It is sad that bitcoin's solutions have a liveness expectation, whereas other chains have a lot of competing solutions where only some of those solutions have a liveness expectation
It is like watching a state-capital system versus a free-er market compete.
People in the state-capital system have completely binary things to argue about, with dissidents being shunned while everyone is stuck in a quagmire of false dilemmas. Third and fourth and additional options are not considered.
Whereas in the free-er market, people are allowed to take risks and fail, fail with LOTS of money and value, and iterate en masse towards solutions that are most "useful" ideally, but also service a variety of use cases.
