I'm probably going to create a token on the solana blockchain - there's been extreme recent growth there and it's probably a much better market when compared to what my previous projects were hosted on (algorand). I remember seeing a total of 500K dollars in liquidity in algorand projects and feeling dumbfounded.

It was nothing compared to solana. 500K, I thought it was 500 Million dollars. It made no sense as to how I made so much money on the chain especially considering how small their community was. I could've made 3x more if it were on a bigger chain. Sometimes it's about the vehicle and not about the input to output ratio. So, solana or cardano it is. I'll slowly keep improving the project in my mind and eventually get to creating the actual project. All I know is that projects grow over time, so aslong as I've got constant growth, it'll eventually reach 100 active users, 1k active, users, and then 1 million active users, That's how maths works. Consistent growth over time is the gem for project owners and the best way for you to achieve that is to make sure the market is big enough for you, and most of the time, it is.
