What are your thoughts on Drivechain and associated BIPs?

This article compares Liquid and Lightning:=C2=A0https://blog.liquid.net/si=
x-differences-between-liquid-and-lightning/. Two things from it that I am i=
nterested in while evaluating Drivechain:

1.Trust model
2.On-Ramps and Off-Ramps

Other things:

1.Security of Bitcoin (Layer 1)
2.Bitcoin transactions and fees expected on layer 1 because of Drivechain

Similarities and Differences between RSK and Ethereum:=C2=A0https://medium.=
com/iovlabs-innovation-stories/similarities-and-differences-between-rsk-and=
-ethereum-e480655eff37

Paul Sztorc had mentioned few things about fees in this video:=C2=A0https:/=
/youtu.be/oga8Pwbq9M0?t=3D481=C2=A0I am interested to know same for LN, Liq=
uid and Rootstock as well so asked a question on Bitcoin Stackexchange toda=
y:=C2=A0https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/109466/bitcoin-transact=
ions-associated-with-layer-2-projects

Two critiques are mentioned here:=C2=A0https://www.drivechain.info/peer-rev=
iew/peer-review-new/=C2=A0with lot of names. I don't agree with everything =
mentioned on project website although any comments on technical things that=
 can help Bitcoin and Bitcoin projects will be great.

Why discuss here and not on Twitter?

1.Twitter is not the best place for such discussions. There are some intere=
sting threads but Its mostly used for followers, likes, retweets etc. and p=
eople can write anything for it.
2.Avoid misinformation, controversies etc.=C2=A0

My personal opinion:

We should encourage sidechain projects. I don't know much about Drivechain =
to form a strong opinion but concept looks good which can help in making be=
tter sidechains.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------------------------------------------


The website used in the slides of above YouTube video is misleading for few=
 reasons:

1.Blocks mined everyday (in MB) for Bitcoin is ~150 MB. It is ~600 MB for E=
thereum. Block limits for Bitcoin is ~4 MB per 10 minutes and ~500 MB for E=
thereum. If full nodes will be run by few organizations on AWS we can basic=
ally do everything on chain. However the main goal isn't too make money and=
 create an illusion to do something innovative, primary goal was/is decentr=
alized network that allows settlement of payments.

2.Bitcoin uses UTXO model while Ethereum uses Account model. Basic differen=
ce in transactions for two is explained in an article=C2=A0https://coinmetr=
ics.io/on-data-and-certainty/. Irony is the website in the slides for scree=
nshot is using Coinmetrics API and this misleading website is even shared b=
y Coinmetrics team on Twitter. So in some cases you are doing more transact=
ions, paying more fees for work which could have been done with less. Ineff=
iciency.

3.Failed transactions paying fees on Ethereum everyday, no such transaction=
s on Bitcoin.

4.Other improvements that affect fees: Segwit, Layer 2, Batching, UTXO cons=
olidation, Fee estimation, Coin selection, Exchanges, Wallets etc.
