Is Solana Better Than Bitcoin?

In this video, I compare Solana and Bitcoin's on-chain transaction volume, uptime record, as well as the requirements for running a node.

Solana has high throughput and low fees, but at the expense of true decentralization. The cost and technical expertise needed to run a Solana node puts it out of reach of 99% of people on earth.

Solana also had a large premine, and suffers from the same problems that plague all proof of stake networks.

Ignore everything in this space except for BTC, because there is no second best.
