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."
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.
