What kills me is that the proponents of Drivechain fail to understand that there are two types of customers.
There are the ones who want Bitcoin to be the best it can be, and they dont see the need for side chains, hence from their PoV, there is no demand for it.
And there is the otherside. The gamblers, who will open the floodgates to the sidechain casino. Which will drive unwanted demand.
And of course there is the crazy mining approach with all its risks.
Im group 1. I would prefer we continue working on Lightning.
