Bitcoin needs to have more node implementations, Core has a way too big market share, same for mining, its centralized. Right now core can put a SF, and 3 or 4 pools just activate it because they mostly don't care what SFs do, if Core looses the biggest market share, miners have to actively pick a node implementation. 1-Decentralize node implementations, 2-Decentralize mining. 3-Reject SFs, with each SF the attack surface only increases. Bitcoin doesn't need new toys, it needs stability and merchant/real world adoption, adoption is not failing because of lack of features, merchants and normies don't care about Defi or NFTS, Bitcoin already has what it needs to be used as money. We don't need distractions with Defi features, Bitcoin needs to stop, and people must focus on the ground work.

will the power law hold?

Maybe now people can realize that when some say don't use onchain, onchain bad, don't use LN too hard, use X instead, that X is beneficial to them somehow. When there is money there are agendas. So check when people interests and agendas are, take their opinions with a grain of salt.
