You are wrong about rollups
summary
Central claim: rollup transactions are simply Bitcoin L1 transactions — a rollup is an opt‑in subset of Bitcoin consensus whose full nodes are Bitcoin full nodes, so sequencers, provers or bridges are optional. Gives three concrete examples: a federated/BitVM bridge rollup, a bridgeless rollup, and a rollup without bridge or sequencer; shows how all three advance state by indexing Bitcoin transactions. Introduces a practical liquid test for bridge security and argues the bridge is auxiliary, while force‑inclusion is the missing primitive.
