Sheraz Shere on why enterprises are picking Solana:
“What four years ago was our Achilles heel, has now become our strength. We are the most resilient blockchain. We have weathered huge load tests in production.
The Trump meme coin or the flash crash of 10/10... these aren’t like tests, like let’s do a load test. These are actual real world large events that you can’t plan for and that the network has proven itself.”
— Sheraz Shere, Head of Payments at the Solana Foundation

![Senator Bernie Moreno: How I Got Into Crypto and Blockchain
Senator Bernie Moreno on how he first got into crypto and blockchain:
“I came to my first Consensus conference 14 years ago. So a long time ago.
It was, I joke, 150 misfits. Now there’s a lot more of us...
And in 2016, with a partner, I started a company that uses
blockchain as the underlying technology to make card titles digital. We launched that company. It’s been doing very, very well. I sold my shares in that company. Again, not to have conflicts of interest in the Senate, but the company is absolutely [going bananas].”
