This. People who want to use EVM contracts go and do it on chains with more liquidity. "It's built on bitcoin!" isn't enough of a reason for people to leave behind deeper liquidity and a larger ecosystem.

Lol what do altcoins do that actually need to be ported to bitcoin? Didn't RSK show that no one in bitcoin cares about EVM based smart contracts

I love the idea. How about implementing on Litecoin first, as a test run? 

Would a sidechain for implementing the Cardano's extended UTXO model be a sensible idea?

Somehow, this reminds me of Dead space lore. Bitcoin as a brethren moon and altcoins as the markers.

First, everyone gets obsessed with altcoins; turning them into shitcoiners. But after some time, these altcoins get merged back into bitcoin.
