So, a couple things about the #Boltz situation.

First, I think is overall good that people are thinking so adversarily about it.

And as far as I can tell, services like Boltz are absolutely integral to scaling Bitcoin as close to the base layer as possible.

But until we have proof of shenanigans, I am going to cautiously watch to see if the people stepping in to run the project have good or bad intentions.

Finally, I am going to predict that either Samson Mow and/or #Jan3 and possibly #BullBitcoin / Francis Pouliot will be the people picking this up. Their business was built on it and they have the vision for it. Plus, they probably have the financial backing to be able to run it on the level it will need to be run.

I believe that will seal the deal for some people that this is rigged, but personally I trust those Bitcoiners who have shown over many years that they want to build bitcoin the right way.

And yes, I used the word trust.
