This is funny because in the Core vs. Knots debate you see plainly who the VC funded influencers are. Why can’t Core just roll back the op_return limit in their next release? Clearly it’s been met with contention and should be thought through a little more? Oh wait, there’s VC interest behind the data being added to the blockchain.

Always be mindful of who the influencer you are listening to is getting paid by. This is why I just like talking to plebs, we are interested in Bitcoin as money only, no other incentives. Most of us have day jobs that are completely unrelated. Or perhaps just riding on our stack. So we just want Bitcoin to work as money, not some shitcoin that will bring revenue to our VC project.

- previously held view that "arbitrary data does not belong on a monetary ledger" becomes "who are we to say what belongs?"

- strongly held technical positions develop a mysterious flexibility
