The devs don’t want you to know, but fees are still 1-2sat/vb and you can just use onchain txs.

In hindsight, segwit and taproot were extremely hasty and probably even unnecessary. Fees would probably still be fine without them and right now instead of this opreturn bs, we could have spent the last 10 years working with what we had and dialing in an even better soft fork, which may not have even been necessary at all.

I believe segwit was necessary to fix transaction malleability, which was needed to enable the lightning network

That’s the common claim. However, if I understand correctly, I heard recently that segwit wasn’t entirely necessarily for a second layer like LN. It would just work differently without segwit.
