yes. exploiting the non-monetary capabilities of the scripts is a major factor in how they acquire control. they recruited the whole shitcoin crowd to do the ordinals and all that shit.
and taproot leaks the pubkey before it is spent, so that opens a large state sized attacker to steal the largest UTXOs, whether or not those were from lost keys, they will eventually break satoshi's keys, i'm pretty sure. probably the fud for that cycle (4 or 8 years down the track) will be that satoshi is the government but i would guess it will be a quantum supercomputer.
i did the math on it a few months ago and if you focus that on the biggest UTXOs, somewhere near anywhere over 8000 bitcoin (whole bitcoin lol) it's at least paid for with the ability to dump that on the market to artificially stoke the fear/hope cycle.

the speed with which i can play out all the scenarios using an LLM and drill down to the fundamental principles involved means that while they are probably going to get their de facto new USD, legitimate replacements can also be built very fast now, and if they are adopted by bitcoiners for reasons of its fixes on the vulnerabilities, the suits adopt it, and we defect. and the security of the replacement will prevent this from happening again, and if it's successful, will drain the money printer benefit from bitcoin and prevent successful monetary reset.

Are you talking about state-level attackers in this case? I think it's important to define who the enemy is in order to be able to fight it.
Is Saylor an enemy for example? Treasurey companies clearly take Bitcoin and put in a cage
