I am seeing more Drivechain chatter on Twitter. What is the latest on that? I am still very skeptical.
My opinion:
I am starting to see splits in the community you have on one side Bitcoin conservatives who almost never want to see change for the protocol and the Bitcoin liberals who want to change to make it more inclusive for people and altcoins projects. The solution is somewhere in the middle. Since this is a deep bear market discussions such as these are magnified.

Absolutely true about the division and magnification. But Bitcoin can accommodate and include all even if the participants are intolerant of one another. The demand in the market will decide..

This is why I like this space. No king makers or fake money pushing one side or another. If the majority of humans act in a manner that is best for their own self interest then we can see what ideas win out in the long run. For me I see the argument on both sides but what will humans decide as the best way forward as it comes to this protocol

You don't want your money to change all the time.
In fact, the simpler the base layer, the better. Simple means that it is not easy to make mistakes. The expansion layer maintains freedom, and anyone can display their creativity on the expansion layer. In fact, the basic layer is not always unchanged, after enough discussion and testing, it will be changed gradually. As for speculators wanting to experiment directly with everyone's bitcoins, I think it's irresponsible.

i like preston's take on it:
"we are playing a game of chess here. The one thing, the absolute one thing, we can't do is give up the king"
