I’m not a programmer, just a belligerent believer in scarcity. Imagine a side chain that becomes inherently more valuable than the main chain where the coins are locked up. Coins will flow to where they are worth the most, right? Costco Coin offers a 20% discount if you buy with their side chain. That side chain is now worth 20% more in real goods and services but with whatever vulnerabilities Costco wants it to have. Imagine now that this side chain was malicious or had an inherent bug in it. This opens up too much room for fuckary. In opening up value arbitrage between side chains you could drain liquidity from the main chain. People are dumb enough to buy shitcoins now. Why wouldn’t they buy “on chain” shitcoins. We don’t need to Elon pump BTC Doggie Coin. BTC only needs to do one thing. It needs to remain scarce and predictable. Everything else can be done on a lightning or Fedi or some other service. Those have been built without a drive chain, stop trying to “fix” Bitcoin. It’s good!
