Many fans thought Solana would not fulfill its promises of being the Ethereum killer and Tyson was making a mistake by going all-in on it. Most of the NFT transactions currently take place on the Ethereum blockchain. However, Solana looks to change that.

Many experts also predict that Solana will continue eating away at Ethereums’ market share.

“SOL spent more time out than your opponents, tech is rushed and it clearly doesn’t work. It’s an VC rug pull in making, I hope you are aware of it and are not paid to promote it as that will end badly with low enforcement agency when it all blows up..” One user said on Twitter.

Another user said, “Bro what is wrong with you? How much money you did put into Sol that you are trying to pump it so hard with tweets its overpriced as hell” 

However, some users felt Tyson made the right choice and supported his decision. One user also spoke about how strongman Thor Bjornsson is also a part of Solana.

“@MikeTyson SOL is the Future @ShreddedApes will be the cause for it. Ape in now brother we have @ThorBjornsson_ on board with us”
