"🧵9/16 100kb OP_RETURN creates new legal attack surfaces (see $BSV). storing files/images is no longer deemed an abuse or hack but is explicitly encouraged. this creates liability or at least makes a legal defense much harder"

"@Excellion @NickSzabo4 @adam3us @satflation @jabulanijakes @BitMEXResearch that makes sense. but shielding them from the consequences of their actions isn't really helping them to learn from their mistakes. of course we all make mistakes. we need (to let) reality to educate us or we'll repeat them"

"@crashmanperkins @CBDS0 @janrothen @NickSzabo4 @LeeroyBitcoins @phyrooo @lorandimecs @Excellion @_jonasschnelli_ @adam3us not addressed in the thread I linked: the difference between email and bitcoin nodes is that nodes cannot delete blocks from the blockchain. they must reside on the node forever (ignoring pruning which cripples the node imo). for the threat see"

"@JoeCarlasare it doesn't need to "kill" bitcoin. just redirect it from replacing the world's base monetary layer yesterday bitcoin was "only used by criminals" tomorrow it's "a sea of eternally stored illegal images". try defending that"

"@OrangutanElder examples L1 cannot scale to world wide daily use at reasonable tx cost and speed. L2's (ex Lightning L-BTC) have trade-offs but add privacy speed & low-cost while pegging in/out of L1 bitcoin. maybe neither is the winner but bitcoin would survive their failure"

"@OrangutanElder thx for the chat btw time will tell but neither $KAS nor any other crypto can do the needful. blockdag is cool but the tech isn't the issue either bitcoin succeeds or the whole cryptocurrency sector remains a novelty (likely an illegal one)"
