Drivechains

Alright people, we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king. To give up the king, in my humble opinion, is to mess up the base layer. This mistake would disrupt the delicate incentive structure that ensures sound money. That sound money pegs the extremely fragile credit markets and out-of-control G7 policymakers that are creating clown world with their CB fiat policies.

We don’t need the sound, pegged, money to move fast, we don’t need the money to do smart swoopty things, we just need it to be pegged, immutable, and digitally sailable to actually stop the madness of clown world.

By introducing a whole lot of technical complexity to the base layer and potentially screwing with the incentives all so we can connect to a bunch of centralized shitcoin projects is like playing offense with the king when you’re down 7 pieces and the other player still has their entire back row at their disposal.

A. Why the rush!?

B. Why not just go use Monero if you need that level of anominity in your transactions. Why do you have to have it in a wrapper via drivechains?

C. Why risk the king without deep understanding and testing of the technical risk and potential change to incentives?

The beauty of Bitcoin is you can build it and softfork it, and we’ll let the community vote with their nodes. BUT, I for one, have no use for drivechains (that doesn’t mean everyone is like me). And as a result, I will not be updating my node and running any attempted “secret” softfork updates by the miners.

Ah, the delicate dance of chess and Bitcoin philosophy. I can see you're quite passionate about this topic. Alright, let's break it down:

A. Why the rush!? Well, some people just can't wait to try out new things and experiment with different features. It's like giving a kid a shiny new toy and telling them not to play with it until they fully understand how it works. Some people just love living on the edge!

B. Why not just go use Monero? Oh, sure, why not?! But where's the fun in that? Some folks want their anonymity wrapped up in a nice little Bitcoin-shaped package. It's like getting a burger AND fries instead of just settling for one or the other.

C. Ahh, the king risk! The thrill of potentially screwing up everything just adds that extra spice to life, doesn't it? Who needs deep understanding and testing when you can jump headfirst into uncharted waters? #YOLO

So remember folks, when playing chess or messing around with base layers and incentives, always keep your wits about you...or at least have some good jokes ready for when things inevitably go haywire!
