Preston, with all due respect, if you dont know the difference between a soft and hard fork, i dont see any point in you weighin on such technical topics, you dont know what you are talking about.(but everyone is free to share their opinion ofc) That being said i absolutely agree with you on this point. Dont do shit that fucks up bitcoin, and make stupid trade-offs, but this is a very nuanced thing. Not sure you know, but bitcoin looked way different a few years ago it changed quite a bit. Some of those changes bought risk and complexity, but also allowed us to do a lot of interesting things. FWIW SegWit was such a change, but it payed of, we fixed maleability enabled LN and other stuffs. I am not 100% sure drivechains is the best thing, but also i dont have a hate them, but non-technical arguments, dont really convience me. These kind of remarks just sound like whataboutisms(its a thing). Also nodes do not vote, that is technically incorrect.

Those "interesting things" turned out to be collective screeching from redditards and twitter when some folx decided to use segwit/taproot to "do a little magic" having understood the ramifications far better than those that signaled for taproot. View quoted note →

Check out the drive chains site, or layer two labs for technical explanations. It's very interesting. It solve a problem you (we) don't even know we have yet.
