I understand your sentiment. My struggle is that it seems most techies think about bitcoin as just another technology. They want to build and innovate, which means adding new features.

But bitcoin isn’t a technology… it’s a monetary network. The task (and challenge) is to guide it to ossification.

Maybe the few techies who understood that stayed, while the rest went and created a monster in Ethereum. When tech debt piles up in Ethereum, they’ll go and innovate on the next blockchain.
