So many Nostrites unaware of @Stacker News You can find actual Peter Todd irl discussing op return AND pro Knots advocates debating the issue in an adult manner I am in no way versed enough to know enough either way One issue arises frequently when there is no central authority, who makes the decisions?

The question is does Botcoin care if it's Core or Knots?

Had to decline a wedding invitation via rsvp due to a prior commitment What do you say? Oh yes Grok you know 😂😂😂

Satoshi released his whitepaper, a libertarian dream, a currency free from central banks and middlemen But as adoption grows, so do the pressures The absence of a central authority, once Bitcoin’s strength, now fuels community factions, devs, miners, and hodlers clash over upgrades, echoing the boardroom battles of startups scaling too fast. We can look at history for examples of infighting, like the almighty Zuck, Eduardo Saverin and the Winklevoss twins, or the McDonald brothers and Ray Kwoc This is just par for the course

I would like to read Darthcoin and Justin Shocknet opinions on OP_Return

For anyone not massively technically minded about the whole Core vs Knots debate This is Grok's simplified answer... Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN is a feature that lets users add a small amount of data (like notes or timestamps) to transactions on the blockchain. It’s currently limited to 80 bytes to prevent spam and keep Bitcoin focused on financial transactions. Recently, a Bitcoin Core developer, Peter Todd, proposed removing this 80-byte limit and allowing multiple OP_RETURN outputs per transaction. Supporters, like Todd, say this would simplify the code, support new use cases (like sidechains), and reduce network congestion without bloating the blockchain’s critical data set (UTXO). Critics, like developer Luke Dashjr, argue it could turn Bitcoin into a general data storage system, encouraging spam, illegal content, or non-financial uses, which they see as betraying Bitcoin’s purpose as a decentralized currency. The debate is heated because it’s not just technical—it’s about Bitcoin’s core identity: money vs. a broader data platform. It echoes past fights, like the 2014 “OP_RETURN Wars,” and shows deep divisions in the community. Some worry about centralization if developers push changes without consensus, and others see moderation (like muting critics on GitHub) as censorship. For now, the proposal is under review, but it’s sparking big arguments online. Grok today

The Bitcoin protocol but for escrow. Bitcoin bank and customer Escrows are a single point of failure Bitcoin escrow executed by distributed nodes Once Bank and customer agree Nodes confirm allocation of funds Shitposting bank edition

Bitcoin tokens stay the same, just who is in the castle may change

Is slating Core the latest fud

The BBC are pushing the climate change scare tactics again: by 2050 yada yada yada.... Al Gore, 2006: “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.” Al Gore, 2006: “Unless we took ‘drastic measures’ to reduce greenhouse gases, the world would reach a ‘point of no return’ in a mere ten years. He called it a ‘true planetary emergency.’” Al Gore, 2009: “Some of the models suggest that there is a 75% chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during some of the summer months, could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.” Mostafa Tolba, 1982: “Within 20 years there would be ‘an environmental catastrophe which will witness devastation as complete, as irreversible as any nuclear holocaust.’” Noel Brown, 1989: “Entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” Rajendra Pachauri, 2007: “If there is no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment.” Prince Charles, 2009: “The planet has 96 months to avoid irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse, and all that goes with it.” Ted Turner, 2008: “Not doing it will be catastrophic. We’ll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not 10 but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.”
