The debate over removing the OP_RETURN spam guardrail in Bitcoin is heating up!

Bitcoin Mechanic from Ocean Mining is calling out Bitcoin Core developers for allegedly colluding with Citrea to lift limits on "spam" content in the blockchain.

He argues that this change would shift costs to users making financial transactions. However, Casa's Jameson Lopp refutes this, stating Citrea doesn't rely on OP_RETURNs for its operations.

As the discussion continues, the number of Bitcoin nodes using alternative clients like Knots surged by 49% in April, but Bitcoin Core still dominates with nearly 95% of nodes!
