Humble @Starknet critic

Starknet is not a leveraged bet on BTC - please stop saying this.

It’s misleading at best (and only maybe changes if OP_CAT happens - which it won’t). Every chain has centralized BTC wrappers. There's X differentiation here for Starknet.

Smart people see through this BS, and newcomers don’t care about this narrative. It serves no real purpose.

IMO, Starknet’s strongest narrative is app chains:

- Ultra-scalable, high-performance tech stack
- Native privacy and account abstraction
- Flexible settlement across chains

There’s simply no second-best when it comes to L2 tech stacks.

The real bottleneck is ecosystem and adoption. In a hyper competitive environment, building out an ecosystem for general-purpose L2 is a long, painful marathon 

So why not focus on onboarding top-tier teams to build app chains on Starknet - teams that can fully control and customize their chains? (not sure how app chains are monetized though)

There’s already one great success story: @tradeparadex. It should be celebrated and amplified.

My hope is that the next time a company like Robinhood decides to go onchain, they consider stark stack.

Cause it's worth considering.
