Bitcoin's base protocol is never going to change, it's become a fundamentalist faith.

While I agree, it's not impossible. MimbleWimble has proven itself on Litecoin and it was implemented (I believe) using a soft fork. So just as Ordinals was forced on the maxis, MimbleWimble can be forced on the maxis as a payment channel if the demand is there. Note, MimbleWimble isn't as private as Monero, and the fact that it's possible to know when something goes into and out of MimbleWimble may make you targeted as a "money launderer" makes it risky. But at least its a step forward.

They don't care because they are paid off by banksters to keep bitcoin useless as money.

Edward Snowden,

I've been warning Bitcoin developers for ten years that privacy needs to be provided for at the protocol level. This is the final warning. The clock is ticking.
