Can someone help me understand why they think it's a good idea to soft fork bitcoin every few years, introducing cool new tech but also the risk of unintended consequences (or consequences intended only by bad actors)?
Doesn't seem worth it to me. What are we on pace for, 25+ soft forks over the next century? Does that sound like a good idea? What could go wrong?
