🟠 A look at OP_RETURN, Bitcoin Core v30, and the Core–Knots conflict. $BTC Bitcoin Core v30 recently removed the OP_RETURN limit (83 → 100,000 bytes). This isn’t just a technical tweak: it’s a new front in the ongoing battle between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. ▫️ @bitcoincoreorg takes a pragmatic, flexible stance, opening more space for external uses (Runes, inscriptions, L2s, etc.) while keeping them contained. ▫️ @BitcoinKnots, on the other hand, defends a strictly monetary vision of Bitcoin, limits OP_RETURN to 42 bytes, and rejects the expansion of these data-heavy use cases. Behind this update lies a deeper question: the role of non-monetary activity on Bitcoin, the cost of blockspace, and how the network should evolve. We break down the technical and ideological dimensions, the real impacts, and the risks behind this conflict in our full analysis 👇
