Still angry at Core and the red flags still stand btw"

"IMO the issue isn't whether uncapping OP_RETURN technically reduces one specific workaround. It's that Core with that change announces a clear philosophical shift away from the long-standing stance that Bitcoin is money first and keep it as simple/unfuckable as possible not lower friction for non-monetary payloads just because a grifting minority already found ways to do it anyways. The old default policy (80 bytes) was a clear signal: "this isn't a subsidized database." Changing it in v30 normalizes and standardizes non-money use in the reference implementation. That's not neutral harm"

"IMO the issue isn't whether uncapping OP_RETURN technically reduces one specific workaround. It's that Core with that change announces a clear philosophical shift away from the long-standing stance that Bitcoin is money first and keep it as simple/unfuckable as possible not lower friction for non-monetary payloads just because a grifting minority already found ways to do it anyways. The old default policy (80 bytes) was a clear signal: "this isn't a subsidized database." Changing it in v30 normalizes and standardizes non-money use in the reference implementation. That's not neutral harm"

"@adam3us This whole thing started (and very predictably)with core arrogantly pushing a very controversial change so weird to use the consensus argument. I know the people pushing for it are principled and well meaning bitcoiners so calling them a lynch mob is also not precise or fair"

"None of what you say gets rid of the fact that v30 sparked a VERY PREDICTABLE and UNPRECEDENTED immune reaction among node runners plebs and principled bitcoiners. It should never have been merged until AFTER this was adequately explained and understood if it is really is so rational. This places the responsibily for the current predicament FIRMLY on Core"

"Bitcoin Core's stated standard: controversial changes require "rough consensus." Ava Chow (December 2023): "If it is controversial then we don't touch it." Gloria Zhao (June 2025): Merges the controversial OP_RETURN uncap anyway. Ava Chow (Later 2025): Rejects PR #34214 to restore limits because the debate is "settled." Where do you stand right now Where do you stand right now"

"Apart from the coretard and rogue shitcoiner part I support this message. Core can bridge the divide and solve this mess by recognizing that the OP_RETURN uncap was a mistake. Coretards have the ability to make this division go away if they just stop and realize that a rogue shitcoiner fucked with our beloved Bitcoin without broad consensus. They can start by removing v30 from their available downloads. This would be a start.

"@stephanlivera You are saying a firm response wasn't expected when such controversy is pushed through I would have been amazed if there was no reaction like BIP-110 resulting from Core's behavior. It's almost like you're new here with these takes"
