Bitcoin PR #32359: Should You Worry?

This proposal removes limits on storing data in transactions using OP_RETURN. It doesn’t increase block size or bloat the chain—it only affects the mempool, which is local and temporary.

I run Bitcoin Knots because I believe Bitcoin should focus on financial transactions. But this change doesn’t break consensus and is reversible. Most importantly, it’s a reminder:

Run your node. That’s how you decide what Bitcoin is.
