You don't have to accept my reasoning but i's appreciate if you at least tried to refute it 1) OP_RETURN is literally the fastest thing to verify and the cheapest to store. If anything heavy abuse of OP_RETURN would be less harmful to node requirements than any of the common workarounds and even regular monetary scripts. So the original claim that BIP110 is needed here to "improve node performance" doesn't apply. 2)"

"No. You're conflating two different metrics. Your chart shows UTXO set size (GB) but the more relevant metric for evaluating the op return policy change is UTXO count since the ENTIRE point was to discourage creating new UTXOs for data embedding. When looking at actual UTXO count you can see the growth that was explosive through 2023-2024 has clearly plateaued and shows signs of stabilization/slight decline in recent months and that's EXACTLY what the policy change aimed to achieve to incentivize data embedders to use op return (no UTXO created) instead of inscription methods (UTXO created)"

"The limit was removed based on a simple economic premise: beyond a certain size OP_RETURN is no longer the cheapest way to embed data. If cheaper alternatives exist rational actors will gravitate toward them. That means any potential abuse remains naturally bounded by incentives rather than artificial thresholds. And that's exactly what the data shows. As @ajtowns' recent analysis demonstrated OP_RETURN usage did not spike. It represents roughly 0.0016% of transactions - statistically negligible. No explosion. No flood. Just normal fee-driven behavior. If the prediction was that "removing the"
