Is Blockstream working on one of those Turing complete scripting languages for smart contracts as a sidechain at all? Are they in competition with Ethereum?

imo, there is no need for a turing complete stack language for specialized use cases like smart contracts. this is bullshit and is coming from ethereum fanboys. security is the first target all other targets have to follow.

ethereum is a hype whithout a single proof in the wild so far.

I would say there is a use for that, that you're a bit harsh on eth here ^^

But that would be really strange to use btc for that. No need to complexify and corrupt the security of btc.

And this is why i'm neither a proponent for the segwit softfork.

I'm sorta tired with the upgrade rush.

Bitcoin is not a sprint, it is a marathon.

Agreed!

Not being able to scale to the adoption is not a real problem. Compromising the current security and potentially losing the trust of years of survival... Now that's what i call a problem.
