FYI: Personal Pet Peeve
Blockstream guys are a bunch of dumb asses. IMO  Cheesy

All coins are permissioned, None are permissionless.

Here is why PoW is Permissioned, ( mined on a CPU or ASIC)
Facts
Permissions Required to generate a PoW Block if you Mine it
1.  Permission from the ASICS seller , to buy their ASIC.
2.  Permission from your local Govenment to allow the ASIC to be shipped to you.
3   Permission from the Electric Company to power your ASIC.
4.  Permission from the Mining pool you have to join because group mining is your only shot
5.  Permission from your ISP , so you have internet access to attempt to mine it.
6.  Permission from the original programmer thru the Open Source License granted so you can run the software.
If you pay someone else to mine it , You need their permission and acceptance of your currency.

Permissions Required if you just buy it. (Same for PoW & PoS)
1.  Permission from the Exchange
2.  Permission from the Seller

Free Faucet  (Same for PoW & PoS)
1.  Permission from the one running the faucet

Hopefully we can put that falsehood permissioned verses permissionless to rest , because nothing peeves me more that hearing the same lie more than once.
There are No Permissionless systems in crypto.

 Cool

FYI2:
Locking BTC up onchain, does not actually move the BTC onto a side chain, that is just stupidity on their part.
Also offchain or sidechains both hold the potential to introduce counterfeiting & fractional reserve systems into crypto.
(Onchain transactions can not be counterfeit and they can not run fractional reserves with it onchain, which is why offchain/sidechain is just the banking scum worming their way into crypto.)  Tongue
