Blitz players are trickster mainly depend on traps cause of less time but Rapid player are stronger cause they consider many variations and they are more accurate
Elo (rating) is relative. You cannot compare different pools. Period.
um i think it depends on the player not on elo but if elo is what we have to consider rapid is the more accurate but blitz can also produce some amazing games
In my case if I were 2100 blitz I would be 2000 rapid and if I were 2100 rapid I would be 2200 so
General- 2100 blitz
Me(I wish)- 2100 rapid
General- 2100 blitz
Me(I wish)- 2100 rapid
statistically it is clear that rapid 2000 Lichess is weaker thatn Blitz 2000. Rating of 2000 does not indicate certain level of chess but (in case lichess) it means one is 600 points stronger than median player. And blitz pool by far stronger pool than rapid. In particular strong player are missing from rapid (and classic) pool
I think its must be blitz because the time is a bit low in blitz than rapid
rapid
blitz
2100 Blitz is 2100 blitz and 2100 rapid is 2100 rapid.

2100 rapid is 94th percentile, and 2100 blitz is 92nd percentile. So 2100 rapid is more rare.
Another observation - Blitz had 693k players this week, rapid had 413k players. So blitz has about ~68% more players. However there are 2827 rapid players rated 900, and 6193 blitz players rated 900. There seems to be lots more players that do very badly at blitz, and somewhat fewer players that do very well at rapid.
Still the best way to analyse this would be to look at 2100 blitz and 2100 rapid players and see their respective performance at the other format because it could always be the case that one rating pool is GENERALLY stronger than the other. If we presume the rating pools are the same strength, 2100 rapid should be slightly stronger than 2100 blitz, and 900 blitz should be stronger than 900 rapid.
I disagree with the people saying you can't compare rating pools, I just did after all. I'll even compare overwatch players to badminton players, just watch me.
