I have no idea anymore about this core vs knots drama.
I think bitcoin should be optimized for monetary use not for data storage. Changing default relay policy to 100kb seems to have little upside for monetary use. (I could understand a slight increase to help potential current / futures L2 without giving too much space for images)
The argument”otherwise spams go elsewhere in more harmful way” like in utxo set seems wrong to me.
1) they will continue doing that also as it is less expensive
2) I agree with Luke argument that it is not the same profoundly for an image (potentially unlawful) to be stored and coded in a place “specially done for arbitrary data so images for instance” in the protocol and in a place whose usage is changed by the spammers
So I don’t understand the core change in relay policy
However I see a lot of people I like and admire supporting the change and being obsessed by Bitcoin as money (and working on it hard) so I would like to understand genuinely their position (ignoring the toxicity of some of people on the other side or the willingness to show support to maintainers that have been harassed etc)

@Giacomo Zucco (not supporting change in relay policy but strongly opposing BIP-110 so different pos)
