The dominance of centralized exchanges in early crypto wasn’t accidental or irrational. It was a practical response to real constraints, technical, commercial, and user experience constraints that the alternatives of the time couldn’t adequately address. Early crypto users needed somewhere to convert assets, discover prices, and execute trades with reasonable reliability. Centralized exchanges provided all of this in a familiar package, an interface that looked and worked roughly like a traditional brokerage, custody handled by the platform, and liquidity sufficient for the asset range that existed at the time. For users coming from traditional finance, the mental model translated. For…

In Pieter Wuille’s recent answer (Why BIP-342 replaced CHECKMULTISIG with a new opcode), BIP-342’s intentional minimal semantic changes stem from the expectation that it “can always be introduced via a recent softfork that redefines OP_SUCCESS.” I would like to know the details of this reservation. Were certain opcode candidates (e.g. CHECKSIGFROMSTACK, CAT, TXHASH) already on the radar when the OP_SUCCESS position was assigned? Or was the assignment purely abstract? Was it “reserve space for unknown future use”? Has there been any discussion about additional classes (self-checking opcodes, signature variants, hash operations) that may or may not be candidates for an…
