According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on April 30, the Bitcoin developer community engaged in intense debate over a proposal to lift the OP_RETURN data storage limit in order to store more non-financial data on the blockchain. Developer Peter Todd argued that the existing 83-byte limit is ineffective and harmful, as users have already circumvented it through technology. Bitcoin core contributor Jason Hughes and others strongly opposed, warning that this move would change the nature of the Bitcoin network. Supporters called it a necessary step for Bitcoin's evolution into a programmable platform, but the controversy has forced the development team to reconsider the proposal. This proposal may determine the future positioning of Bitcoin.
