Every solution is just various trade-offs, you just need to pick the ones that minimize your risk and maximize your benefit appropriately.

I don't know anything about those Eth-style solutions so I can't really comment. But you say "other than not having a governance token" as if thats some small thing.
Liquid BTC (L-BTC) only exist when BTC is locked into the multisig. Its auditable that the same amount of BTC in multisig = same amount of L-BTC in existence.
Your practical options at this point in time are:
- Mainchain
- LN
- Liquid
- WBTC / etc
- CEX
Thats all you have to choose from at the moment. Pick the thing you feel minimizes your risk and maximizes your benefit.
Personally, I think the list of Liquid members represents some of the most pro-bitcoin groups out there. The vast majority of those members are bitcoin only players...personally I trust them more than I trust WBTC / etc / whatever.

Refusing to acknowledge trade offs is utopian and immature and petulant

Wait, so well call the others "shitcoins" and "Peak FIAT" for years and now, Liquid, which has the exact same properties is just "a series of tradeoff"? What absolves them from being a shitcoin and "Peak FIAT"?
Has the community become this stupid or am I taking crazy pills?
