#Merry Christmas🎄
🟠It's officially been 300 weeks since 2020 began. Saving $50/week in bitcoin during that time would’ve turned $15k into 0.58 BTC, now worth over $63k. Saving in gold instead would’ve yielded 7.45 oz of gold, worth just over $28k.
Bitcoin’s a superior long term savings technology.

Bitcoin is Sucking Global Capital Both if Fear and Optimism
A global capital soft war is happening right now.
Trump is trying to change the world order and, at the same time, expand the fiscal deficit.
This is causing a capital fight at the margins. Global investors are repatriating their money, and this could put pressure on the dollar, bonds, and stocks.
Normally, this would be bad for Bitcoin as it correlates with US stocks.
But we are observing a different phenomenon.
Nasdaq/BTC has been going down steadily since late February, when all the mayhem started.
Bitcoin is acting like a giant capital vacuum that not only operates in the US market, but also everywhere else. So, a capital flight out of the US or out of China for that matter, will only end up in a bid for Bitcoin.
Bitcoin wins on both ends.
- Growth in the global economy and monetary expansion drive Bitcoin higher.
- But a geopolitical fear and jurisdictional risk also cause a flight to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the real three-legged stool as it is:
(A) a hedge against monetary debasement,
(B) a beneficiary of global economic growth, and
(C) at the same time, a hedge against geopolitical fear

Here’s a more detailed explanation of why I’ve changed my view and now support removing the OP_RETURN limit.
In a private chat with nostr:npub1s6z7hmmx2vud66f3utxd70qem8cwtggx0jgc7gh8pqwz2k8cltuqrdwk4c at the Bitcoin FilmFest , I asked if using Knots instead of Core poses any danger. He said "danger" is a strong word, but explained that when a new block is propagated, Knots may not recognize some transactions because its mempool rejected them due to default policy. As a result, there's latency—you have to fetch missing transactions from peers before you can mine the next block.
This means a miner who filters spam is slower to react and loses edge to miners who don’t. So spam ends up on-chain anyway, and only large miners benefit—whether through out-of-band payments or simply accepting high-fee transactions with bigger OP_RETURNs.
Even if most of the network runs Knots, one big miner is enough to mine such transactions. And not all OP_RETURN use is spam. Ocean, for example, used to block coinjoin transactions due to their OP_RETURN usage. I wouldn’t want to run a node that censors legitimate use cases.
When I supported the OP_RETURN limit, I even asked Sparrow to add Knots public nodes (https://github.com/sparrowwallet/sparrow/issues/1716#issuecomment-2872672114). nostr:npub1hea99yd4xt5tjx8jmjvpfz2g5v7nurdqw7ydwst0ww6vw520prnq6fg9v2 kindly responded that Knots doesn’t support BIP47, so it’d break features for users. That was another practical downside.
Also, if spam is destined for the chain, I’d rather mine it and earn the higher fees. I don’t care if someone’s NFT or bridge fails —I’m paid in sats. Let the fee market and block size be the filter. I’m not here to make economic judgments for others.
One concern I had was whether a higher OP_RETURN limit enables malicious code. But if attackers want to embed such arbitrary data required for the attack, they can use bare multisig to do so anyway. Limiting OP_RETURN won’t stop that.
I asked nostr:npub1c2d9mjwwfq0gw9jya6zesywuzzs4ngzp06wf9dcl0kdtmks706dsv6kxar whether we could disable bare multisig. He said it would require censoring pubkeys, raising the question: who decides what’s censored? A slippery slope. In that light, the cure is worse than the poison.
In my thinking, if a real existential threat emerges (for example the ability to crash the nodes by embedding malicious code as arbitrary data), then and only then a limit on OP_RETURN and bare multisig can be justified and that has to be done on the protocl level, not on the policy leve.
But if the side-effect of saving arbitrary data is higher transaction fees for a short time, I'm happy to collect those sats!
As history shows, crazes like Inscriptions fade. We’re already back to 1–3 sats/vByte. The high-fee spam phase is behind us.
And despite popular belief: mempools always clear. That’s a hill I’m willing to die on.
