Hi James,
I'll let readers decide for themselves whether your citation of that data w=
as intended to justify the content of the sentence that immediately followe=
d.
Thanks for the script. It is consistent with the numbers that Murch and I c=
ited. This is equivalent to picking 90-day as the moving average on 0xb10c'=
s website[^0]. Again, a quick glance at this graph gives a pretty good indi=
cation of the direction of Taproot adoption. The share of created outputs (=
by value) went from 1.6% a year ago to 6.7% today.
We all wish Bitcoin users adopted the latest technology faster than they do=
, but this is probably only going to get slower as Bitcoin matures. And the=
trend from the past year gives some reason to be optimistic.
In any case, none of this is a reason to incentivize users to stay on older=
versions of the scripting context by going out of our way to also enable n=
ew features there. If anything the slight nudge to upgrade to Taproot shoul=
d be seen as a good thing.
Best,
Antoine

In any case, none of this is a reason to incentivize users to stay on older=
versions of the scripting context by going out of our way to also enable n=
