Honestly, I'm still struggling with Bitcoin soft fork proposals. I believe we will end up with full introspection: there are too many things people want to build which require it.

But most current proposals are workarounds for current limitations, which will become vestigial when/if we actually fix things. They may be simply unused, or worse, not quite useful. And it's hard to know: if we had restored script and introspection, we could see what people build and then go "ah, this opcode would make this more efficient!", but without that we are guessing.

So I really have to figure out if mevil is real. Serious people have concerns, esp nostr:nprofile1qqsr6tj32zrfn7v0pu4aheaytdnnc6rluepq73ndc2tdjzus34gat9qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhswulwwv, so they need serious consideration. If I can convince myself it is either not an issue or independent of script power, then I can reasonably purpose what Bitcoin would look like with maximal expressive power.

After that, I can look *backwards* and see if any subsets of that power make sense as stepping stones. I initially thought CTV (well, a more straightforward variant) made sense, as a common case, but brief discussions with Jonas Nick have me questioning whether it actually is still useful with full introspection (or, more clearly, what the right form would be).

As an aside: I think sponsors (done optimally) are necessary for any Bitcoin high-fee future. Feels like a side-quest though!

Sorry I don't have answers. This stuff is *not* simple, the details are critical, and some of our best minds from previous eras are absent :(

You guys are gigabrains but anything that helps people worry less about wrench attacks seems like a perennial good. Personally I don’t think about innovation or cheaper exchange withdrawals I just want another tool for HODL. If that’s a specific OP CODE so be it.

But add approving a strategic reserve for extra profit. True, Shitcoining at its finest.

Agree, why wouldn’t you just buy the real thing not the fake thing. Probably because you want to flip it back to fiat.

Currently eBaying any unused items to buy more sats. Marie Kondo x Satoshi strategy.

When I first got into Bitcoin and people would say Satoshi discovered Bitcoin it made no sense to me.

Eventually I understood that Bitcoin’s design captures some unique natural dynamics and makes them available to us in a digital form.

Is zap.stream a separate app to something like Damus or Primal? How do I get access to the client #asknostr
