 We were promised sidechains would destroy altcoins. Instead, it looks like altcoins are going to use the same tech to extract Bitcoin to their centralized ecosystems. Clearly aiming at multicoiners with promises of "trustlessness."

A lot of multicoiners are going to get rugged out of their Bitcoin this cycle. 
 multicoiners are bitcoiners in waiting. The rug is what will take them where they need to go 
 When I hear multicoiner I think people who have multiple bitcoin. Shitcoiners is the term for people who use altcoins. 
 ah true. Maybe that what jimmy meant 
 How about ‘polycoiners’ 
 learned the hard way last cycle

 You can’t expect these people to learn. That’s not what they do. 
 brain damage makes it hard 
 Altcoins are dumb.  
 Bitcoin is property, the rest of coins are just investments on startups. Maybe some of them have great ideas and techs, but they aren't and won't probably never be property. In my opinion, this is what makes the big difference. 
 Watched a lot of it last cycle too 
 I think the next attack are sidechains (fake bitcoin). This is how they extract real bitcoins.
