No. Because I can tell the difference between "innovation", "optimisation" & "extension" and my bitcoin cheerleading credentials are as intact as your's if you care to check.

At the same time - and no matter how hard people like you try to plaster on the makeup - its nodes remain dumb, the one thing that did need to change to qualify for "innovation". It's a choir that can only sing in unison, not harmony - never more than the sum of its parts which is why....it constantly needs "to add more parts" !  

I'm sure that bitcoin's approach - extending the scaffolding out the way to firefight against scaling, fungibility and useability challenges - may see some success. It just won't be "innovative" since it's what you do when you can't think of anything else
