Why bitcoin core push for something so contestated? Have they become so powerful that they don't need feedback? Why let bitcoiner split like this over a simple OP_RETURN size?
These are some of the questions a non technical person may ask themselves
To future proof bitcoin from changes like this i really think that every team needs a non technical person in the decision makers because technical people usually have this "let's enhance this. Let's improve this." Mindset that is not always the best thing. Sometimes you just have to leave things the way they are if they already work the way it is.
What's fascinating about SATOSHI, who ever they are is the depth they had on ECONOMICS, MATHS, POWERLAW AND MUCH MORE and code was just a tool. Because each time you think you've found an issue with bitcoin, SATOSHI already solved it. Its just that we just have to wait to let things play out to finally see how genuis this person was.
There for, in my view, bitcoin just needs security fixes from existential threats like quantum or maybe AI and not making unecessary changes.
