"I see a lot of people pushing drive chains because it makes shitcoins redundant.
  1. Shitcoins are already redundant
  2. I don't want shitcoins on bitcoin
  3. People are not going to stop using shitcoins just because bitcoin has a drive chain as they don't care about security. If they did they would be using bitcoin.
Furthermore the incentives for miners to behave are not robust enough, loss of future income and community good will are too wishy-washy" -Blop, from Discord

We'll continue to lose liquidity (and transaction fees) to shitcoins by making the perfect the enemy of the good.

It isn't even good though. People use shitcoins for a quick buck and all the shiny promises for bells and whistles are merely to attract them into thinking that they will make a quick buck (see point 3)

People are gonna do what people are gonna do. It's much better for bitcoin if we can capture that and use it to secure the chain (pay miners).

Right now people can do things off of bitcoin that they can't do on bitcoin (including stupid token schemes). If we can get those things on bitcoin that would be better for security of the chain.
