>bitcoin doesn't scale
but it does... it scales naturally by letting excess traffic spill over into other chains. it is regrettable that this usually necessitates a new currency or a dodgy IOU, the trust assumptions get worse, and the new chain doesn't give transaction fee revenue to bitcoin miners. ethereum is the #1 bitcoin scaling solution, bigger than lightning, liquid, cashu, spark, and arkade combined. this benefits ethereum more than it benefits bitcoin. even spark benefits lightspark more than it benefits bitcoin. the users are the biggest losers here. you will be stuck with a cuckold chain for as long as you keep wasting time on lightning.
the drivechain idea is more closely aligned with the way that bitcoin scales naturally. it's just a clever way to enable what is already happening to benefit bitcoin the most. I don't even care if it won't be called "drivechain" or if it uses covenant opcodes instead of hashrate escrows. the idea fits more neatly into observable reality.
oh boo hoo people won't come
you lacked the courage to kill all the altcoins and replace them with sidechains. you permit the multichain future to exist. it's time to roll out the red carpet for your new friends. I'm already here.

>small UTXOs are bad. you should have consolidated your UTXOs. we should confiscate small UTXOs. I am very smart
ok Mr. Enlightened Buttlicker, what is the maximum size of an unspendable UTXO next year or in five years? you don't know. nobody fucking knows.
