"#Bitcoin will never have a thriving ecosystem because it doesn't have smart contracts!"

Hold on—most regular users don’t even know what a smart contract is, let alone why they should care. Why would they be concerned when similar functionalities can already be done on Bitcoin using #PSBTs (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions) and #DLCs (Discrete Log Contracts)? 

It’s worth thinking about—Bitcoin's ecosystem is evolving, just not in the same way as platforms that focus heavily on #smartcontracts.
