🗒️ Conversation Summary: A proposal has been made to reserve a canonical example of future segwit addresses to exercise wallets supporting bech32m without interfering with future soft forks. However, sending funds to future segwit versions may be risky as most exchanges won't enable it. Updating to new versions should be easy and popular open source libraries should support it.
