Oh wait I forgot the drivechain use case is "it will make shitcoins obsolete".

No it won't. It is willfully ignorant to assert that shitcoins exist, entirely because sidechains on bitcoin don't. Firstly, sidechains already exist, and nobody fucking uses them. Secondly, shitcoin projects are not noble science experiments -- they are venal cash grabs, and as long as stupid people will exist, so will venal cast grabs.

Right. The main purpose of shitcoins is pump-and-dump. If the sidechain is successful at maintaining the peg, then moving shitcoins there makes no sense.

If the peg can’t be maintained, then funds go to miners, who are incentivized to centralize to sweep them.
