This irresistable desire some people have to mess with the thing just blows my mind. My only explanation is that the kind of people who want to mess with a perfectly functional network just don't have any bitcoin in their stack and are therefore more interested in "iNnoVat1on" than they are protecting the hardest money ever created. Bitcoin, in it's current form, solves the problem of the hard money. Messing with it in an attempt to make it do other shit, like parlor tricks, is nothing but risk and adds no significant value. Innovation in Bitcoin is nothing more than an attack on a perfectly functional network. If it aint broken, don't fix it. Simple wisdom but so few people actually understand it.
