There is a lot going on in the OP_RETURN debate, but I definitely agree with this: "What the OP_RETURN debate has demonstrated is that Bitcoin Core and the Bitcoin technical community have not done a good job communicating their value – not to mention the rationale behind their decisions – to the average bitcoin user." https://blockspace.media/insight/op_return-debate-the-influencers-vs-the-devs/ The Bitcoin Core developers have produced artifacts and content on these matters already, but those of us closely observing need to do a better job of disseminating that information to a broader set of Bitcoin ecosystem participants. "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." I need to do better.
