 I’m all for blind optimism. But we need to take actional steps with clear goals to make it happen.

We need more BIPs activated. Make btc an unstoppable force of nature. 
  "improvements" are the only thing that can ruin bitcoin. you better be more than fucking sure 
 No improvements to Bitcoin will have even worse unintended consequences to Bitcoin down the road. 
 The Bitcoin base layer needs no further improvements.

GFY

 
 To right, keep it simple stupid! 
 False. At the very least, this needs to be fixed.

 A big fix is not an improvement. 
 “Big fix” is nearly the definition of “an improvement.” 

It’s okay to be wrong. 🧡🫡 
 Just like “spam filtering” is not “censorship”. It’s clearly different 😂 
 I'm OK with being wrong & I'm well aware that Bitcoin requires a hard fork in the future.

A bug fix is not an improvement. 
 Did you even read about that issue? 
 Sure did. Why?

Read it again.  
 They fixed it?! 
 What do you mean by base layer ? 
 thats a weak take 
 Reducing blocksize and op_codes, ossification, and pushing them a L2 is also improvement.

Anything else, even status quo, is inviting core devs to "accidentaly make a mistake" as Will put it so candidly recently, by one day introducing something with unintended consequences that need continual patches.
