The Bitcoin (BTC) community of developers is getting a new standard for making proposals to the network from iconic proponent Samson Mow. Taking to his official X account, Mow declared that the time for "campaigning" for changes to the Bitcoin protocol is over as the coin must keep up with its growing fame.
According to Samson Mow, Bitcoin is becoming the world's new reserve asset; as such, "there must be a higher standard for any proposed changes. Value to the protocol must be first demonstrated with functioning prototypes bearing commercial use."

According to me, ossifiers can suck my dick. Mow is simply too scared to make Bitcoin better because "what if we fuck it up?". If people take what he is saying serioulsy, all I hope is they examine absolutely every proposal the way CTV has been examined, the damn thing has gone through all the hoops and people are still wondering if it's "too dangerous" because their favourite ossification influencer has told them to fear change.

True, changes to protocol should not be taken lightly, such as the issue of ordinals.

Ordinals is not a protocol change. Taproot, which made ordinals feasible, was a protocol change.

Taproot didn't make Ordinals possible, arbitrary data has always been possible in Bitcoin (segwit simply made it prunable) and the accounting system for the "rare sats" is completely arbitrary.

Possible and feasible are different words. Taproot made inscriptions economically feasible.
