With all the BTC development happening over the last few years, honestly it's been surprising how little it has impacted BTC.
A. That's a testament to how far along BTC already was, but also
B. As we see by Ordinals/inscriptions, there are other use-cases which require very little actual development, just the right set of people coming to it.
Most of the devs in the STX space are probably chasing the same defi stuff the rest of the smart contact platforms are, for bet or worse. It don't excite me either.
One thing that makes them stand out is the code is readable, not compiled and not Turing complete, important to us who still contend Turing complete and Blockchain don't mix.
I liked the idea of Namecoin, and am a fan of some aspects of Handshake. I'd love to be able to link a handshake TLD to a STX contract to offer decentralized SLD's off of. I wish these things coulda launched without a coin. The coin is always the worst part of good alts. A part of me still believes the good platforms will be swallowed up by BTC and the coins will become nothing. In the meantime, there is interesting tech out there w some projects and that's with celebrating.
