@llamabyte got downzapped 100 sats after opening with an eye-watering ad hominem:
you. your post. the replies to it, are all evidence of the cultural risk:
thanks to the same personal qualities that confound my productivity and result in my appearing dead to github, I only saw your comment now... should I even bother with any more of it?

you. your post. the replies to it, are all evidence of the cultural risk:
non technical arguments, ignorance, or outright lying
in the hands of a few influential people they become political risk. Drivechains mitigate these risks, they do not get rid of them nor is that the intent.
lightning doesn't scale and if bitcoin doesn't scale, it dies or gets replaced by something that does. period.
States and competing chains have not really even begun attacking bitcoin yet. Retardation like Bip110 is just a small example of the kind of signal corruption and time waste states and bad actors are capable of were they to really try.
Drivechains ends THAT kind of politics.
Through crack smoking like yours and particularly the poisons introduced by peter todd and luke dashjr into the development history, bitcoin is already 42% sick.
42% of the total market and activity is outside bitcoin and at best your solutions try to pay LESS total fees to the miners securing it.
bitcoin is not perfect and has and will change
How should this change happen? The current process is broken, political and slow. DC allows market/user choice. Individual opt-in to changes that leave the base layer untouched, and on which you can stay if you want.
Politics will reappear, the point of BIP300/ecash is not to end or escape politics but to channel it constructively and in ways that those who risk most profit most or learn why they are wrong.
Current Bitcoin devs can get jobs doing something else if bitcoin fails. peter todd and others have stated this repeatedly, that if changes to bitcoin they don't like are made they will do something else. Please Go. Shooooo!
The difference is between the current centralized papist/cardinal enclave like decision making of core, BIPs on github, and influence brokers, like catholic Europe, versus the free enterprise of protestant America.
Is it not obvious that millions of currently silenced devs will be more rational, more creative, more ecosystem saving, than a few privileged-to-have-been-early OG's blowing white smoke out of their ass to approve or disapprove certain things on bitcoin?
After fork day, sell me your ecash, and we will cut off your head off with it. (metaphorically)
