Replying to Avatar Matt Corallo

I responded on Twitter too, but this is such a strange rant to me.

Bitcoin Core (contributor)’s current push for better mempool policy is *directly* related to multi-party UTXO ownership and scaling. It specifically substantially improves lighting in practice today, and will certainly be required for any future scaling technologies.

In the mean time, lots of folks (like James) continue to do research into how to scale Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies generally). There’s no reason to care if that happens from Bitcoin Core contributors or others, and we’re still really far from having any particularly good ideas on this front. As that research continues, there’s no reason for concrete software towards short-term soft-forks. nostr:note16h9axg7x728pt7776x4hxq5vh448xz7gszjnjxsjg7rcwue3v4ysevtlgm

I would go one step further and suggest that when someone is throwing mud and demanding action towards a specific choice, this is evidence that the choice is the wrong one. Emotion can be a signal of commitment, but a brief survey of history demonstrates it can easily be used to make people to act against their own best interests.

Good choices tend to be based on well reasoned arguments that recognize root problems and the compromises of a decision. If something is important, it's worth putting in the effort to make good decisions.
