Great deep dive with @npub1jg552aulj… Andrew Poelstra on why Simplicity matters. From formally provable smart contracts to covenants, vaults, and oracle integrations - Liquid is acting as Bitcoin’s test lab for a safer, more expressive future. If you want to understand how Bitcoin can evolve without losing what makes it special, this is a must-listen
