I do envy coders. When I was a teenager, I often etched circuit boards and built gadgets. At 13, I was reading "Programming the 6502" and studying assembly language. Going into college, I strongly considered computing as a career, but ultimately chose the biomedical field. But I often wonder "What If?" and I do envy coders.

Bitcoin will survive the core/knots debate, just as it survived others. Peace frens.

There are two reasons why gold is better money than silver: 1/ It is more scarce than silver and 2/ It has fewer use cases. There are two reasons why silver is better money that copper: 1/ It is more scarce than copper and 2/ It has fewer use cases. There are two reasons why bitcoin is better money than metals: 1/ It is more scarce than metals and 2/ It has fewer use cases. Saylor is right. The best way to destroy bitcoin is to hire competent coders and tell them to make it better. image

Bitcoin lightning addresses are a game changer! But the @ symbol is already used for email and using it for lightning is confusing. May I humbly suggest... image

The best money does ONE thing: be money. If you think digital money can be improved because it's programmable, can we at least compromise and do that on higher layers, and leave the base layer alone? I agree with @Simply Bitcoin #ossify

I concluded many months ago that this was the biggest threat to Bitcoin. As adoption explodes and new waves of coders enter the Bitcoin space, their instinct will be to "improve" it. This is why we need ossification.

The best money does ONE thing: be money. Additional use cases only make money worse, not better. If some think money can be improved in the digital age by making it "programmable," can we at least compromise and put those features on layer 2, and leave the base layer alone?

Can someone who is IN FAVOR of increasing the op_return to 100kb tell me why they support this change to the Bitcoin code?

No one has answered the question, so I'll ask again: The sub-100 byte op_return has worked for 10 years. Why does it need to be changed now?

The small op_return limit has worked for 10 years. Why does it need to change now?
