Wholeheartedly agree with you alicexbt. There are no technical issues that
have been shown that I'm aware of. Once the non-technical folks have time
to discuss it and realize that, I'm hopeful things will move forward.
Perhaps we can learn from this and figure out how to better catch the
attention of the larger bitcoin community  for important changes without
alarming them.

 deliberately intended to deceive. A combination of &#39;misleading&#39; an=
d &#39;information&#39;. Here are a few examples and I am sure I missed a l=
ot of others but its difficult for me to keep a track of everything:<br>
<br>
<br>
1) Sapio is open source and everything mentioned in tweet is false: <a href=

" target=3D"_blank">https://nitter.net/s3cp256k1/status/1521238634111770624=
</a><br>
<br>
3) Andreas Antonopoulos shared false things about CTV and explained by Ryan=
 in this email: <a href=3D"https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitc=

<br>
6) Social media influencers like Peter McCormack tweeted they don&#39;t und=
erstand BIP 119 but its an attack (this was even retweeted by developers li=

I am not surprised by your email but it would be better if the people who a=

&gt; &gt; Note: This email is an opinion and not an attack on bitcoin<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Covenants on bitcoin will eventually be implemented with a soft f=
ork. CTV is the easiest and best possible way OP_TX looks good as well. Apa=
rt from the technical merits, covenants will improve a few other things:<br=
>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; - Developers can build interesting projects with real demand in m=
arket.<br>
&gt; &gt; - Students learn Sapio and not just solidity.<br>
&gt; &gt; - Better tooling could be available for application developers.<b=
r>
&gt; &gt; - Maybe we see bitcoin developer hackathons in different countrie=
s.<br>
&gt; &gt; - Demand for block space might increase, it wont be just exchange=
s and coinjoin.<br>
&gt; &gt; - Funding of bitcoin developers and projects might improve. Wont =
need to convince a few people for grants.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; **Why covenants are not contentious?**<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; Some people may write paragraphs about CTV being contentious, spr=
ead misinformation and do all types of drama, politics etc. on social media=
 but there are zero technical NACKs for CTV. We have discussed other covena=
nt proposals in detail on mailing list and IRC meetings with an open minded=
 approach.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; All the developers that participated in the discussion are either=
 okay with CTV or OP_TX or covenants in general.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; **How and when should covenants be implemented in Bitcoin?**<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I don&#39;t think we should wait for years anticipating a proposa=
l that everyone will agree on or argue for years to pretend changes are har=
d in Bitcoin. We should improve the review process for soft fork BIPs and s=
hare honest opinions with agreement, disagreement on technical merits.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; I prefer BIP 8 or improved BIP 8 for soft fork but I won&#39;t mi=
nd anything else being used if that improves Bitcoin. Covenants implemented=
 in Bitcoin before the next cycle would provide opportunity for developers =
to build interesting things during the bear market. Ossification supporters=
 also believe there is some window that will close soon, maybe doing change=
s considering each case individually will be a better approach. CTV is not =
a rushed soft fork, less people followed the research and it was not mentio=
ned on social media repeatedly by the respected developers like other soft =
forks.<br>
