i looked into bitVM recently excitedly as it was the first new bitcoin l2 thing i’d heard of recently- unfortunately from a quick read it doesn’t seem viable:
- too slow and cumbersome
- inherent centralization (no path to having a permissionless challenger)
at best doomed to liquid network style existence
i’ve been experimenting with working in VR with a quest pro- first HMD i’ve tried with the right combination of comfort, optics quality, and software that makes this practical
i find mastodon and similar a bit annoying, because i think they’re doomed approaches that refuse to ack the platform/network dynamics that they compete with
