"Whenever there's a concerted effort to change Bitcoin quickly, I tend to be more pushback against it" - @LynAldenContact Personally, I understand the debate. However, the problems with spam/non-monetary data on Bitcoin always seem to fade themselves overtime with existing [Spoken audio]: For me, whenever there's a concerted effort to change Bitcoin quickly, I tend to be more pushed back against it. So a few years ago, this was the taproot wizard's push to make Bitcoin more expressive. My view, the only technical concern I had was adding things that could add MEV to Bitcoin. Basically things that make mining more complicated that could potentially result in centralization of mining. for me, so I would analyze the technical arguments from those either for or against, but for me the bigger concern was venture capital money raised to try to push that change and people claiming that that change is inevitable because soon as I hear that, I'm like, well, okay, I'm not changing them. Like you've successfully pushed me to not change if you're going to market it like that. And I think we've seen somewhat the other direction this cycle, which is, you know, I think there are reasonable concerns around non-monetary stuff winding its way into bitcoin. I certainly wouldn't support changes to bitcoin that allow that make it easier to either block size increase or loosening of the consensus rules to let more of that happen. I would not be in support of that. Then the question is, are ways to restrict it reasonable? The current proposal, it still lets those things into bitcoin. It just slightly increases the cost of doing so. But then it's being phrased as like an existential thing that absolutely has to pass. And when they start saying, well, instead of getting the normal level of consensus for a soft fork, we're going to lower the consensus and just do a consensus soft fork. And people claiming it's absolutely going to pass and saying that Bitcoin's going to fail if you're not going to pass. Again, that puts me in the camp of, okay, it's kind of an attack at that point. Like, I'm not going to be pressured to make a change.
