Carlsen is a much better strategic and tactical thinker but nakamura is calmer and faster

Apart from playing tournaments and matches, a chess celebrity/personality could develop in other areas: a streamer, a commentator, a chess businessman/woman, an author, a chess teacher, or a chess researcher.

Obviously, Carlsen is a better player than Nakamura in almost all formats of the game. But the difference is minimal, especially in blitz. But in the other areas, Nakamura is far better and the difference is huge, especially as a streamer.

hikaru is better in blitz but carlsen is clasical and rapid

Carlsen may be the world champion in classical chess and also be very strong in others, but Hikaru has done a lot more for the sport especially on popularizing it onto a larger audience. Also Hikaru is better at Blitz.

Like I said before: Carlsen is better at thinking but Nakamura is better at speed
As you can see Nakamura is the first place in the blitz
