It seems we are again challenging our ideas of sidechains.
what's happening is again you're not understanding my questions.
presumably these scBTC will have a market price on an exchange, just like BTC. so i ask again, would the price of scBTC on an independent exchange affect your assessment of how well the SC with its innovation is working?
no, what's happening is you don't understand the tech.
presumably, these scBTC if pegged 1:1 and properly implemented would have a market price closely correlated to BTC's from the jump. the price of BTC units on a sidechain is not dependent on whether the innovation is working or not
it's perfectly reasonable to expect the price to differ in certain circumstances even in the presence of arbitrage.
