you should be able to understand that it CANT be ALL on the mainchain. There are diametrically opposed requirements. Like anonymity vs. public spending accountability. Like handling vast numbers of txns per second vs. keeping all transactions forever. Like blockchain spam vs. document timestamping. There are plenty of things with diametrically opposed requirements in life, like sleeping (darkness) and reading a book (bright light); its unrealistic to imagine no 2 applications will emerge in a space which covers the entire concept of economic activity.

All of that is true, ergo altcoins exist.

Your desired "forced buy in to BTC" is improper and unnecessary.

Its not forced, it is offering another choice of a new type of altcoin that happens to be backed by BTC.

As for whether the market wants that particular solution, we will have to see.
