We actually agree on more than you'd think. Privacy by default — yes. Miners back in nodes — yes. Better miner incentives — absolutely.

But here's the thing — Taproot actually moves Bitcoin toward some of those goals. Taproot makes every transaction look the same on chain, whether it's single-sig, multisig, Lightning channel open, or a complex contract. That IS privacy by default at the protocol level.

Roll it all back and you're asking people in Argentina with 100%+ inflation to wait for a perfect chain that may never come, while the imperfect one is already helping them preserve their savings today.

Perfect is the enemy of good. The tools aren't finished, but they're working right now for people who can't afford to wait.
