Matt, according to your profile you have only been into #bitcoin since 2020. Not trying to be rude here but had you been around during block wars you may have a different stance. Making changes to bitcoin’s code is serious and risky. I question anyone who supports any change to the code for any reason other than that there is a serious security threat. My intuition tells me anyone supporting and/or pushing a change for #drivechains are doing so for personal incentives or agendas. People need to stop trying to mess with the code….

For me it’s scalability and privacy that bitcoin lacks.

To me I was always of the belief that these features would be added to bitcoin eventually at least that was a narrative by bitcoiners a few years ago.

When someone says btc should not change then I get the feeling. They are saying just use ETH or Monero instead. Btc layer twos should replace the need of these altcoins. I don’t like these the way these coins were created at all.

I agree what makes btc unique is the fact it’s difficult to change. But if we want bitcoin to scale to 8 billion users then we need to make small changes. Bip300 would be the last ever change needed to bitcoin to ossification imo.

This is just my opinion. Everyone has their own desires of what they want bitcoin to be. This is just my take.

I appreciate you responding. I’ve been in #bitcoin for quite a while and can tell you I’ve heard the same arguments you are making over and over again. Either you just haven’t spent enough time learning about bitcoin or you’re a shitcoiner at heart. May sound harsh but I have enough experience to recognize and smell inexperience and #shitcoin minded and irresponsibly risky incentives

Call me a shitcoiner then. It’s ad hominem attack rather than actually addressing how btc scales. Beecause atm there really is no solution other than some CTV bip119 which was quickly rejected leading to a Jeremy Rubin rage quitting bitcoin lol.

Scaling doesn’t belong to the #Bitcoin maxis’ lexicon.
