🚨 Major news from the Bitcoin Core team! They've decided to implement one of the most controversial changes in years: lifting the OP_RETURN output cap to allow transactions exceeding 80 bytes!

Developer Gregory Sanders stated that the old limit had become counterproductive and ineffective, leading to harmful workarounds that damage the network. "Large-data inscriptions are happening regardless," he explained, emphasizing the need for a policy that aligns with actual network practices.

This change aims to minimize incentives for opaque practices and simplify the relay path for transactions. While the decision has garnered broad but not unanimous support, it hasn't been without controversy, with some dissenters encouraged to run modified software to enforce stricter policies.

As the debate continues over what constitutes "spam" on the blockchain, the Bitcoin community is buzzing! What are your thoughts on this significant shift? Let us know below! 👇
