The OP_RETURN Limit Debate (w/ Antoine Poinsot) | PubKey Spaces

⁠Thomas Pacchia (https://x.com/tpacchia)⁠ and ⁠Drew Armstrong⁠ (https://x.com/_drewarmstrong_) sit down for a livestreamed chat in the PubKey parlor with ⁠⁠Antoine Poinsot (https://x.com/darosior)⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠ArbedOut (https://x.com/arbedout)⁠⁠. Partway through, ⁠⁠MrHODL⁠⁠ (https://x.com/MrHodl) crashes the studio to stir the pot. They discuss:

- What really caused the OP_RETURN firestorm, and why it’s about more than just inscriptions
- How the push for more data storage is creating incentives for harmful workarounds and network bloat
- Why Bitcoin Knots is no longer “just a slightly modified Core," and why that should concern you
- The tension between “community values” and miner incentives in the age of alternate implementations
- The uncomfortable legacy of mempool policy: from anti-spam fixes to today’s shadow consensus
- BONUS: the French idiom that perfectly captures why decentralized decision-making is so hard
