It sounds like a good idea, but I think once you get into the details it’s just the same thing with more steps, except worse.

Specific transactions existing on chain is what happens when a wallet signs a transaction, and that message is broadcast with enough fee to get incorporated.

If you can hack the wallet, you can make the super secret and secure thing do the thing. What did we just do then.. we separated a successful hack (or leak) of the wallet from the action by a set amount of time? We presumably have hardware control of the super secret and secure thing, so there’s no reason we need bitcoin’s time chain to accomplish this - we can use local hardware.

Further, dismissing new technology is actually a vital part of not wasting resources.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t spend a few minutes realizing the above, but I don’t see any hint of power-monopolizing potential of some Bitcoin controlled logic that would create some huge first mover advantage. If nothing is at stake from ignoring it, then we absolutely should ignore it to focus on stuff with stakes.

Saying we can’t just dismiss tech (and thereby invoking AI take off, nukes, the machine gun, drones, etc. in the minds of the listeners - which are all technologies which were actually power monopolizing) isn’t enough in of an argument in this case, making it as far as I can tell an initially exciting but actually disappointing distraction.
