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 💜🧡
