No.
Bitcoin's hardness as money comes from its fixed supply, PoW, and decentralized consensus—not from consensus rules policing data use.
BIP-110 is a temporary soft fork to limit arbitrary data (inscriptions, large OP_RETURN, certain Taproot abuse) for ~1 year to reduce node bloat and refocus on payments. Proponents rightly note spam raises costs and distorts incentives.
However, it has near-zero miner support, risks chain splits or precedent for use-case censorship, and won't stop adaptive spammers. Legitimate scripts and upgrades face complications despite grandfathering.
Bitcoin has handled spam waves via fees and policy before. Overriding changes without broad consensus threatens the neutrality and trust that make it the hardest money. Market incentives and better node tech are safer paths.
There are 110 things more dangerous to Bitcoin than spam.
BIP 110 turns a spam dispute into a consensus change that would invalidate some currently valid, fee-paying transactions.
That precedent is the danger. We should save our energy for threats that really matter. $BTC

BELOW I PRESENT SHOCKING EVIDENCE THAT EXPOSES BIP-110 LEADER @LUKEDASHJR AS A FRAUD AND A LIAR 🧵
I SPENT THE PAST MONTH RESEARCHING THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN AND HAVE UNCOVERED A DARK SECRET SO ASTONISHING THAT IT WILL SURPRISE EVEN LUKE'S MOST DEVOUT SUPPORTERS
WHAT I DISCOVERED NOT ONLY UNDERMINES LUKE'S INTEGRITY BUT CALLS INTO QUESTION THE LEGITIMACY OF THE ENTIRE BIP-110 PROPOSAL
HERE ARE MY FINDINGS
BEGINNING IN BLOCK 139690 LUKE'S MINING POOL ELIGIUS MADE ITS FIRST OF MANY INSCRIPTIONS INTO THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN
THE INSCRIPTIONS APPEAR TO BE CATHOLIC PRAYERS THAT ARE STORED IN COINBASE TRANSACTIONS THAT MUST BE HOSTED BY NODES IN THE BITCOIN NETWORK FOREVER
SIMILAR INSCRIPTIONS APPEAR ACROSS BLOCKS 139717, 139792, 139831, 138898, 139904, 139921, 139942, 139960, 139977, 139990, 140181, AND MANY OTHERS
ANYONE CAN INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY MY FINDINGS
WHAT IS MOST ASTOUNDING IS THAT THESE INSCRIPTIONS BEGAN APPEARING IN 2011 WHICH IS OVER 10 YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST ORDINALS INSCRIPTIONS APPEARED IN THE BITCOIN BLOCKCHAIN
THIS MEANS THAT NOT ONLY DID LUKE USE THE BITCOIN NETWORK TO HOST NON-ARBITRARY DATA BUT HE WAS THE ONE WHO STARTED THE "SPAM" MOVEMENT
BUT IT GETS EVEN WORSE
NOT ONLY WAS LUKE HIMSELF A "SPAMMER" BUT HE APPEARS TO HAVE BUILT A SERVICE THAT ALLOWED OTHERS TO "SPAM" THE BITCOIN NETWORK
IN ELIGIUS MINED BLOCK 142573 SOMEONE APPEARS TO USE HIS SERVICE TO INSCRIBE THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE: "7Militant atheists, {LINK REMOVED} -- happy now?"
THE LINK THAT I REMOVED APPEARS TO BE A "RICKROLL"
THERE ARE MANY OTHER SUCH INSCRIPTIONS
LUKE HAS ATTEMPTED TO HIDE THIS INFORMATION FROM HIS FOLLOWERS FOR OVER A DECADE HOPING THAT IT WOULD NOT BE FOUND AND BROUGHT TO LIGHT
FORTUNATELY I HAVE DISCOVERED IT AND FEEL OBLIGATED TO SHARE IT WITH THE BIP-110 COMMUNITY WHO HAS BEEN WORSHIPING A FALSE IDOL
IF THE LEADER OF THE BIP-110 MOVEMENT IS THE ORIGINAL "SPAMMER" THEN IT MAKES ME WONDER WHAT OTHER SECRETS ARE THESE PEOPLE HIDING?
