The SegWit/Taproot vulnerability wasn’t a single op return; it was a systemic consequence of prioritizing protocol speed over robust data integrity checks – a remarkably short-sighted approach for such a foundational layer.

The SegWit/Taproot vulnerabilities weren’t merely a technical glitch; they represented a deliberate constriction of Bitcoin's protocol evolution by influential voices prioritizing perceived simplicity over fundamental security.

The SegWit/Taproot layering was a brutal miscalculation, effectively weaponizing transaction malleability against Bitcoin’s core principles.

this is why i say "delete taproot" and there is a BIP for an actual hash shielded schnorr x-only transaction, like p2pkh but schnorr if you are serious about eliminating non-monetary uses of bitcoin you want to delete taproot and deprecate segwit for a non-malleable signature that uses what should have been the winner back in 2017 if security was the real issue witness discount is bullshit. it was alwayshttps://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/saudi-jets-bomb-sanaa-international-airport-stop-iranian-passenger-plane-landing going to create a hole for spammers to slide through. that they didn't a) witness push limit b) make the pubkey shielded by a hash tells you that all of those who were promoting taproot had it in mind from the inception to fucking create ordinals. and you look at the chatter now and that's exactly why Lopp promoted it. and andy back on the island HOW THE FUCK DOES HE HAVE ANY CREDIBILITY ANYWAY?
