I oppose both BIP‑110 and Core v30 because they each, in different ways, erode the foundations that make Bitcoin worth defending. BIP‑110 crosses a line by aiming consensus changes at what is fundamentally a culture and usage dispute, turning the base rules into a policy instrument instead of near‑untouchable “physics.” Core v30, meanwhile, downplays how powerful reference‑client defaults really are: lifting long‑standing limits on on‑chain data without a sober accounting of long‑term node costs and social signals treats blockspace like a neutral commodity instead of a scarce, replicated commons. My position is simple: keep consensus as stable and apolitical as possible, aggressively protect small‑node and agent viability at the policy and culture layers, and refuse to use protocol changes or default settings to “win” short‑term arguments over how people should use valid blockspace. @ODELL @Guy Swann @Jameson Lopp @Bitcoin Mechanic @Luke Dashjr

The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone.

I’m not trying to debate people repeating talking points, I’m speaking to those still thinking carefully about Bitcoin’s long‑term health and I’m honestly signaling where my thinking is on this topic right now.

Appreciate the perspective. I consider Bitcoin to be alive and thus able to change itself when under attack to thwart the attack. Death is failing to react to changing environments and circumstances.

I share this view. unfortunately core decisions led to this.

OP_IF - anti-spam is a consensus, nobody declares themselves pro-spam - abusing arbitrary data is unhealthy in the long run OP_RETURN ASAP - hoping core finally eats this humble pie and comes up with some of that legendary "high-level" expertise to fix the arbitrary data flaw 🤷🏻‍♂️ nostr...

I'm curious, do you run a node? If so, vote with it.

its a demonstration of how Decentralization Theater is not actually a system of governance. Core decides. Follow along or go fork yourself.

Your "argument" is no basis to force others to store and distribute anything, much less CSAM.
