I sense you may be building a new coin to monetize sidechain tech, and not using bitcoin. Will you put this concern to rest for me?

Thank you for all your hard work on bitcoin Greg.

What do you think of the terms "cryptocontracts 0.9" instead of "bitcoin 2.0", "fuel/oil" instead of "coins", "drilling" instead of "mining"? Is this something you'd like to integrate into the literature?

Great, thanks Adam, and thank you for your original contributions to blockchain tech that laid the foundation to make Bitcoin (and the first blockchain) possible.

What will be the financial incentive for someone to create a sidechain, as opposed to an independent coin?

I get the feeling you may be first releasing an altcoin with sidechain tech, and that this is not necessarily about bitcoin. Can you put this concern to rest?

@digitalmagus I would say a big difference now is that money moves quickly with crypto, and without banks' say-so. This makes real-world incentives possible where they were not before in the same way.
