There is plenty of innovation going on in bitcoin space. Schnorr signatures, MAST, lightning, client efficiency improvements.

Yup. Also Confidential transactions, mimblewimble, sidechains, drivechains,... even bigger blocks. People forget that bigger blocks could come to BTC too, but devs are making the safe choice to try scaling with ways they know won’t compromise security or decentralization first.

People have had cheaper alternatives to Bitcoin for a while now (ETH? LTC?) and yet BTC is still valued significantly higher. There’s more to this game than a cheap digital payment.
