Is Taproot Uniquely Enabled?

It was always possible, but did Taproot make it easier to stuff even more data? Yeah. So if we sort of go through time, there were old school Pay to Scriptash transactions. And I don't remember the exact details, but those had a lot of very weird requirements. You could use them to store some data, but it was pretty tortured. But then SegWit came along and introduced the witness. When it introduced the witness, it gave the witness a 75% discount relative to other transaction bytes. This is for two reasons really. It was seen as desirable at the time to increase the block size. The witness data is simply cheaper relative to non-witness data
