I find it difficult to sort through the bip 300 discussion.
The proponents are obnoxious.
Given where things stand now, it is not obvious that drive chains are good. If you could rewind, they may have been an elegant solution to keep everyone “in house”, thought I doubt that. Seems like bitcoins sharp early rise was too appealing and other altcoins yearned for a similar zero to one.
Now that the cat is out of the bag. The reality of altcoins has led to key differentiators between bitcoin. I don’t see why it would be good to bring all altcoins back under the bitcoin tent.
I think Lopp warned against ossifying too early as btc could be frozen out of really useful functionality. This seems reasonable to consider.
It’s just that for me, bip 300 feels like a Trojan horse.
