i was once a shitcoiner myself.

probably many of us were at some point.

i used to love evm (back when i was not running my own node).

i was blinded by magic of smart contracts and things you can do with them. but just calling something decentralized doesn't make it decentralized.

i used to write smart contracts, did some "dynamic nfts" changing randomly based on last block data. also was working on a social media hosting posts on multiple evm chains. tried libs like SSTORE2 which tries to store data cheaper on evm chains by storing them as fake contracts. taking advantage of the discount. i also had an ens name, or names. played with lots of evm toys, gambled with evm games. got into debates how evm is better than bitcoin, and how bitcoin smart contracts suck.

used to dislike maxi content, and matthew krater videos, leave dumb comments on his videos, go excited for taproot.

all the reason evm was "magical" was the "common protocol", "it's decentralized", but its not decentralized at all. that's why it can handle that much junk. if its not decentralized its not magical anymore, its a scam.

we were all dumb at some point.

but you learn. nothing lives on the ether. things run somewhere. and its either you are running it or someone else.

there is no reason for everything to be on the bitcoin chain. there is no reason for your git repo to live on youtube, there is no reason for your video content to be hosted on github, or npm registery.

bitcoin is bitcoin. anything else abusing the bitcoin network for things other than bitcoin are just parasites, or parasite protocols.

bitcoin is bitcoin. simple.
