“Bitcoin Core v30 installed the “Problem” component of the “Problem → Reaction → Solution“ chain (Hegelian dialectic) that Elizabeth Warren’s bosses so desperately needed. If default mempool policy widens data payloads (e.g., OP_RETURN from ~80 bytes to very large envelopes), the content-liability lever strengthens. One documented wave of illicit payloads → a policy letter to clouds and ISPs: “Treat non-attested Bitcoin nodes as potential content distributors”. Overnight, most retail and enterprise nodes face terms-of-service risk and vanish, leaving only approved providers. I’ve already written about how Bitcoin’s developers are attacking its sovereign/monetary use. Bitcoin Core v30’s default policy made large arbitrary data easy. They lowered the operational cost of attackers and raised the political payoff for compliance clients and app-store/cloud choke-points. That’s not a protocol break; it’s a governance win against Bitcoin as a Medium-of-Exchange.” - nostr:npub1x9hghmfunry8wcgg8s8w5e3drmkndw92r8qu0cp2l28u32aqqn9q6p6rta

Absolute disaster. If that’s not proof enough that defaults always win, even when they are terrible, I don’t know what is. I wonder how many of these nearly 3000 node runners actually realise what they’re running?
