This is an awesome program, looking forward to this year's alumni!

In your opinion what is a mission critical problem that you would like to see addressed with or without an op code?

Ik you mentioned utxo ownership as one of your concerns before.

Do you think there is any soft fork currently that would be worth while or worth exploring or are you pro ossification?

In this post, you just mention that OP_CTV will be used for Ethereum like contracts, but you don't specify why that doesn't makes Bitcoin not used as money and instead for centralized applications.

Vaults, Congestion control, and efficient DLC's can be done in a self-custodial manner, which is enabled by OP_CTV, so I'm confused where that generalization is coming from. There may be SOME applications that are centralized but without OP_CTV, they WILL be built in a centralized manner because they cannot build it any other way.

Care to explain?

They might be worried in general and would rather ossify than do something that may make sense

What would you say the objection to the BIP is?

Yea I feel like cluster mempool isn't easy to understand and I didn't get it for a while. I agree it's really cool but optimizing isnt super sexy or cool like smart contracting or consensus changes so I understand why people are not too excited by it.

But I'm excited and I guess that's all that matter 😂

Thank you :)

I agree imagine being a policy maker and your constituents create the bill for you and open a PR for you to review

Yea that'd be a good idea someone should get on it

even the financial tool to sell all your Bitcoin for fiat?

/s

I remember hearing that kids in El Salvador we're getting sats and using a lightning ATM machine to get coins and vice versa

Would be awesome to get more kids involved since they'll be the ones really needing to know how to use this stuff

Tbh tho number of commits doesn't really mean anything if they all suck haha

It's time to activate CTV
