📰 "Bitcoin Great Divide: The OP_RETURN War" by NM Team
A silent civil war is raging inside the Bitcoin network, pitting developer against developer and node against node. At stake is Bitcoin's very soul: is it digital gold, or a global data ledger? The battlefield is a single line of code called OP_RETURN, and the fallout could reshape the network forever. Read on for latest developments!
I keep wondering where this saga will end, unfortunately, too many people in the sidelines...
The image is actually thoughtful and funny :)
This is not going to end well, no matter what happens
This needs more attention, glad you guys wrote about it
That is a good summary, love the comparison table.
I find this so absurd, hard for me to understand why they can not find a solution in the best interest of the community as a whole.
Love the image, :)
Transactions might price out data eventually, but what damage can be done in the meantime?
Good article.

Why does it need to be an either-or?
Have to use my nostr account to read... have to read later, on browser ext. Will zap if good...
I think a hard fork is likely in this situation. The result would be two different blockchains: Bitcoin Data (Bitcoin Core) and Bitcoin Money (Bitcoin Knots). Each of them would have a clearly defined role, keeping both of them relatively "pure". A lot of problems would arise from such a split, but it does make sense.
If we wanted everything to be located on a single blockchain, we would probably all end up on Ethereum PoW or something similar.
