Block size is a physical constraint, not an optimization mechanism. It limits throughput, it doesn’t decide what should occupy that space.
Even with smaller blocks, you can still end up with blocks packed full of spam. That pushes monetary transactions into the backlog and raises the cost of getting them confirmed. The constraint alone doesn’t guarantee the space is used for the purpose Bitcoin was built for. It only guarantees that competition for that space becomes more expensive. As we’ve seen, fees don’t outprice spam.

No, he’s not. He’s been advocating for fixing the filters when you smooth brains were saying they don’t work. Just because he’s not in favour of BIP-110 doesn’t make him a retard like you.

Do you remember the slogan “fix the filters”? The wording wasn’t random. It was a direct appeal to the maintainers to repair the broken filters that used to block most of the spam. Instead, the broken filters were left untouched and some of the ones that actually worked were removed (OP_Return).
At the moment, the only filters that behave the way they were originally intended are the Knots filters, and they’re running on roughly 22% of the network. That’s the backdrop for why BIP-110 was drafted.
If that basic chain of cause and effect is still unclear to you, the problem isn’t the argument. It’s your ability to follow it. Your homeschooling apparently skipped the part about adversarial thinking. Right now it’s just hot air under pressure.

Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me. Blocks are never “empty” unless in the rare cases where a miner mines an empty block. Also blocks have been consistently above 1.2MB full since 2017. They didn’t need a security bailout from spammers.
On the other matter, this guy is no authority by any stretch of the imagination. He’s a data analyst and currently it’s practically unknown. I just happen to like his humble and concise way of explaining and thought you might learn something from him too. Spam is a nuanced topic that requires much research to properly understand. I’ve been going through this rabbit hole for 3 years straight. Have you? Maybe if you didn’t have a knee jerk reaction to it, you would think differently. Questioning your biases is a sign of greater intelligence. But it’s painful initially.

This 100%! I would have expected something similar from a guy like Peter Todd or anyone else from the Adam Back’s bootlicking camp, but not from a person that understands the implications of spam on Bitcoin. His motivation is pretty weak too. BIP110 doesn’t do destructive stuff with miniscript. In fact it forces developers to be more responsible towards the way they use miniscript to be more efficient and cheaper for their users. Instead this URSF will only create additional chaos and confusion.

It’s not unreasonable to expect developers to build responsibly instead of defaulting to whatever is cheapest/easiest in the short term. If I understand this correctly, the way they’re using the miniscript in those cases is a suboptimal use of tapscript — less efficient and more expensive than it needs to be.
Requiring them to fix that isn’t punitive. It improves efficiency, lowers long-term costs, and ultimately benefits their own users and product. So how exactly is that a bad outcome? If the protocol tolerates sloppy or inefficient constructions, those patterns get cemented. Today’s shortcut becomes tomorrow’s standard.

1. Duplicate txid coinbase bug → BIP-30
Blocks 91,842 and 91,880.
Two coinbase transactions reused the same txid as earlier coinbases. Later ones overwrote earlier ones in the tx index. When BIP-30 locked in the rule “no duplicate txids,” the earlier outputs became permanently unreachable.
Coins were not reassigned. They were economically burned by rule finalization.
This is the cleanest example of what you’re pointing at.
2. 2010 value overflow bug → emergency reorg
Block 74,638 (August 2010).
A transaction exploited an integer overflow and created ~184 billion BTC. That block was later invalidated via a coordinated reorg and patched client release.
What happened economically:
• Outputs created in that block ceased to exist.
• Coins “spent” from that block were undone.
• The supply was corrected by deleting history.
This is outright confiscation via rollback, even if justified. It’s the strongest counterexample to “Bitcoin can’t take coins.”
3. Script rules tightened via soft forks (edge cases)
BIP-66 (strict DER signatures), BIP-62 groundwork, later script tightening.
These soft forks made some scripts that were previously acceptable under loose rules no longer valid.
In practice:
• Very few real outputs were affected.
• Any affected outputs became unspendable unless already spent.
This is rare and mostly theoretical, but it fits the definition: a rule change removed spendability without moving coins.
4. OP_NOP repurposing (e.g., BIP-65 / CLTV)
OP_NOP2 → CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY.
Scripts that relied on OP_NOP2 doing “nothing” could, in theory, break. Any such outputs would become unspendable post-fork.
• Practically nonexistent usage.
• Conceptually real: semantics changed, spendability changed.
Not confiscation in spirit, but yes in mechanism.
5. Anyone-can-spend outputs via invalidated blocks
Whenever blocks are later ruled invalid by tightened consensus (rare but nonzero), outputs from those blocks disappear permanently.
This happened in small incidents (e.g., early Berkeley DB lock limit fork in 2013), though coins were usually recovered via reorg. If they hadn’t been, they’d qualify.
