Solana founder connects blockchain to Satoshi’s Bitcoin vision

Solana (CRYPTO:SOL) founder Anatoly Yakovenko recently made a surprising comment on Twitter, suggesting a unique link between Solana and Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC)

Yakovenko claimed, "Solana is a Bitcoin L2 endorsed but not backed by Satoshi. She just did a much better job covering her tracks this time around." 

This statement has sparked curiosity and debate within the cryptocurrency community, as it appears to draw an unexpected connection between Solana and Bitcoin.

Solana (SOL) was designed to improve scalability and censorship resistance, allowing for significantly higher transaction throughput at a lower cost compared to other blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

However, while Yakovenko's remark likens Solana to a Bitcoin Layer 2 (L2) solution, it is essential to clarify that Solana is an independent Layer 1 blockchain with a unique proof-of-history (PoH) consensus mechanism. 

The statement may be more metaphorical, implying that Solana’s design incorporates some fundamental principles found in Bitcoin’s architecture.

Yakovenko, who proposed Solana in 2017 and launched it in 2020, has made such tongue-in-cheek statements before. 

Earlier in February, he reacted humorously to a 120-page email correspondence between Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto and Martti Malmi, an early Bitcoin developer. 

Yakovenko drew parallels between the ideologies of Bitcoin and Solana, stating, "Satoshi also invented solana. She just did a much better job covering up her tracks this time. The truth is out there."

While Solana operates as a standalone blockchain, Yakovenko’s comments suggest a conceptual connection to Bitcoin’s principles, possibly alluding to the architectural inspirations behind Solana's development.

At the time of reporting, the Solana (SOL) price was $131.80, and the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $59,440.18.
