Bitcoin Script: Concentrate on the Fundamentals, Not the Distractions

The fascinating realm of Bitcoin’s development owes much of its progress to the foundational elements supported by Bitcoin Script. When we talk about “primitives,” we’re referring to the fundamental components that make up a programming language, enabling developers to construct real-world applications. No programming language is crafted with the intention of creating just one specific program. Instead, it’s built to support basic operations like mathematical calculations, data structuring, and the manipulation of data, giving developers the tools needed to bring their ideas to life.

Developers are given the creative freedom to use these basic primitives to design applications that can suit various needs. The focus isn’t on dictating exact uses but ensuring the language’s core elements don’t lead to unintentional failures or negative impacts on end users. It’s not about locking developers into doing only A, B, and C, while barring X, Y, and Z — it’s about understanding the objectives behind what they build.

Bitcoin Script, in essence, operates like any other programming language, though it introduces unique aspects. Unlike general computer applications, Bitcoin incorporates a blockchain where every action must be fully verified across all full nodes. This system is fortified by financial incentives that maintain balance. Beyond these considerations, Script provides the necessary primitives for developers to create useful applications without compromising user safety.

The conversation around introducing covenants, or new primitives through soft forks, often misses the mark in public discourse. The real issue isn’t what might be built using Script, but how these new constructs affect the core system. Vital questions revolve around the costs and incentives associated with base layer operations. For example, how might these costs be constrained, and what is the implication for miner extractable value (MEV)?

It’s crucial to scrutinize these possibilities without getting sidetracked by every potential application. Verification costs and complexity at the base layer can be managed. Importantly, any new primitives should be weighed against existing capabilities, ensuring they enhance the trust model of current systems without negatively impacting system incentives. If they achieve this balance, they don’t pose additional risks.

Ultimately, the focus must shift to what genuinely matters: enhancing functionality without harming the end user. Public debates often veer into whether certain user actions should be restricted, losing sight of the core issue — the real objective should be creating value safely. We need discussions grounded in the essentials, rather than chasing elusive and distant concerns.

Remember, this is just one perspective, and the views shared here don’t necessarily represent the positions of BTC Inc or Bitcoin Magazine.
