Drivechains On Bitcoin?

In this video, I discuss the debate surrounding drivechains (BIPs 300 and 301), as well as how I think we should think about the possible unintended consequences of making changes to Bitcoin's code.
Bitcoin is really, really difficult to change; and this is a feature, rather than a bug.
If Bitcoin were easy to change, any government, central bank, or other attacker could swoop in, make changes, and castrate Bitcoin. Fortunately, they cannot.
The Bitcoin ecosystem is still in the process of absorbing the implications of the last two soft forks (Segwit, Taproot), so it's far too early to be talking about another soft fork anytime soon.
Let's revisit this drivechains discussion in 10 years from now. In the meantime, Paul Sztorc is welcome to try out his new ideas on a low-value chain like LTC or BCH.
