They're not done laughing yet though. Many of us have succumbed to enemy FUD/threat misdirection, taken our eye off the prize and turned on each other in a battle for second place, last decapitation in a Highlander competition. We can fight over optimizations later, if we win.

After 10 years in crypto, for the first time, it feels like we are entering the early stages of mainstream adoption. Am I relieved? No. I'm fearful because it marks the end of our ability to be ignored. Get ready to fight.

Depends on what level you are fighting. If your charge is only free capitalism, that makes sense. If you also want to do things like improve human cooperation, efficiency, self-sovereignty, and dismantle central banks, then there very few alt protocols to Bitcoin with relevance

The lack of relevance is inefficiency, the opposite of optimization, it is fiat paradigm. Superfluous shitcoins are not harmless, despite being good business. You could maybe argue for stuff like Monero, but the great majority is a huge friction on everyone.

I guess some of us believe that without some wild tangents and rabbit holes, we would have already gotten to where we should have been. Without some level of infighting, capital gets misallocated. Like the blockchain not bitcoin detour of 2014/2015. And maybe the 2017 ICO...
