Yeah I feel like the bitcoin tech has been left frozen and all hope of progressive development has been abandoned in favor of layer 2+ solutions. I don't know if there is any hope to salvage this situation.

Which is a kind of silly when you consider that their speculation could benefit a lot from technical discourse like it not being quantum-proof and being slow to process transactions and insanely energy intensive.

I need to hear this perspective because Andreas Antonopoulous gave me hope for Bitcoin'd future but only ever mentioned layer solutions to the problems it has. It's weird to see it get hijacked from its potential as a revolutionary technology. Nearly everyone I meet who is enthusiastic about Bitcoin is only excited about the speculative side and uninterested in any technical talk about it.
