Frankly, I am not convinced that I trust anyone fucking around with the thing I use as the denominator in of value in my life. I don’t have the ability to audit proposed changes so my nodes answer is hell no unless and until I see broad consensus, compelling arguments and even then I think changes should only be made in dire situations where the existing network is under threat. Bitcoin is a sound money virus infecting aging and sick Fiat to make way for something better and new. That is SO much more important than “features”. Use Lightning, ECash, Fedimint, or make something new, but don’t fuck with the base layer.
When the dollar was founded, there was no Venmo, no SWIFT, no FedWire or MasterCard. As the value of Bitcoin expands (which happens because it’s is the one predictable thing in a world of bullshit) new users will emerge and demand new features and entrepreneurs will rise to the task.
I guess what I’m saying is I don’t know who you are but I don’t trust that you’re smart enough and benevolent enough to trust with the job that you’re asking for. So no thank you, from my node to yours.
