Can you give us an update on Schnorr, Taproot, Graftroot, MAST, and script validation? [Note: This summary is from December.]

CORRECTION: While he was quoting Rusty Russell, the post I mentioned at 0:14 was written by another Bitcoin Core contributor, Anthony Towns.
What are your thoughts on privacy and fungibility in Bitcoin? We shouldn’t only want privacy when it is too late. Stagnation in this area may be worse than reckless experimentation. Will people sacrifice privacy for good user experience? There is a difference between George Orwell’s and Aldous Huxley’s versions of totalitarianism. As long as we have the ability to opt-out, laziness is a luxury you have when they’re not shooting at you.
These questions are from the December Patreon Q&A session, and the community event at Paseo la Plaza in Buenos Aires, Argentina (https://antonopoulos.com/event/buenos-aires-event/), which took place on December 15th 2018 and January 29th 2019 respectively.

Great advice, but I see you have a fb page.. 'Why you compromise my privacy?'
laziness is a luxury you have when they are not shooting at you! – Andreas Antonopoulos https://youtu.be/4GoPRNFr2YQ?t=775
one byte for segwit script # – so, what happens after version 255?
"its not that I have anything to hide, I just don't have anything I want you to see". BE SAFE PEOPLE. Never reveal your identity to anyone or anything online. Never use your real name on FaceBook or Google. Always use prepaid credit cards purchased with cash if you need to buy anything online. Never fill out DMV forms, medical or car insurance, job applications or anything online. Read all privacy statements, and terms of use before doing any business with anyone. Never let yourself be photographed and tagged with your real name. Privacy is fleeting, The more you give in, the less freedoms you'll have. Fight for you constitutional rights to travel freely without having to pay anything for "Real ID", drivers license etc. Millions of gallons of blood was spilled for your freedom, don't let it slip away!
why one does not simply implement mimblewimble sidechain on BTC
Great Video!
Amazing as always, Andreas the man! very inspiring, our duty is to keep the door open and it will swallow all other options eventually.
Do you have an idea of when you'll sit down with Rogan next? Appreciate all of the knowledge my man.
All human behaviour in modern times is controlled by a "hierarchy" of 5 MYTHS! Myth 1. RELIGION ( belief in someone's version of right and wrong, good and bad – with "Fear Narrative" Do the right thing and you will be rewarded in some mythical place and you will be punished if you stop believing) – Then, as people questioned this "Blind Faith" system, it was immediately backed up with the second myth in the hierarchy; Myth 2. LAW – As faith failed to control people, force was used to get people to comply. Myth 3. MONEY for food and to pay those enforcing the law (false trust) and spreading religious nonsense. Myth 4. "THE NATION STATE" wrap people in a flag and tell them the "others" (Wrapped in other flags with different religion, laws and who (usually) "want your stuff" and change the way you live (Liberty threat) are "coming to get you". so you need to fight for your "rights" (which we also invented). This required the 5th Myth – OWNERSHIP; How can a human own a piece of a 4.5 billion year old planet that no one has any "right" to above any other? If I take something from you by force is it mine? Historical conquests and even as far back to when we were forager hunters 200 000 years ago (which we were for 93% of our existence remember!) does not mean we "own" the land and can pass it on for generations because someone won a battle for some king or leader? How stupid! Says who? MYTHS! all of it.
(Quite brilliant, BUT, it's only as real as we choose to make it, we invented it, we can end it

Interesting shoe choice.
I DIG THAT AIR PURIFYING PLANT. I must get one because the air is so poisonous with all that bear feces toxins from the bear market.
Thank you Andreas. Great stuff like always.
Andreas, you are to me the most trusted and inspiring voice in the crypto space. Please keep doing what you do.
Litecoin @satoshilite said confidential transactions will be implemented soon like Segwit was. If Litecoin implements this, will Bitcoin follow?
I lke the idea of a multiverse – In a universe you need a huge block size to please all those zombies.
That was perfect description. It would be nearly impossible to win over "facebook coin" in developed countries when they are more or less stable, but atleast now you have an exit from that corrupted system if you wish/need. You are not the first that realized the huge appeal of things like facebook coin in developed countries, i heard that recently from Charles Hoskinson also. You both are very smart people with big impact.
Excellent, simply excellent!
This was a great one, Andreas. Very glad to hear that privacy is going to improve for Bitcoin users. And it seems true that a subtle, unnoticed infringement can be more dangerous in the long-term than a loud, in-your-face attempt at domination, which tends to make its own costs apparent and people can at least see the problem. Ordinary betrayal is scary but it's also mundane; far more terrifying is betrayal that you can't see.
I would like to buy you a beer one day but I'm not sure if you're a drinker. Cheers
Thanks, Sir.
