⚙️ Bitcoin Core has divided the community — the new strategy sparks a storm of debate
1️⃣ Bitcoin Core developers have proposed a strategy of non-interference with the network and a change in the approach to transaction relaying.
2️⃣ This has provoked sharp criticism: some fear centralization and spam, while others are concerned about the threat of a split.
3️⃣ Notable figures in the BTC world — Samson Mow, Jameson Lopp, Luke Dashjr, and Carl Horton — have expressed opposing views, highlighting the depth of the conflict.
❗The essence of the dispute: should the Core team influence how transactions are processed, or should Bitcoin remain completely neutral?
💬 Which side are you on?

🚨 **BITCOIN IN DANGER? 96% NODES USE BITCOIN CORE!** 🚨
🔥 **"This is the Biggest Centralization Risk for Bitcoin!"**
Jameson Lopp, Bitcoin legend, **warns of the dangers of Bitcoin Core dominance** used by 96% of nodes!
📌 **CONCERNING FACTS:**
▪️ **96% of Bitcoin nodes** rely on **Bitcoin Core**
▪️ Only **2 active alternatives**: Floresta & btcd
▪️ **Single point of failure** could destroy the network if there is a bug!
💡 **WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?**
✅ **Ethereum has 4+ clients** (Geth, Erigon, etc.) → More decentralization
✅ **Bitcoin Core bug = Armageddon $BTC**
✅ **Fewer alternatives have developers** → Needs community support!
🎯 **WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?**
1️⃣ **Support alternative projects** like Floresta & btcd
2️⃣ **Run non-Core nodes** for diversification
3️⃣ **Educate the community** about the importance of client diversity
💰 **WORDS FROM JAMESON LOPP:**
"Node freedom means choosing your own implementation. 96% Core dominance is unhealthy!"
👇 **CHECK $BTC PRICE NOW!**
**$BTC $ETH $SOL**
💬 **COMMENT BELOW!**
Have you ever run a Bitcoin node? **Do you agree this is a serious issue?** 👇
#bitcoin #decentralization #BitcoinCore #DYOR*
⚠️ **BONUS FOR THE TECH-SAVVY:**
Ways to help decentralize:
▸ Try **Floresta** (Lightweight client)
▸ Support **btcd** (Go implementation)
▸ Buy **non-Core Hardware node**
🔥 **Like & Share** if you care about the future of Bitcoin!
**Disclaimer:** Not financial advice. The risk of node operation lies with the user.

Bitcoin "factions": Controversial proposal to remove data storage limits sparks fierce debate
A new technical proposal on Bitcoin is causing the developer community to engage in the most intense debate since Ordinals. The issue lies in removing the OP_RETURN limit, allowing for much larger non-financial data (such as text, images) to be stored directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. This proposal could expand the network's application capabilities but is also seen as a threat to the core 'digital currency' essence of Bitcoin.

Bitcoin developers are divided over the main proposal
A proposal for a technical adjustment that would dramatically alter the way Bitcoin is fundamentally used has caused a rift within the developer community.
If approved, the proposal to "remove OP_RETURN limits" would allow users to store much larger amounts of non-financial data directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, for use in text and images, explained Decrypt. Some community members consider it a necessary advancement.
Bitcoin Core, the primary open-source software that manages the network, should not have to maintain arbitrary limits, stated Peter Todd, the proponent of this controversial proposal. Todd is a developer who has previously been pointed out as a possible Satoshi Nakamoto (which he has denied) and currently argues vigorously that the limits are useless. This is because they are already being circumvented through alternative technical solutions, making them "ineffective and even harmful," he asserted.
But other developers fear that the change could threaten Bitcoin's basic purpose, noted Decrypt.
Jason Hughes, a long-time contributor to Bitcoin Core, is clearly opposed.
He said this on X: "Bitcoin Core developers are about to... turn Bitcoin into a worthless altcoin, and no one seems to care".
Pieter Wuille, a lead developer of Bitcoin, supports the change but also understands the repercussions.
"I am not satisfied with the demand for those [non-essential] transactions," he said. "But I also acknowledge that the demand exists, and the alternative of forcing it to circumvent the public network is much more harmful".

Bitcoin Finally Fixes the 'Disk Fill' Bug After 5 Years
🛠️ After 5 years of headaches, developers #BitcoinCore have finally released a patch for the disk fill attack bug – a software 'bug' that has plagued nodes since 2020.
This bug allows attackers to exploit commands like LogPrintf, LogInfo, LogWarning, LogError to force the node's hard drive to write countless junk data. The result? The hard drive gets filled up, performance decreases, or even crashes – particularly serious for low-cost nodes using spinning disks.
📌 In Pull Request (PR) 32604, the latest patch from developer Gloria Zhao was officially merged into the production branch last week. The patch code passed 19 reviews and received no objections.
Currently, Bitcoin Core 29.0 (released on 14/4) is ready to bring this patch to the entire network. However, since Bitcoin Core does not auto-update, full node operators still need to manually upgrade to enjoy this 'bug-killing' fix.
🔎 According to statistics, only 16% of nodes are running version 29.0, while the rest are still on older versions – meaning the disk fill bug will not completely disappear until many nodes update.
👉 The lesson? Blockchain security never stops, even with #bitcoin

⁉️Why are more and more people switching from Bitcoin Core to Knots?
A significant part of the user migration has to do with the transaction policies of both clients, which determine what type of transactions a node accepts, stores in its mempool (the 'waiting room' of unconfirmed transactions), and retransmits to other nodes.
These policies do not alter the consensus rules of Bitcoin, which define what transactions and blocks are valid on the network, but they do affect how nodes manage their resources and prioritize traffic on the network.
Some Bitcoin developers perceive this change as a permissive approach, enabling a wide range of activities on the network, including those that may not align with Bitcoin's original purpose.
🥺What will be the outcome?
