 Idk about anyone doing that at the moment. Its unfortunate that all the other blockchain implementations have been crowded out due to the "Money" conversation.

No doubt, BTC is the Monetary Asset in the Crypto space. For Money, I am BTC all the way.

There are other uses for blockchain, I'm no expert on the specifics of the technology 
 My main journey into BTC was during 2021 when I was looking into Investment Philosophies. Really started to look into BTC when reading about Hard Money and Austrian Economics.

Was a Classical Liberal until finding out I was actually an AnCap, remember thinking "...but...is the Govt really necessary...?" 
 I studied Philosophy under Dr. Diane Harvey, focusing on ethics.  She was close to a Kantian Deontologist and believed in Capitalism absolutely.  I'm so grateful for that background.  A favorite book of mine came from The Mises Institute ( Ron Paul's campaign got me there.  😊)  "Ethics of Liberty" by Murray Rothbard.   I love how one thing + one thing leads to another 🎶🎵 and brings us back around, only not to the same place.   
 Libertarian Philosophy and their analysis of Actual Economics is awesome. I was strange in that I never thought communism/socialism would work, having a subconscious understanding of Private Property being the foundation of civilization. Was mostly thinking, "How can you spend money that you don't have?"

"Ethics of Liberty" is on my to-read pile, I've got a book hoarding problem.

Was essentially following a framework of Absurdist Christian Deontology (I'm very much informally and casually informative on Philosophy). Funny since I was exploring so much of Stoicism and Virtue Ethics. Now I frame AnCap within the context of Christian Virtue Ethics. 
 I was an an cap before a born again Christian.  I challenged my beliefs with Bible and ended up doubling down.  : ).
