptojammin1654]

I look at SEI as Solana’s little bro. Both can be winners without competing against each other

[@jw8927]

James, Sei has 28 full time devs and 75 monthly devs. 1410 commits.

[@redtiger7268]

The "technical winner" is not always the winner. James needs to remember HDDVD was technically better than Blu-Ray but lost, BetaMax was superior tech to VHS but lost. There are many more examples like this through technological advance. I think James puts way to much faith in SOL being the winner in the end.

[@marieluisehennes8304]

Solana = WEF - Token. .😮

[@jonnylloyd7775]

well when you take into account the size of the multiple moats sol has on top of 35000% more developer production to further those moats its hard not to also put the same amount of faith, but fair enough I do see your point

[@neilfowell690]

I don’t know if you can pull the data but it would be good to compare all these parameters at the same time from launch. Not easy to measure a mature asset verses one that is just being adopted.

[@-Rodrik]

Agreed

[@DanielRowlands1]

That's what I was thinking

[@audioeye2803]

Another bang on analysis. Count it. Thank you James.

[@InvestAnswers]

Thank you so much my friend for coming and I appreciate you being here every day. Thank you so much.

[@UnfilteredFinanceHub]

Hey James just wanted to jump in to thank you for all the hard work. I have started watching you since I was 22. Ever since I did, I managed to grow my own whealth substantially. I recently joined your patrion as well and I am just astounished by all the value you share with your community. We have the oppurtunity here to learn from the best. I look up to you and your service! Best wishes from Belgium 👏

You're enthusiasm is an absolute ray of light ✨️ 💜

[@chewiewins]

Thanks James. Comparing INJ vs TIA would be good, both being Cosmos chain.

[@jeylful]

Hi James, as usual thank you for all your team and your dedication doing this analysis. It gives us the tools to know what to do. I find your analysis unbiased and to the point, that's why I am subscribed to the email summaries. They are great value -- Thanks mate, have a good day ahead.

[@anahatagraceland5829]

Love data! Man you just keepkilling it for me. thanks so very much for the care and thoroughness you put into everything you do for us all. Really valuable -- once again!

[@InvestAnswers]

I appreciate that!

[@blockhead9070]

This comparison is like MIKE TYSON in his prime fighting the 2030 champ in 2024

[@DaloloDiak]

sol is way more mature and older, it became a "safer" investment for sure based on current data. However, SEI is hiring and it has a huge potential of becoming an alt coin gem. They are newborn and have a lot of hype due to its 50% fundamentals and of its 50% pampamentals.

[@therealwillcan]

James and his team are just awesome. NOBODY out there doing an analysis like this.

[@cyberbid]

Exactly, and for FREE with bombarding you with other BS. 💯 legit.

[@michaelcerami6830]

Sol orca raydium 🔥.. it all about the data 📈 💥. I love this Channel.. appreciate the hard work

[@12kvisions]

perception and reality - such difference! Only IA-James has the nerve to do this - amazing!

[@th3guard]

Huge huge fan of Astroport! They announced a partnership with SEI. Let the market decide whats best 😁

[@bluesheep54]

Why compare SOL and SEI? Aside from the fact they both begin with an 's' and have 3 letters, the similarities end there. SEI is EVM parallelisation, so if anything it's a more appropriate to compare it with ETH.

[@xhan1167]

SEI could cut into his model of SOL chipping away at ETH market cap. If app developers have a simpler and equally performant alternative to SOL, which supports their currently existing EVM-oriented smart contracts and applications, they'll obviously choose that.

[@mauricetermesana9419]

Solana has more than 3 letters

[@bluesheep54]

It does, but I wrote about the ticker SOL. Unless you're just sharing a random fact, in which case ermmm... thanks?@@mauricetermesana9419

[@cryptorunner6957]

In these face offs just hold both! You can’t lose

[@ph1102]

I suppose that the better comparison would be compare SEI now with SOL in the past, when Solana was at a similar levels of engagement, maturity, etc...

[@justwondering1967]

That was awesome. Thanks, James!

[@BootsManuva]

Great analysis. Thank you so much. I would be really interested to see SOLs numbers in all these categories from say early 2021. SEI has only only been around for a few months after all

[@garymclaughlin4457]

Sei has more potential for upside . Let’s face it and be honest . That’s what we’re here for . Also Sol operates in it’s on private playground which is a limiting choke point Imho. Whereas Sei plays in the big open playgrounds of Ethereum thus giving it way more potential. Potential is key as that’s what drives price. Sol is apparently fabulous but it’s operates as an island whereas Sol is in a vast continental community.

[@sympresa]

Awesome like always! Thanks for the work that went behind it

[@diencai1812]

Thank you James; awesome analysis!!!

[@jabrowski_]

Great take, liked and subbed

[@benhartart9487]

BTC, Sol, INJ in that order ❤🎉

[@desertgreek]

sei is a ,18 cent coin that is trading for over 80 cents, I think we wait till the market adjusts first. ?

[@Drseyazdrseyaz]

They are having a Major Update soon, doubt it will do that at all.

[@victoriagooch5062]

Thank you James. I'm learning so much about investing in the crypto market. I'm still in nappies lol. Your analysis really helped me. Just took profits on Sei and kept a small position as it does feel a little toppy. I think Solana has this bull run in the bag. Solana market sentiment feels strong.

[@horchler07]

The metrics you are using is not a fair comparison in my opinion because of the age of the chain. Couldn’t you look into growth and where Solana was at this point after its release to compare instead? If SEI was even in the ballpark of daily active users as SOL that would be incredible with the age of the SEI blockchain.

[@nasiruddin9869]

You have better ROI with SEI IMO as it's MC is a lot lower, and it still hasnt gone through a bull run. SOL is amazing, but trust me the big boys will continue dumping on normies!

[@user-eg4oh4fl1r]

Apparently you missed the slide that showed 76% of supply already released for SOL but only 24% for SEI. SEI will hail tokens on retail for the next 2 halvings. By 2026, SEI will be playing poker with Algorand every 3rd Tuesday complaining about how James ruined their beautiful ponzis.

[@nasiruddin9869]

@user-eg4oh4fl1r 😁 you are right, but look at sols token allocation. These guys are priming to dump on retail. The same thing will happen with SEI, but not just yet as the VCs need to pump it good before they dump.

[@trashkovic]

Was patiently waiting for this ❤

Hi James, It would be great to see a segment on Solana phone Saga, vs Solana phone 2. Thanks!

[@JanAlleman1]

I would say you only need 450 USD in airdrops and it's worth it, and the phone releases during the bull run. Easy win imo

[@brianpolly2975]

@@JanAlleman1thanks considered that. Bull run may be over before getting it. Air drops may not be as good. But I want a new phone and have been interested in the helium network for a couple years and done nothing:( are you buying one? Any other chains launching a phone?

MMMMM whatcha Seiiiiii. MMMMM that you only meant well.

[@MrRichie6921]

I'm loading up on SEi cuz I believe below $1 is a bargain

[@stephenshanebeaty]

I find this to be a ridiculous comparison One is brand new and the other is one of the largest cryptos that's been around and is established. Only way to compare them fairly is if you compare the same time frame like when Solana just started.

[@user-eg4oh4fl1r]

Thanks James for helping us sidestep some of the new garbage on the market. Newer doesn't mean better. If SEI had the tech but not the traction, you could just say it's "young." In this case, the tech is clearly inferior, so there's no way to bridge that gap... especially with a grand total of 4 developers.

[@ChrisH6]

That's like comparing a gym workout between a 10 year old and 20 year old. Common..... Sol was once a 10 year old too.

[@tarekrazouk1978]

Ppl get irritated once they see a successful project 😂. SEI, SUI, Kas, INJ. All are great projects. For the bull run choos stabel, low cap and profitable projects. Good luck everyone.

[@GreyBeard_Fit]

After using SUI over the past 2-3 months, I think SUI could be *"Baby" Solana or comparable to where SOL was last cycle around the same time frame.* SOL has been by far my favorite chain over the past 3 years, but SUI is giving me very similar vibes. **SUI** not SEI to clarify given that SEI is featured in this video.

[@tellket]

James, can you compare both projects by timeline? In other words, compare the older asset to the younger when both assets were at the same age. Thank you for the post.

[@rockanoreg2648]

Exactly this ! Will he be up for it? I doubt it as he has big sol bags. I imagine Sei would be the winner

[@aussie_pump]

Watch his $inj video

[@adasilva100]

Great comparison, I totally agree with your comments , but you need to remember that Sol has been out forever and Sei is a fairly new coin. And at this moment I don’t care if Sei is a Sol killer or not, I just want to surf the waves 😂

[@KEN-KEN_Crypto-Trader]

I am looking forward to Sei v2. I believe it has the potential to surpass Sol significantly. Anticipating an increase in TVL and ecosystem expansion for Sei Network after the upgrade is expected. Additionally, Yaka Finance, recognized by Sei as well, is poised to become the main DEX of Sei Network, establishing its position as a liquidity hub and making a significant contribution to TVL. I am bullish on both Sei and Yaka. What is your opinion?

[@ilgarabramov7663]
