Bitcoin Core Developer: BIP 444 Has a High Probability of Success

ChainCatcher reported that Luke Dashjr, the Bitcoin Core developer known for his anti-ordinal stance, believes that the probability of BIP 444 succeeding is very high, although there may be some confusion in the early stages. He stated that opponents would need to perform a reverse fork and split the chain to reject it, and it is unlikely that many people would do such a drastic thing.

In addition, Luke Dashjr said that claims such as freezing someone's BTC are just FUD about BIP 444, and there is no reason to believe that real coins would be affected. Mempool developer mononaut, however, expressed opposition and listed examples where some real coins could be frozen by BIP 444, such as certain simple financial use cases using OP_IF in Tapscript.
