I like that answer.
If you speak with devs who then decide not to get involved with Bitcoin, what are their typical objections like?
Are there any common criticisms of Bitcoin or consistent reasons for not participating?
Their typical responses are (I'll paraphrase):
- They don't see it having a bright future like Eth or some other project.
- They feel tooling isn't as readily available to build cool projects.
- They think Bitcoin is only about the asset, no smart contracting or interesting things can be built on it.
- I can't build on a planet killer (due to PoW).
- There is no clear path for me to become a Bitcoin/LN dev (something Qala is solving).
- Some feel it is a scam (a small minority).
So I'd say I get several consistent responses when engaging with devs, usually falling into one of the many above.
