Agree that this is likely true. Those trying to create a strong sense of urgency around network updates needing to happen asap likely have an agenda.

Yep. Everyone has an agenda. The skill is in spotting it.
I’m reading this in the context of the xz backdoor. I’d love to learn how to spot folks with and without agenda.
I don’t know if this is a revenant topic but in the last year or so there were a bunch of new folks and some old ones discussing covenants. I found it strange how some rushed to go on podcasts and share opinions. Yet i guess I would otherwise not learn more about it.
Bullish on ecash protocols and the possibilities of BitVM for this reason. We should be pushing Bitcoin in its current form to the edges and seeing what is possible without changing the network.

Definitely possible. While I believe the long term fee trend is up, today it’s back to being quite low. Hopefully the spikes are the kick we need to improve, but don’t go too far and make people push for ill conceived reactionary changes without considering second or third order effects.
