Silicon Valley, CA — With Ethereum officially declared dead, the crypto community is now split between ETH Doomers and SOL Maxis, each hilariously convinced they hold the high ground.

ETH Doomers, who long predicted this collapse with the fervor of doomsday preppers, are reveling in their vindication. “We’ve been saying this would happen for years,” crowed Chad Darkweb, self-appointed spokesperson. “While others were blindly investing, we saw the writing on the wall.”

Not to be outdone, SOL Maxis are basking in their triumph, claiming Ethereum’s death proves Solana’s superiority. “This is exactly why we backed Solana,” said Luna Fastblock, a leading SOL evangelist. “While Ethereum was crumbling, Solana has been soaring with its unparalleled speed and efficiency.”

The declaration has led to a flurry of activity on social media, where ETH Doomers and SOL Maxis are locked in a fierce battle of smarmy superiority. ETH Doomers flood the internet with “told-you-so” memes, while SOL Maxis counter with triumphant infographics showcasing Solana’s rise.

Crypto psychologist Dr. Satoshi Nakameme observes, “Both groups need to assert their superiority. For the ETH Doomers, it’s about validation of their predictions. For the SOL Maxis, it’s about seizing the moment to cement their platform’s dominance.”

Meanwhile, the wider world watches with confusion and bemusement. “Is this like when MySpace died and everyone moved to Facebook?” one bewildered observer wondered aloud.

In the end, the real winners may not be those who predicted Ethereum’s demise or those who champion the next big thing, but those who spin the most compelling narrative of superiority. And in that regard, both ETH Doomers and SOL Maxis are masters, exuding a smarmy confidence that makes them the Comic Book Guys of the blockchain world.
