Bitcoin is a protocol. Protocols should be:

Secure;
Backwards compatible;
Forward compatible;
and agreed by consensus

For Bitcoin, these properties are particularly important.

The fourth one is important not just because Bitcoin is a payment network,
but because more eyes on code creates security. More eyes on code may help
protocol design.

Taproot is good.
Sapio proposal is good.

Let’s work together for constructive, positive, secure, and forward
compatible upgrades to Bitcoin.
