Can someone explain why the US needs to bail out Argentina? I honestly don’t get it. What happened to “America First”? Why not let Javier Milei reconcile his own issues? Then who else will expect a bailout when their currency is in trouble. I see many more consequences than

Friendly reminder… this is Sage Adam Back on Bitcoin. Adam Back at peak performance. Old Adam Back would have called bullshit on these proposed changes and non-fixes. Or he never believed what he said in 2021. Which is it?

My take away from this debate is, all it takes is money and greed to buy a change to Bitcoin Core against consensus that can introduce an attack vector to the block chain. Censorship is wrong, but so is blocking my ability to not repeat what I don’t agree with. Removing my control of my node filters is censorship. I want the control that Knots provides and v30 stole from me. Follow the money! Why did Core force this controversial change??? Run Knots

Ladies and gentlemen, this person is one of the maintainers of a Bitcoin implementation that is used by 80% of node runners. Hopefully this number will fall quickly given how she is tolerating the cancer that NTF's are. Switch to @BitcoinKnots.

Who is Bitcoin Core's largest contributor? Chaincode Labs. Balaji Srinivasan, co-founder of Palintir, and one of Citrea 's founders, funneled $500,000 through Chaincode Labs to spur development. In return, Bitcoin Core has identified Citrea as the Schelling point for the removal of OPRETURN limits. Who is behind Citrea? People like Eric Wall aka Taproot Wizards. Jameson Lopp. Peter Thiel. Mike Novagratz (remember Luna?), Erik Vorhees, and a numerous cast of Bitcoin Maxis (JK, no Bitcoin Maxis here). What does Citrea want to do? Create an Ethereum Virtual Machine with Ethereum like smart contract using ZK rollups. I'm glad Core is so committed to building on Bitcoin.

This was the argument used to reject @LukeDashjr's pr to fix datacarrier size to apply to new methods of carrying data. Now, despite 21% of the network rebelling, they say 'It would set a bad precedent if we let controversy direct development.' Make it make sense.

@leo_haf @ChrisMartl @fanquake @hhebasto @glozow If it is controversial, then we don't touch it. If it is controversial, then someone else thinks that not merging it is critical for the longevity of the network. The default state is the status quo. If you want to make a change, you must convince everyone that it is a good idea

@giacomozucco @jimmysong Bitcoin has arbitrary data in it and isn't dead therefore arbitrary data cannot kill Bitcoin. Bitcoin has spam filters but some spam ended up in the blockchain therefore spam filters do not work. On and on it goes. Why can't people make the effort to see through these

Correct! The spammers have to pay a fee to the miners to spam. Get rid of filters and spam is free.

@BitcoinMonk21 filters work for miners ofc. the spam problem is most miners participate in the spam industry to collect extra fees.

Knots = 2.6% was obviously not true. Those who immediately pushed this such as @callebtc and @adam3us must be completely disconnected from the shift that's happening.

My Two Sats on Core vs Knots Debacle I don’t give three shits about your cute little encrypted love letters meant for some future boyfriend. I don’t care about your AI-generated “art” that you think is so profound it needs to live forever on-chain. What I do care about is energy. My energy. My daughter’s energy. My granddaughter’s energy. Energy that should not be wasted so some nerd can immortalize a doodle in the blockchain. I care about escaping the rat race now. I care about my daughter not being forced to trade 40, 60, 80 hours a week to survive in a system that bleeds her dry. I care about keeping Bitcoin pure uncorrupted so it can do what it was created to do: ✔ Store value ✔ Move money peer-to-peer ✔ Protect and compound human energy Bitcoin is not your scrapbook. It’s not your vanity project. It’s the only shot we have at reclaiming time, freedom, and a future worth living. Mess with that, and you’re not just wasting block space, you’re wasting generations.

Very disappointed @WalkerAmerica Of all the people deceived I never would have thought it would be you. I’m sad.

Hello @bitcoincoreorg, We live Bitcoin. We dedicate our lives to it, full time, nonstop. On the ground, we work as part of Bitcoin’s invisible team, often without salaries, simply because we believe in its power to fix money and defend society from injustice and authoritarianism. Bitcoin is beautiful. But it can also become fragile, outdated, or even corrupted, if we do not care for it with the seriousness it deserves. The white paper begins with the words: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System.” Not a decentralized database. That distinction matters. Developers must lower their time preference and think in terms of centuries, not release cycles. Bitcoin is a cash system designed for global adoption in commerce. That was Satoshi’s vision. Originally, in 2014 Bitcoin Core introduced OP_RETURN with a 40-byte limit. In 2015 this was raised to 80 bytes, and in 2016 clarified as an 83-byte script length. For nearly a decade the rule stayed unchanged. Then, in 2024 with Core v29, the policy was relaxed to allow multiple OP_RETURN outputs per transaction, although each remained capped at 80 bytes. Now, with Core v30 (2025), the long-standing cap itself has been removed entirely: OP_RETURN outputs are no longer bound to 80 bytes, and multiple OP_RETURNs per transaction are allowed, bounded only by general transaction-weight (~100,000 vbytes) and block-weight (4 MB) limits. This is extremely risky. By first allowing multiple OP_RETURNs (v29) and now eliminating the explicit size cap (v30), Core normalizes and facilitates behavior that was once discouraged. It opens the door to spam, bloat, and malicious use cases. It allows attackers to inject unwanted or even illegal content directly on-chain, potentially exposing node operators to liability. Users should have the freedom to filter what they host, but Core should not encourage practices that turn Bitcoin into a data-storage network. Yes, arbitrary data can already be forced onto the blockchain in different ways. But these policy changes transform a fringe misuse into a legitimized practice, encouraging precisely the kind of abuse that poses systemic risks. A public-opinion crisis, triggered by toxic or illegal content, could cause catastrophic damage to adoption and market confidence. Bitcoin is money. Just as you can scribble a short note on a banknote but not publish a book on it, Bitcoin transactions can carry limited messages but should not be hijacked for unrelated purposes. If protocol development drifts toward use cases that weaken Bitcoin as cash, the consequences will be severe. The network is already signaling concern: voices like @BitcoinKnots resonate because Bitcoiners are smart, technical, and willing to act when needed to protect the network. We have already built important advancements to secure Bitcoin’s long-term future. Let us not undo this progress. Let us stay true to the vision: Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
