According to PANews, Jason Hughes, Vice President of OCEAN Pool, has announced his decision to sell all his Bitcoin holdings and leave the cryptocurrency industry. This move is in protest against the recent OP_RETURN change approved by the Bitcoin Core development team. The change, set to be implemented in the Bitcoin Core 30 version in October, will remove the 80-byte OP_RETURN output limit and allow the default memory pool to support transactions up to 4MB. This adjustment aims to accommodate applications such as DAOs, oracles, and stablecoins.
In an open letter, Hughes expressed his dissatisfaction, stating, "52 days ago, Bitcoin Core development still maintained its principles," and lamented that "the qualities that made Bitcoin unique no longer exist." He plans to resign when the changes take effect in October and has already received job offers from several non-crypto companies.
