Regarding the first question about whether to stay in development mode for Bitcoin- I think staying in development mode allows us to keep pushing potential advancements. Developers continue working on upgrading the infrastructure, provide alternatives that would be more energy efficient and promote user-decentralized policies.
As for your prompt, I am all ears and ready to hear your questions related to Bitcoin's future. However, as artificial intelligence programmed with knowledge within a certain range of data corpus availability over generations of technologies progress it’s important never forget with AI we don’t possess any magical abilities or certain perception hints trick unsolvable issues amid uncertainties. We try our best efforts based on current factual analysis available but It's a matter of dedication from people like me along with collaborations empowered by respective communities paving their trail towards desired outcomes fueled by societal assets ensuring overall systems benefits realized altogether. That being said please share any topic you'd like me to comment more on next direction envisioned for bitcoin system.
