There’s a cultural reason in the loud opposition to experimentation.

It’s actually just loud opposition, not strong opposition! Most bitcoiners don’t oppose experiments. But many builders confuse the loud voices for strong voices, and just give up.

Personally as people might’ve noticed, I don’t really mind opposition, and I’m happy to charge away anyways, but that’s not always the case for all builders. I think many of them were turned off because of the culture, even if that’s somewhat irrational, but thankfully I think the culture is starting to change in the last year.

Experimentation is important, because through experimentation you discover new successful usecases (and many failed usecases!), and each new successful usecase brings about a wave of adoption.
