I take issue with this. I view the word "rational" to mean basically
logical. Someone is rational if they advocate for things that are best for
them. Two humans are not the same people. They have di

I agree. Its certainly convenient for development speed to limit the number

we're going to have to
Happy to hear that the BIP draft is already useful and thank you, Laolu, for

CTV and other covenant proposals, tradeoffs, and overlapping features are among
the topics being explored recently. I had some views and questions on this
subject.:
a) Does bitcoin already have opcodes with overlapping features? Yes
b) Can we have multiple ways with some overlapping features to

remains the same. This is not so bad. I think a bad actor will usually want
to *add* (or remove) something that breaks. I don't know if the boycott of
new proposals is as effective in breaking Bitcoin. It means th

Back in the 2017 block size wars I brought up the idea [0] of using
