i outright reject there is any use for taproot assets. the sooner bitcoiners realise that blockstream is an enemy of bitcoin the better. it's a clearinghouse, a settlement layer. distributed database systems without clear ownership just put the cost of storage on users who gain no benefit from it. it's a violation of Earth law in my Pentalogue rule system (based on chinese Wu Xing 5 element model). there is no real purpose for it. that's why p2spkh is my solution. deprecate (delete is not literal, it just means don't propagate taproot transactions) taproot, deprecate segwit and legacy, and move to p2spkh and musig2 for all transactions.
there is no use for data storage on bitcoin. anchoring is perfectly fine, op_return with 80 bytes is plenty for anchoring, you can plant a timestamp, hash, and still have another 16 bytes to spare.
when you put data on chain, you are having your data storage bill paid for by people who gain no share in the profit you make from whatever business model or scam associated with the data. there is no use in it. and taproot assets are useless. they are straight up shitcoins. they aren't satisfied enough with liquid that runs assets like an ethereum chain tuned for just arbitrary tokens. they have to poison bitcoin with the actual token data as well, instead of just anchoring teh chain.
if their ability to secure their system is inadequate, that cost should not be paid by node runners. the problem with bitcoin now is this normalization of ethereumization of bitcoin. but what point is there? is there something wrong with ethereum and solana and polkadot and avalanche? and if there is, is that OUR problem?

do you think that at least BIP110 is a good interim foothold to gain momentum for a bigger change like this taproot removal?
basically, BIP110 will show that the smaller change has the ground support, and then we can make the bigger lift in a year?
it seems like it took a couple years of Kratter/Mechanic/Luke banging the drum just to make people pay attention.
so a taproot removal would take another year of banging the drum.
