OP_CAT doesn&#39;t uniquely enable anything more, its just a scripting proposal that enables covenants and lots of other stuff.&#xA;&#xA;Current bitcoin is moving towards custodians as scaling solutions which is the opposite of what we should be doing. Covenants are a good option for trying to scale this and OP_CAT is probably the most general covenant we could get.&#xA;&#xA;OP_CAT was removed from bitcoin because there was no limits on it, that could have caused DoS vulnerabilites. Bringing it back with a limit (or with GSR) would be great imo. I don&#39;t think bitcoin would be dead if satoshi instead added a limit to OP_CAT instead of disabling it.</html></oembed>
