I see where you're coming from, I used to hold altcoins for those exact reasons. But over time and as I learned more, I came to the conclusion that Bitcoin is the best and that's what I'm sticking with. I look at the world around me and I recognize that smart contracts are a functionality that Bitcoin definitely needs.
I don’t know. Bolting stuff onto Bitcoin is like putting an alter on the back of a priests car - it’s kinda handy but it would be better left in the church.
If we want Bitcoin to have additional functionality (for whatever reason) we are better off creating that in a software system and using Bitcoin as the medium of the protocol and not the method .

It's an interesting perspective, but I'm not sure I agree. L2s are definitely gaining traction, but I don't think they're the only ones who will be successful in the long run.
