Am I only the one who feels like we don’t have to touch and change #bitcoin protocol constantly ?!
Discussion

What have we changed since taproot? Did I miss something?
I’m saying in general. Now we gotta do the CTV soft fork to make lightning scalable
Now as in today, or as in we see if we can build consensus about adding it in the near to mid future?
Maybe some better ideas will be in the future idk. But messing around and flooding bitcoin with soft forks doesn’t worth it. Just my 5 cents
In general, I agree. However, I would hardly call 1 potential soft fork every few years "flooding." Most folks seem to agree that Bitcoin needs some form of covenants at some point, though. Moreover, nothing requires us to settle on which of the proposed options we want to try and activate any time soon, but we absolutely SHOULD talk about all of the options well in advance - their pros and cons, those with the expertise to review the code, etc.
That being the case, I would hardly call the covenants discussion "flooding" Bitcoin with soft forks. We've had Taproot all the way back in 2021 and now we are in the process of discussing maybe adding covenants sometime in the future.
I'm with Tuur and Adam Back on this one; only need one standard for layer 1 and ossification of layer 1 is good. But pluralist for layer 2 and want to see all types of different options from lightning to fedi to liquid and more.
I think change works both ways
no. I think the same
