 Bitcoin/lightning + nostr can probably do everything devs claim to be novel on Ethereum and other blockchains. If VCs stopped luring devs away from doing the hard stuff happening over here, maybe we could get some momentum and prove it sooner rather than later. But bitcoiners have low time preference and we build things to last, not just pump in the short term.

 And I will add, all the shit ETH devs talk about is theory no one does it.  There is no demand for it.  ETH is like BCH in some ways.  All the crap that SLP inside BCH was going to do, it never did and some of it like "microtipping" BTC IS DOING RIGHT NOW. 

Saying a thing can do a thing when no one cares about the thing, means noTHING.   ETH has been around over a decade now of saying it can do all sorts of stuff.  But all it does is make shit coins and enable leveraging shit coins and exchanging them.

 i agree bitcoin / LN + nostr can do a lot. don’t know if it can do everything and ethereum currently does nothing but i agree that the vc pump for vaporware stuff can be frustrating and damaging
