so many think there will be more than 2 SC you are a minority of 1 on that.so I consed my points that SC are a threat because you can not justify the need for more that 2 and I dont think that warrants a protocol change or or wasting bandwidth.
if you can agree that there will be thousands (eg community coins) as some suggest, and they may grow exponentially then yes I'm happy that you think all the scenarios I proposed are possible.
You guys really just skimmed through my post heh
Of course there will be thousands of SC serving differents financial purposes (stock issuance, etc. etc.)
But you can only attach so many additional functions to Bitcoin as money (store of value, means of exchange). Bitcoin as is works perfectly fine as store of value but has some deficiencies as a mean of exchange. Sidechains are here to solve these without relying on trusted third parties in a way that is interoperable with Bitcoin blockchain, preserves the Bitcoin ledger and prevents issues of trust and fractional reserve in the most decentralized way possible
so as you are in agreement its all possible you haven't addresses the logical outcome (note thread link history conveniently cut)
