OP_CC: A simple introspection opcode to enable cheaper consolidations

Bitcoin's design includes a degree of transaction linking privacy, a feature that its users value. Critics argue that enhancing privacy may inadvertently benefit those engaged in undesirable activities by making their transactions less traceable. However, the emphasis on privacy is a core aspect of Bitcoin's appeal to many of its users. There is an ongoing debate about the balance between privacy and transparency in digital currencies. Some suggest that if privacy were not a concern for users, Bitcoin should evolve towards an account-based system. This model would potentially offer improved scalability but at the expense of anonymity, as transactions could be more easily linked to specific identities. The discussion reflects broader concerns within the cryptocurrency community regarding how to best balance efficiency and user privacy.
