I will not be running BIP-110 or a similar softfork. Such a fork solves nothing.

However, the behavior of Bitcoin Core is also harmful to Bitcoin.

The OP_RETURN change had no technical basis and had other problems:

  • People will not pay 4x more to use OP_RETURN. The “cheaper at small sizes” argument was fixed by Taproot annex already.

  • SegWit data can be fully pruned (or even not downloaded) while being able to verify supply. OP_RETURN can’t.

  • Both SegWit and OP_RETURN do not inherently pollute the UTXO set. It is due to the specific implementation of Ordinals.
