Isn't Altcoin a distraction to Bitcoin adoption?
I think that altcoins are an obstacle for bitcoin's adoption.
Here is my view. Bitcoin was a significant computing breakthrough in computer sciences to solve the double-spending problem in distributed systems. Real breakthrough ideas in computing are rare, I would say they happen once in a decade.
Altcoins are mostly derived from Bitcoin's code, but with some changes or additions that claim to enhance its functionality or performance. However, most of these changes are either needless, untested, or harmful to the security and decentralization of the network.
Altcoins also create confusion and divert the attention and resources of others from the real innovation of Bitcoin. Instead of concentrating on the adoption and improvement of Bitcoin, which has the most reliable and proven network, altcoins mislead users and investors with false claims and hype, this is not my opinion, it is based on facts.
In software engineering, I appreciate the Layered architecture style (system is organized as a series of layers that are seen as stacked on one another like TCP/IP stack) So rather than being sidetracked by the new get rich quick innovative yada yada yada blockchain.. people could work on projects higher up in the layer projects like LN, Nostr, BitVM, etc.
