Thanks for the thoughtful response. I also like some of those features and would love to see them implemented but I’m stuck on the idea of unintended consequences.

Bitcoin does everything I need it to at the moment and I don’t want it to devolve into something like ETH. That’s why I would prefer to exhaust all the other options first and prove out the use case on a higher layer than risk jeopardizing what we already have. I think we still have lots of room to build even if it would be easier with a fork.
