Interesting to see so many long time bitcoiners flush their reputations down the toilet right before a massive bull run

Who we talking bout? What'd I miss?
All of them ๐
Lopp, Todd, and Shinobi for starters
Yeah, stay humble stack sats thrown out the window for VC money. Terrible greed
Yes sacrifice is needed to pump
Bull market tradition
The clowns will always appear in these moments.
Are you referring to the OP_RETURN silliness? Storm in a teacup IMO. I am slightly in favour of removing the limitation on it. Solely to disincentivize miner centralization. But I am all for people running knots if they feel differently. And knots can benefit from more attention and more than one maintainer.
Remember, this is NOT a consensus rule change.
Kill your heroes
I'm out of my depth for the most part but, when noble devs I've know for years get banned from github, things are afoot.
Stay frosty. There's a lot of money at stake.

You know why bear markets are called bear markets? Because the rallies are so amazing and so much more impressive than bull runs, that everyone piles everything in, only to get their faces ripped off.
Are we in a BTC bull or bear market? I have no fucking idea myself. And that is probably the best position to be in regarding any market.
Belief will kill you. So will fundamentals. I know because I learned that myself the hard way.
Maybe they pooched their reputations, maybe they didn't. Only time will tell.
You meant it
I have seen a number of people I actually respect now openly supporting core. I slept on this and realized I might have jumped to one side of the OP Return debate faster than necessary.
The debate has been framed by the knots team as Bitcoin being transformed into a platform by adding more non-financial uses to the blockchain. After 15 years of watching non-financial shitcoins trend towards zero with no practical uses cases emerging from the carnage I have absolutely no desire to add that functionality to Bitcoin.
However, it is possible that I am missing something so I'm going to ask a few questions for clarification if anyone wants to offer a response.
FYI I have no interest in debating with salty keyboard warriors. Please take a deep breath before posting. I just want to read the positions.
1. Is there a technical reason why the code needs to be altered now?
2. Who stands to benefit the most from OP Return space increasing?
3. Outside of BRC tokens and Inscriptions, what proposals are in place use of the added OP return space?

At the end of the day I'm not going to get upset about this, but my understanding will determine how and when I upgrade my node software. These discussions are valuable for bitcoin and will make it stronger in the long run. Much love ๐๐งก
just another cycle.
Bitcoiners bailing? Perfect setup for the next surge greed fuels freedom's fire. โ๏ธ
