Did you know that the main reason Bitcoin Core removed the OP_RETURN limit was to help @citrea_xyz use BitVM to allow Ethereum-style smart contracts on Bitcoin?
Citrea’s biggest funder is the same guy who co-founded Palantir…
Do you know what Palantir does?
I see

I don't want that.
It's dishonest.
Fuck em.
For real? WT?
You cannot make money obsolete. Read this again.
Fuck Citrea. Why is it that Alpen Labs are doing something very similar in nature and can keep everything under the 80 bytes limit? This tells me that Citrea is just a cover up
Antoine refer citrea as “Bitcoin user”, and node runners as “Bitcoin enthusiasts”
Gross
i just said the other day that this core shit must be being instigated by shitcoiners.
i didn't expect it to be palantir backed shitcoiners but i suspected spooks, or at least corporate spook action.

Imagine rolling with the tap root wizards their people all have ethereum pfps and hot wallets filled with shitcoins lol
no. that's bs.
citrea doesn't need a change to operate, it was core that wants citrea to use OP_RETURN instead of alternatives. where the f you people been the past year? certainly not paying attention.
i love a good conspiracy btw, especially with Thiel and palantir, but this is just dumb.
So Balajis just “donated” $500k to a for-profit company?
idk anything about that part. i'm talking about the idea that core is doing any change because citrea "asked for it" or "needs it".
that's complete nonsense technically speaking. and i also remember how that conversation went.
Okay but Antoine did say he did it because of Citrea…

yes. core asked citrea a favor not the other way around.
the reason is core has such an abysmally bad design, that bloating the UTXO set really degrades the performance of core nodes at a certain cut off point depending on the amount of RAM in the system.
so core is like "this is dumb! pretty please just use OP_RETURN!"
to this citrea said "sure, if at least 51% of the miners run the new relay policy, we will use it."
You are telling me that for years there has been a problem with bloating the UTXO set and then one day Antoine meets the founder of Citrea and is like “omg that’s bad we can just fix it by standardizing large op_return” And then everybody else at Core is like omg brilliant!
the two are probably related. core always tried to prevent UTXO set bloat, because it fucks up their architecture. they were not even particularly worried about citrea i think. they were worried about other new protocols copying heir example much more prolifically.
