We were told Taproot was important and necessary and had to be approved urgently and to not stand the way of progress. Now we have to live with it. Eventually these shitcoins will die off, but it won’t happen overnight.

Taproot has been one of the worst decisions ever made in Bitcoin.

It’s supposed to have all these privacy upgrades, but we should have never allowed smart contact support to be included.

The problem is the discount that the witness segment has with respect to the rest of the block, approximately 75%.

I see it as a good idea to increase the space to be able to execute more complex contracts, but that they pay the same as the rest.

Taproot is a soft-fork which means you can run your node without it and not validate taproot transactions. I'm thinking about doing it temporarily because taproot adoption is mostly ordinals as of now.
