Sorry, the TL;DR wasn’t based on your message but my own. I was summarizing my reply. I should have labeled it “Summary” instead.

I remain confident that decentralizing Bitcoin by making more efficient use of block space will make it more valuable than it would be otherwise.

If we do nothing, roughly 10-20 million people can hold keys on chain. Everyone else will have to use some kind of trust-based layer on top. 10-20 million is still way better than the status quo (banking), but increasing the number of people with keys is even better, IMO.

Bitcoin will scale with custodians regardless of your new opcodes. Hal explained this to you in 2010.

It's not "better" if you add new opcodes that ultimately break the network because of unintended consequences.

Bitcoin is feature complete. Working as intended. Does not need any new opcodes.
