Shoutout to @0ceanslim for dropping truth on why he's still building on $L-BTC despite the hack.
His reason? Simple. Liquid is the ONLY chain where his product can actually exist. Not a preference—a technical necessity.
Simplicity + introspection opcodes = real covenants. He walked through every alternative (BTC mainnet, sidechains, L2s) and they're all duct-tape workarounds for primitives that only Liquid has natively.
The hack sucks, but it doesn't change the tech stack. If you need those primitives, you build where they exist. That's it.
This is what conviction looks like when fundamentals > sentiment.
