Glad to see the new LNHANCE proposal be mentioned in the latest Optech Newsletter which combines CTV + CSFS + InternalKey. The perfect set of building blocks for the next bitcoin upgrade:

Great conversation on Covenant use cases with Steven Roose on Stephan Livera's podcast. However I really don't think we need TXHASH as it would bring further delays to getting Covenants into bitcoin. CTV + InternalKey + CSFS is ready right now in the LNHANCE pull requests available on core, bitcoin-inquisition and mutintynet. IMO TXHASH has only served to complicate and delay the covenants conversation.

This is epic. LNHANCE now has PRs waiting for review on core, bitcoin-inquisition and now mutnitynet! Bitcoin developers let's get those comments flowing!

Exciting CTV Development: LNHANCE just became more viable than APO due to requiring 8vB less than APO to do LN-Symmetry.

Congrats to all the plebs that got into bitcoin before Wall Street and are still holding.

I remember a time when we welcomed attacks on bitcoin.

It's becoming clear that the vast majority against activating CTV are non-developers. Take that for what you will.

In @Carman 's latest post called "Rethinking Lightning" he iterates how both lightning and bitcoin can scale self custody with covenants:

Let's activate CTV.

One day space in a bitcoin block will be one of the most precious commodities on earth. As such costs will have to dramatically increase from the present to be included in one of these blocks. This tell us 2 things. 1. We need to continuously increase the tx density per block. 2. Inscriptions will die down significantly in the coming years as fees increase.

Stop worrying about short term fee pressure and start worrying about long term centralization pressure.

The world decided it wants small blocks on bitcoin and that's fine. It just means we have to continuously increase transaction density per block. CTV is the next step in that never ending effort.
