I appreciate the response and viewpoint. Keeping Bitcoin simple has ossified it though. Purposely, it has limited the attack surfaces. Which is why it's the hardest money ever created. Without this security, Bitcoin has nothing.
I think no blockchain could 'compete' with it due to a multitude of reasons but its due mostly because core and the idea of what core should be, is simple.
Usually the first ideas of innovation are the best.
This is where it's strength lies. It's simple, secure and it works as being the hardest money EVER.
Ethereum, Solana etc think, mistakenly, they do better things than Bitcoin. But they don't. Their L1's are not as robust and secure.
To me the ultimate test is there's nothing stopping any group from locking or holding Bitcoins up to be pegged in to a sidechain. It's like placing gold in a vault.
Drivechain sounds like it wants to melt the gold, invite the metal smith's into the plant and create alloys that might blow the whole thing up.
I don't understand the code of drivechain to evaluate the widening of the attack surface. But my question would be, for anyone, ethereum, monero, solana are hoping to be Swiss army knives while Bitcoin is a Katana. How do you justify whittling away the katana to add a corkscrew?

Usually know I've won an argument when the other person can't articulate their points and can default to name calling and swearing. Bad look. ๐ฌ
My points are salient. If they're so utterly wrong you should be able to easily dismantle them. I'm not overly tied to my opinion.
Sorry you got triggered into swearing and insults. I'm thinking it drives my point home even further if this is the sort of ethos and attitudes around drivechain...
Roger Ver used to rage and throw insults like this too back in the BCash days. I say you guys follow suit. Hard fork Bitcoin, call it "Bitcoin DC".
I'll send you some sats as seed money even.
>my core heuristic is that if my hot takes are so dumb, repetitive and out of scope the other person uses language i don't like, i've won.
i gave good answers and you replied with nonsense. obvious troll
No. I just see the risk:use ratio and a LOT of us are in the same view. Your analogies were about Air missles, Playstation and credit cards.
I appreciate your effort but speak about the code changes directly without jargon maybe? Or articulate WHY it's even needed. Sidechains and L2 seems decent enough.
My repeated point about it being the hardest money ever created was illustrating that something incredible has been invented. And it's working! If we implemented every gOoD iDeA to come along the Bitcoin would be Solana or Shiba Inu.
Bip300 isn't a small change and augments the use case considerably.
Maybe Drivechain *is the bees knees but yeah, yelling and name calling gives off Bcash vibes.
Bitcoin doesn't need to change to allow in/out 'trustless' escrow so shitcoins can exist on it in this manner.
And if it does you're doing a bad job of explaining it.
It's also not that I just don't like your language. I'm just not about name calling and swearing at ppl with different views. Twitter is more that vibe tbh.
And I find usually people do this when they've lost an argument and have no other rebuttle or explanation and are triggered someone else has a different view. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Haha. Opened Twitter and saw this.


Your analogies were about katanas and swiss army knives and melting gold. I met you at that level of description.
What do you mean by side chains are Decent enough ? DC allows sidechains without damaging bitcoin. If you support lightning and liquid, you support DC.
What do you mean by risk:use ratio ? The risks are quantized and the uses are unlimited so your ratio is n:8 which is nonsense.
>Maybe Drivechain *is the bees knees....
Oh, i see, you are from the 1800's. No wonder you are so lost. These fancy electric gramaphones in your hand are pretty gosh darn neat huh ?
> Bitcoin doesn't need to change to allow in/out 'trustless' escrow so shitcoins can exist on it in this manner
If the shitcoin exist on bitcoin with DC, what are they escrowing in and out of ? This what i mean you don't understand DC or even basic sentences strung together. Just stay out of commenting on bleeding edge issues, or read more and be less dismissive of proposals you don't actually understand.
If you had at any point said something useful or indicated the ability to understand new concepts, i would not have used "bad" words.
Dc is not a popularity contest, its a technology it doesn't care if you or anyone else have good feelings in your tummy about it.
It stands on its own merits and not the soothing public blowjob ability of anyone talking about, it does not fall because of vested interest promoting the boring catchphrases and dead mental memes you keep using that are not arguments against DC.
I have plenty of rebuttles. This conversation devolved into flames because of switching apps and reading the drivechain FAQ you replied dumb shit i had just answered.
Behavior like that is worth insulting. Seriously stop replying and read something more than 140 characters.
Saifdean is a grifter. A very smart and quick witted economist. He's like the person i was fucking at the time when bitcoin came out and said "Well the state will just buy up all the bitcoin and control it." But far less attractive and far worse tits.
