So many people have been focused on ETH as new "De-Fi" platforms emerge over time. The number of stablecoins available on the ETH blockchain, makes "De-Fi" extremely attractive. It's no secret that most dApps, stablecoins, and tokens are living on Ethereum. But what if Bitcoin gets smart contract capabilities? Then it would be able to outmatch Ethereum in the "De-Fi" space.
as time goes by, i'm less interested in trying to have bitcoin integrate every possible feature and use case, including complex smart contracts. that encourages massive blockchain bloat (just look at ethereum!) which in turn will threaten bitcoin's primary use case as decentralized money. and that's really what matters---retaining the decentralization and consensus that underlies bitcoin's monetary properties.
i don't care about driving de-fi hype to bitcoin. bitcoin is clearly going to the moon no matter what.
Unfortunately, RSK is not very popular in the crypto/Blockchain space.
can anyone give me the tl:dr on what RSK can do (or not do), and why nobody uses it? i remember it was the talk of the town a few years ago.
