Honest question.
I want to understand.
BitVM supporters say that they do not need any change to Bitcoin, and could do things like drivechains.
Drivechain supporters say that a soft fork is needed, a small change, to use some op code, but I guess it will be difficult to convince core developers to merge it or node operators to run it.
Is it true that BitVM can achieve the same thing without a need for Bitcoin soft fork?
If true, it looks promising, right?
Or, if not the same thing but less, what additional capabilities will be unlocked by drivechains that cannot be done with BitVM?
