To reiterate, Bitcoin is now as Turing Complete as any other chain, and this requires zero changes to Bitcoin.
It’s become a canon maxi talking point that Turing Complete = Bad. This is silly for a number of reasons.
Firstly nothing in our reality will ever be TRULY Turing

And there it is, virtually unlimited runtime “scripts” on Bitcoin. Achieved via constructing fraud-proofable Boolean circuits in Taproot. In theory circuits can have up to 2^128 gates.

It doesn’t have a screen. The entire purpose of a hardware wallet is to have a secure display with which to confirm address and amounts. I maintain this is a colossally bad idea and someone is going to get fired over it.

I’m telling you, everyone wants this they just don’t know it yet. Human-computable cryptography is going to be the hotness within a decade or so.
Sound ON (Unless you're a shitcoiner, then leave the sound off)
This set of 3 mirrored Codex32 computers uses ancient technology to securely create bitcoin seeds entirely offline.
The perfect tool for the self-sovereign bitcoiner.
