My goal is to make Bitcoin a monetary network and not anything else. I'm convinced this PR has a good chance of going in, so I'll move on from this issue regardless. I will make some predictions, though, and show the receipts when something like this comes up again.
If the removal of the datacarriersize default PR goes through in the next release of Bitcoin Core:
* There will be at least 100x more OP_RETURN outputs greater than 83 total bytes in 2026 than 2024.
* The cost of those transactions will generally be cheaper with respect to the median block fee than they were.
* There will be at least 30% more hashrate mining OP_RETURN outputs greater than 83 total bytes in 2026 than 2024.
