Could Schnorr signatures be the puzzle piece that eliminates a major limitation on the costs and ease of privacy at Bitcoin’s base layer, while at the same time, incentivizing a robust fee market, and enabling a wide range of more dynamic smart contracts? The next soft fork in Bitcoin could be the most exciting and significant change that Bitcoin ever sees. You don’t want to miss this great piece by Lucas Nuzzi covering the ins and outs of Schnorr signatures and how it will change the game for Bitcoin privacy.

For the first time, we can have property that does not rely on a local authority to enforce and protect. It is easy to conceal, defend, divide, move, and verify — all by yourself, granting you the highest level of personal sovereignty.” @Hasu & @suzhu
