No, I don’t want Monero. Monero is a shitcoin. I want to copy Monero’s code and use it to transact my Bitcoin, while L1 secures the 21 million.

yeah, drivechains will do it but is a hardfork needed for implementing drivechains?
No, drivechain is just a soft fork. There are people threatening to refuse the BIP300 upgrade, which is fine. But if there is another update to Bitcoin Core that doesn’t include drivechain (in an effort to remove them) this new fork would break the longest timechain, so it would be a hard fork. I worry there will be a propaganda campaign that the hard fork is the "real Bitcoin" like the Bitcoin Cashers tried.
sorry i still dont get the second part. why there will be a hard fork? if BIP300 is not implemented next update there will be a hard fork? who is doing this? where i can read about it?
ok now i got what you are saying if it isnt released as a softfork others will release it in a hardfork and we get big confusion
Let’s say BIP300 is activated via MASF, people start using sidechains, and the blocks are mined. The Bitcoin timechain continues. If another group says they have a version of Bitcoin Core that doesn’t have drivechain, but it does have something like CTV, then that is a hard fork. It is no longer compatible with the longest timechain, because it is not backwards compatible with BIP300.
couldnt you make the same argument with how segwit got activated?
SegWit was different. The big blockers had a hard fork and both were being mined at the same time. The hard fork wasn’t backwards compatible, so older nodes couldn’t validate the blocks. When SegWit activated, it had the acceptance of both updated nodes, and the legacy nodes that refused to upgrade. So it did not break the timechain at all.
so CTV is a hardfork?

the longest chain is not always the right chain. otherwise forced MASFs could happen
No not at all. CTV is a proposed soft fork. I’m saying if there is a version of Bitcoin Core that has CTV, but doesn’t have TapRoot, that would be a hard fork because it’s not backwards compatible with the timechain.
