This will reduce the pressure on the main chain.
yeah while helping those that made the chain, to milk the initial amount of coins, and be magically early adopter, to dump later this is the real definition of quick buck scam, that was running in the alt section for year, d we really need to repeat it another time, in disguise? There is no such thing as "initial coins" Seeing how dumb what you just said is I'm guessing you are speaking from experience when referring to scams. the coins that will be issued when you launch a sidechain, should be the same as any altcoin, but they are worthless they create you a numbers of coins(tokesn), when you send bitcoin to those chains i imagine that some chain could begin with some of those coins already ready, a sort of premining Exactly, so in the case of Liquid, units on the sidechains only get created if there is a BTC collateral. As such, any coin on the Liquid sidechain is worth its exact equivalent in Bitcoin. So how exactly do you propose this creates an opportunity for "early adopters" to "milk the initial amount of coins"? then they were spreading false info, because i've read about that here, from a forum member, maybe he was an heater if this how they actually work, then i'm fine with them

It isn't something new that sidechains enable.

Moreover it needs to be mentioned that only the amount of Bitcoin that was moved to the sidechain can be moved back to the mainchain therefore this carries no inflationary risk for Bitcoin itself. Exchanges are generally not transparent as it is already so Liquid certainly does not make the problem worst.

Exactly, so in the case of Liquid, units on the sidechains only get created if there is a BTC collateral. As such, any coin on the Liquid sidechain is worth its exact equivalent in Bitcoin.
So how exactly do you propose this creates an opportunity for "early adopters" to "milk the initial amount of coins"?
Correct. I believe the right term is "two way peg". A lost of people don't understand it or think they do but they don't. This is what is causing misconception. This does not benefit anyone unfairly when talking about "early adopters" or whatever. Actually if this properly works there should be minor disadvantages or none.

Tried to find good point from side chain, but give up after saw this : "paying an undisclosed monthly subscription fee" Not transparent, centralized & have to pay monthly subscription fee. Why should we use it, unless if we really need to send bitcoin instanly?
It's good solution to fix long waiting time, but i hope it could be more transparent & cheap
Is it so hard to understand this product is not addressed to consumers and regular users!?

Look, if you don't understand sidechains I suggest you go read about them and come back once you've got the basics down. The monetary base of Bitcoin cannot be inflated by sidechains. The difference with gold is that you can cryptographically verify Bitcoin reserves.

well, we have to assume the exchanges are using it because they choose to. No one is forcing them. Perhaps its easier to settle than using Bitcoin. Maybe they find it less cluttering and easier to manage than the main chain. I have no problem with it as long as people have a choice and its not used to justify keeping blocksize limited.

Altcoins are usually created under the pretense of offering an important or desirable feature not possible under Bitcoin. With sidechains it will eventually be possible to offer these features without having to bootstrap a new currency. Different sidechains will compete on the marketplace and those that leverage Bitcoin's scarcity and liquidity will come out as obvious winners against altcoins offering the same features but using a new, inflationary currency. Consider two sidechains that offers the same feature: privacy. Any sane person will prefer the one that recognizes the existing value of their holdings and does not require them to speculate on a new, volatile, currency.

By letting the blocks getting bloated which will gives incentives for businesses to move to their lucrative centralized solutions. Liquid being the first of many. Liquid is an alternative to the already-centralized private databases of the exchanges. The block size has nothing to do with it at all.
