A good look into how this has been a multi-year attack on Bitcoin with crafty and sneaky individuals purposely supporting other use cases of Bitcoin instead of just the financial transactions. Of course now the mask has come off and they’re exposing themselves and their true intentions to allow interests to take control of Bitcoin. And it’s a nefarious attack on node runners and small miners, as they won’t fix the way ordinals are exploiting their bug and filling up the UTXO database, while the OP_RETURN limit blow out will also allow a lot of SPAM and congestion with Bitcoin transactions.
In this video, I discuss Bitcoin Core’s “original sin,” which involved changing the documentation for datacarriersize, and then using that changed documentation to reject Luke Dashjr’s patch for inscriptions spam. Viewed in this context, the recent forced changes to OP_RETURN data limits take on a new, more sinister aspect. Everyone involved with changing this Core documentation needs to be defunded and no longer allowed to work on Core.
