I&= #39;m proposing re-writing bitcoin codebase in Python for improving=20 pre and post merging abilities, faster operations and better=20 understandability. Python is a fast language with C support, it is good=20 with hashing things, it has a good syntax and everyone can read /=C2=A0=20 understand it unlike C++.

I am willing the coordin= ate the transformation operation and i believe it would be really good the = get rid of C++.
