I honestly hope I’m wrong about Core V30. Maybe, everyone interacting with the bitcoin blockchain will in fact be a good actor for the rest of humanity.

But, it only takes one sick fuck to put something illegal on every bitcoin node across the entire world.

There is already questionable content on the blockchain. If Bitcoin was centralized and everyone with minimum hardware couldn’t run a node, this would have been used as an excuse to shut it down. But as you know, Bitcoin cannot be shutdown.

Having an entire image of child pornography in a single op return is not the same as the questionable content currently on the blockchain.

As it currently stands, one has to be aware of the arbitrary data and use software to string the data together to make sense of it. That is not at all the same as uploading an entire image in a single op return, which V30 enables.

Are you saying the current size doesn't allow the size of a full picture? Would only images be a concern or other media as well for the 1000+ time proposed size increase?

It does not.

I’m also worried about military secrets being uploaded. That would be a great way to make bitcoin illegal. The truth is we don’t know what we don’t know.

Opening up the floodgates to anything and everything is a horrible idea.

Our adherence to the rules is our strength and vulnerability at the same time. It's good to pursue decentralization with software that doesn't intend to kill you. It's good to oppose reasonable people, not hypocrites who use discussion as a distraction to kill you. It's great to argue with those who move with you towards a common goal and light your common path with you, not lead you off this path into thick and dark forests to kill you. Oil and water never mix. Bitcoin_core has shown its true colors. Better find other opponents, unless we are suicidal. And let bitcoin_core mate with each other and build their own world far away from us. God bless them and fuck them.
