Countries with ATH debts and people holding bitty in CB and ETFs. lol. All those coins will be confiscated. The next financial crisis will be brutal.

Citrea : we need 144 bytes op_return or we have to put it in the utxo set. Core : Ok, fuck it policy doesn't work anyway, here's a gazillion bytes. Knots: That will invite more spam onchain and increase attack surface. Core: Spam will get onchain anyway policy is not consensus. Knots: Ok, here's a SF to block most arbitrary and data. Core: Yeah, no. In the middle of all this you have a bunch of stupid arguments about stupid stuff on both sides that is mostly gaslighting. While both sides went to extremes, want more bytes? sure here's a gazillion, we don't want data, here's a SF. How about solving the actual problem, give the 144 bytes and put it at consensus level so that miner can't get around the limit. Done.

Looking back did anyone really asked for taproot? is there any good use case for it? no. Yet this no brainer harmless SF has brought a wave of spam into the chain, then ok, it's bad, let's do a "fix" no one asked, increase op_return! internal wars, ok now let's fix all this mess by undoing some of these things, a SF that might freeze coins and cause a chainsplit! Jfc, something usefull like op_vault to help users self custody? nah just shit nobody uses. And people still want to add more shit. Core mission should be by default say no to any changes.

Am i missing something? why is everyone making such a big deal of this dip?

TheRage is badicly that Lola chick and she hates Luke and Ocean and she is pro spam. What's the surprise?

Core had the upper hand. They could tell Citrea that either they can work with a reasonable amount of op_return or they can get rekt. Instead Core said please don't harm us, we will open a nice door for you and anyone else.

Ok, so filters are bad for Citrea business but they would do more harm by bloating the utxo set, yes, unless you add filters for them like Luke said. Ok, but then it would be a useless cat and mouse game, cat and mouse games is something a decentralized censorship resistant business like citrea cannot afford to play. Bitcoin can.
