Mr. Weber: How are you? Hope grand. What in the world to do about point three. Came to you about this earlier. The dog does not need the drama. Let me know what you think.

Taproot should lead to a massive improvement in the privacy of the lightning network.

bullshit

I'm not familiar with taproot in-depth but I also don't see it as significantly related to privacy. There's enough research out there to make bitcoin networks very, very anonymous, in ways that are normalised and maintainable and simplify the codebase. Software was different before 2014, and that shows in the design of lightning. The bitcoin devs got split into factions etc. It's recorded history. There's been a lot of excitement over the lightning network in some groups of people. Who uses it? What is it used for, in the wild? Anyway, it's cool to see that bitcoin's dev process has found ways to continue innovating and it seems to be building on that more and more.
