Any thoughts on BTC’s smart contract platform.

I read a couple of articles about it, including this one for those who haven’t heard of RSK. The project imo looks to be legit as it has been under development for sometime now.

I ask just for thoughts on whether this is something to look out for. Is it another throw away project? Can it challenge Ethereum and hamper Cardano growth? Questions like these, I would like to know the communities thoughts on this.
