I don't have a medium account. Is the article about high quality of Soviet kettles?

As an American who makes tea in the microwave, I feel disparaged.
>Omni is a completely different blockchain than BTC.

This is plain false. It says so in big letters, right at the top of their website:

https://www.omnilayer.org/

>That's what powers the Tether network.

Tether has issued tokens on the Omni protocol, Ethereum, and other networks. The blockchains and amounts are listed here:

>Bitcoin script is far too limiting to build expansive applications on.

My original point was that weak smart contract features on Bitcoin motivated Ethereum's creation (Vitalik's name is on the Colored Coins whitepaper). This is in contrast to GGP's proposition that Ethereum had underrated novelty.

The EVM is a natural extension of bitcoin's scripting system. Here's the original Ethereum whitepaper, Vitalik cites all sorts of pre-Ethereum work:

There were tokens (Colored Coins) and Dexs (Omni) running on Bitcoin before ETH was launched.
