Root issues in the BIP-110 debate:
1. Spam
2. A compromised Core
3. OP_RETURN
Easy answers:
1. BIP-110 does not fix spam.
2. Trying to fix (perceived) centralization/decentralization problems with even more extreme centralization is counterintuitive.
3. The OP_RETURN change was forced on Bitcoin; and the larger size is still the best (if imperfect) solution available.
Keeping it simple:
BIP-110 aims to fight spam and rein in OP_RETURN data. It’s a temporary (~1-year), self-expiring soft fork that tightens consensus rules three ways: capping most outputs at ~34 bytes, restoring the old 83-byte limit on OP_RETURN, and capping arbitrary data pushes/witness elements at 256 bytes; which also restricts some Taproot tricks (large Tapleaf formats) used for big inscriptions.
It feels like rolling the clock back on Bitcoin’s evolution. Instead of addressing root issues, it’s playing whack-a-mole with spam. It doesn’t actually fix spam; determined users will adapt.
On OP_RETURN size specifically: Let’s detach from emotions and the “I know what’s best for Bitcoin” moralizing and dig into the technicals. Most importantly, OP_RETURN outputs are NOT stored in the UTXO set. This is exactly why the default relay limit was increased; if spammers put their data there instead of in Tapscript or elsewhere, it eases the real problem of UTXO bloat. This proposal is a band-aid. Spammers can (and will) split data across multiple smaller OP_RETURNs or revert to other methods like fake pubkeys. A larger OP_RETURN could be pruned later anyway. It doesn’t solve the incentive problems; it just complicates legitimate uses.
To those saying Bitcoin Core is too compromised and centralized: You don’t fix that by pushing an even more centralized fork. The proposal itself is published under a pseudonym, with authorship actually disputed; Luke Dashjr is credited for the original draft, but there’s genuine disagreement (including allegations it originated from Ocean Mining) about who’s really behind it. Whoever’s driving it, support is thin and concentrated: miner signaling has stayed well under 1%, and most of the node-level support traces back to Bitcoin Knots rather than broad buy-in. That’s not decentralization; it’s trading one set of concerns for another, from an even narrower base.
Bitcoin thrives on neutrality, permissionlessness, and letting fees + the market sort uses. This sets a dangerous precedent.

@phil_geiger I think most Bip-110 supporters have a mental picture of themselves as a massive army of valant knights storming the castle of Mordor to vanquish Dark Lord Sauron & his Orks. It's a powerfully inspiring image, but it over simplifies reality & overestimate the size of the "army"

[Satoshi's Cat (me/mine) @SotoastiNotmoto]

@saylor To our pro-110 friends: it would be genuinely useful and instructive to the debate to hear your reasoned counter arguments to @Saylor's points. AI assisted or no, these seem to be valid oversights and risks of Bip-110. I'm open to be being convinced otherwise. Debate, not hate

[Bitcoin Ekasi @BitcoinEkasi]

I fix cars. I don't break the law.

We work. We earn. We save. We deserve freedom. Not punishment.

Our community has built a thriving Bitcoin economy. We pay salaries in sats. We buy goods with Bitcoin. We save for the future.

But the government wants to shut it down. They want to make self-custody illegal, force the sale of our assets, and outlaw P2P transactions. All without a vote in Parliament.

This is a war on open, permissionless money. It's a war on the unbanked.

This isn't speculation—this is Bitcoin adoption in action. 🪙⚡️

Local students in South Africa are closing the loop by spending their sats directly at Jabulani Shop No. 3 using tap-and-go NFC Bolt cards. A self-sustaining Bitcoin economy built from the ground up, proving that the Lightning Network is the ultimate tool for financial inclusion.

Empowering youth, empowering local business. Incredible work by @BitcoinEkasi! 🇿🇦
