Alyse Killeen mic drop at Bitcoin 2021
I agree in general, however Taproot and the Schnoor signatures implementation would theoretically allow more lightweight and sophisticated smart contract code on the blockchain while while increasing the TPS rate and lowering the cost. Taproot consensus (https://taprootactivation.com/) seems to be leaning toward accepting the soft fork so more varied smart contract code on Bitcoin's blockchain may be available sooner than later.

Taproot miner signal status
There are several small mining pools that have not signaled for Taproot in any of their blocks. Collectively, these pools produce approximately 4.77% of all blocks. Of these pools, only SpiderPool has explicitly expressed their support for Taproot via off-chain channels (see https://taprootactivation.com/).

Binance Pool (4.8% hashpower). They gave their support for Taproot back in 2020. Now they're playing games. Luckily the game ended in massive "yeses" that they should support taproot (the question is: who are the 20% of people who voted no??).

Arguably, the Bitcoin scalability efforts have been progressing too slowly. Second generation blockchain designs such as Ethereum and Avalanche are going to dethrone Bitcoin at some point.
