The OP_Return size drama started because Citrea needs higher limits to inscribe ZK proofs for their layer 2
They can inscribe that extra data in other ways which require more resources from node operators, or they can bypass the node policies entirely by paying miners.
It’s reasonable to remove the limit, since it can’t prevent larger data inscriptions. If anything, it keeps the Bitcoin network honest and predictable.
But the Ocean miners/Knots node runners are the perfect example of why Bitcoin most likely won’t scale and become fungible.
Instead of addressing the issue for what it is, they talk about filtering dick pics and other kinds of undesirable jpegs.
Make no mistake: Citrea is building a financial layer for bitcoin, so it can be used as money in ways that the Bitcoin chain currently does not enable.
Ironically, the filterooors pretend that they’re saving Bitcoin’s use case as money.
You can’t make this shit up 😂
