People keep asking why Bitcoin core are increasing the OP_RETURN limit from 80 bytes to 100,000 bytes with a consensus ceiling of 4 MB and deprecating the -datacarriersize config.

The answer’s simple.

When you’re funded by the likes of Bitmain, Butfury, BTCC, Blockstream etc. all of whom profit from higher fees, either directly or indirectly, the motivation becomes crystal clear. 💵

Core’s been compromised. The rot started with taproot and the greed’s only grown since.

One shocking scenario could be the IRS seizing personal wallets, effectively freezing Bitcoin for mixing coins and obfuscating proof of origin in an audit.

I don’t see many people discussing the negatives associated with mixing. In fact, some exchanges these days won’t touch them as Bitcoin overcomes regulatory hurdles.

Why Bitcoin and Crypto are NOT the same *for the uninitiated*

Unlike Bitcoin, 99.9% of all Crypto is pre-mined or created out of thin air with huge percentages locked up for the creators, devs and team members. TRUMP coin is the latest example.
They are often aggressively marketed and pumped while the creators cash out.

This has occurred historically and shockingly with some of the biggest crypto tokens to ever exist - Litecoin, XRP, Ethereum, Cardano… and more.

Take XRP for example:

Brad Garlinghouse Garlinghouse misrepresented his financial interest in XRP by claiming to be "very, very long XRP" while simultaneously selling millions of XRP coins.

Both Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen rug pulled, dumping 1.5 billion in XRP from the escrow accounts at a discount on the speculative markets.

This is crypto in a nutshell.

So should crypto form part of a federal strategic reserve? Absolutely not.
Crypto foundations are formed on lies, deceit and grifting all done by a handful of degenerates with the aim of getting out and getting rich.

Now go and research Bitcoin to understand its unique properties as a decentralized, digital currency with a fixed supply, and how these attributes make it fundamentally different from crypto and traditional money.

Given Elon Musk’s connection to the Meme Coin / shitcoin Doge, I find it pathetic that he came up with ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ or “DOGE” for short.

Pump and dump is in full swing at the highest level.

#Bitcoin only.
