Yeah, I think I see it as there are other coins that are smart contract coins. If you created another coin, that's not making Bitcoin do something new. That's STX doing something, just like ETH does something. Rootstock manages to do alot without creating an altcoin.

Ethereum cannot read or write to Bitcoin. Stacks can and does and has its own wire formats and op codes, which is why this works on Stacks and not on any other existing chains.

Okay, every feature that I see that Stacks does, and it has a bunch, I just see it as a feature of Stacks. (I never look at a feature of Stacks and think "Bitcoin does that." I do when I see micropayments on Lightning, for example.)

I agree with you and did not mean to suggest otherwise. Existing implementation is not Bitcoin, just uses Bitcoin in a novel way. Future implementations will change this however, in precisely the way suggested by #[2]
