High fee environment so far has mostly benefitted miners, orditards, custodial solutions and a wide range of new "L2" musig with different marketing flavors
While I believe custodial solutions might offer marginal value, not pushing for better scaling solutions is betraying Bitcoin ethos
Custodial solutions are not scaling solutions since users are not using Bitcoin natively (UTXO ownership)
That's why projects like Utreexo or future covenants can scale Bitcoin to millions of people in a sovereign fashion without counterparty/legal risks. Let's not gatekeep scalability on Bitcoin unless we want a Bitcoin KYC elite ✌️
With that said, here's my shill:
