I find it very entertaining that large parts of CT will argue both of these depending on which token they're defending:
-buybacks aren't real value accrual, only dividends to token holders are
-dividends to token holders aren't real value accrual, only buybacks are
(both are)
@MonetSupply yep solana validators take a huge cut today, bottom line to token holders in aggregate ends up ~1/2 REV rn
& yep running mev-optimized validator isnt practical for most, but the underlying economics of it do impact where the equilibrium heads anyway
@MonetSupply i.e. it matters that in reality it doesn't cost like $150mm operators are making this quarter to run all this bc
- a rational sophisticated actor can do it themselves
- and it highlights why margins should compress over time anyway
