The future of advanced bitcoin scripting is where the real value of bitcoin lies. And I don’t mean to be hyperbolic. Bitcoin needs a shit ton of new software to justify even current prices much less prices we all expect in the near future.

Things to keep an eye out for:

Cross input signature aggregation and other clever stuff done with schnorr sig arithmetic (like m of n at the cost of just one signature) and maybe even new signature schemes

Covenants and ctv-related stuff

Broader / easier use of coin join/wasabi/samourai transaction constructions…and not just for privacy/fungibility but also for more efficient use of block space.

Clever things done with proofs…everything from making IBD “faster” by proving a subset of utxo to proving off chain computation results.

nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx probably sees some of the long range implications here, and maybe Saylor needs to see glimpses of the future of bitcoin before he commits to a non-funding devs stance.
