My technical limits in bitcoin are at the edge of running a node and sending and receiving bitcoin on chain. Past that I’m still learning.

With that as background, I thought I’d share this post because it’s roughly what my understanding is.

For a new pleb dad like me no one has clearly explained why a 1000x bigger op_return makes bitcoin better, more robust, more anti-fragile, for my kids (and their kids). But there does seem to be a real risk of having CSAM on the blockchain, and thus my node, and in the U.S. that can get me sent to prison.

This is a genuine question. I’m curious to hear what others have to say.
