Welcome to Covenants 102, with a focus on CTV still. In this thread I’ll walk through three clear use cases, impossible without covenants. Each improve bitcoin significantly for the average user. We’ll build up our understanding for the last, most powerful one: payment trees.

Welcome to Covenants 101, with a focus on CTV. What are they? Is this an attack on bitcoin? Can the government lock up all our coins? Without an accurate mental model of what's actually going on, it's hard to reason on what they can and can't do. So let's walk through it. 📩👇

Hey @cz_binance , is now really a good time to be mass consolidating UTXOs, given users are panicking and on multiple bank runs? Considering Binance also overpay @ 13.5sat/vbyte when the mempool would otherwise be much calmer (& cheaper)? Speculative attack?

@LynAldenContact I committed accidental chart crime on my previous reply. As an honest actor in the pursuit of truth I would never do so intentionally so here is the corrected version. $3.1t outlays = $2t receipts PLUS $1.1t unilaterally borrowed from your children.

@NgoloTesla Very interesting when you combine it with recent research - cells arrange themselves to build bodies according to an electrical template in 3D space, its origin unknown. This phenomenon may be imaging it, and showing it existing independent of the cells.

@profstonge @JasonPLowery @ryanrakich Your point is interesting but ultimately you’re better than this Peter. Read the man’s work before critiquing.

Addresses are built from the spending conditions YOU want for YOUR coins. You have a key, you define a lock that it opens, that IS your address. Coins (UTXOs) sent to the address must be unlocked to be spent. You defined the lock, you decide what opens it, nobody else.

@raycivkit This is a permissionless planetary database secured by the largest amount of energy directed at one system ever in the history of our species. Using it to send $33 is like delivering pizza with Apollo 11. We definitely have more work to do but give users realistic expectations.
