Bitcoin BIP 110 in a nutshell
In short, BIP 110 is not a permanent ban on data or a hard fork. It is a temporary, targeted restriction on the most abusive methods of embedding non-monetary data in Bitcoin transactions.
It remains one of the most debated proposals in recent Bitcoin history.
Bitcoin BIP 110 Explained
BIP 110, titled "Reduced Data Temporary Softfork" (also known as RDTS), is a proposed temporary soft fork (lasting about one year) that aims to limit the insertion of arbitrary (non-monetary) data into Bitcoin transactions at the consensus level.
Main Objective:
It seeks to protect Bitcoin’s role as sound money by curbing what its supporters call “spam” — primarily Ordinals inscriptions and other arbitrary data that have significantly increased since the Taproot upgrade.
The goals are to:
1. Reduce the burden on full nodes (blockchain size and UTXO set growth).
2. Lower excessive transaction fees caused by this data.
3. Refocus development priorities on monetary use cases rather than data storage.
The proposal explicitly rejects the standardization of arbitrary data storage as a supported use case by the Bitcoin consensus rules.
The 7 Technical Rules
During the active period, the following additional consensus rules apply:
1. New scriptPubKey outputs larger than 34 bytes are invalid, except for OP_RETURN outputs (which are allowed up to 83 bytes).
2. OP_PUSHDATA* payloads and witness stack elements larger than 256 bytes are invalid (with limited exceptions, such as BIP16 redeemScripts).
3. Spending undefined witness versions (anything other than Witness v0 or Taproot) is invalid.
4. Witness stacks containing a Taproot annex are invalid.
5. Taproot control blocks larger than 257 bytes (Merkle trees with more than 128 script leaves) are invalid.
6. Tapscripts containing any OP_SUCCESS* opcodes (even if not executed) are invalid.
7. Tapscripts that execute OP_IF or OP_NOTIF (regardless of the condition result) are invalid.
Important note:
These rules only apply to new UTXOs created after activation (a mechanism called “grandfathering”). Pre-activation UTXOs remain fully spendable without restrictions, even after the soft fork expires.
Activation and DurationActivation method: A modified version of BIP9 with miner signaling using bit 4.
Threshold: 55% of blocks in a difficulty period (1,109 out of 2,016) for early lock-in.
Timeline (as of mid-2026):
Signaling began in December 2025.
Mandatory signaling period starts around block 961,632 (projected early-to-mid August 2026).
Lock-in guaranteed by block ~963,648.
Activation around block 965,664 (early September 2026).
Duration: Rules remain active for 52,416 blocks (~1 year) and then expire automatically.
Context and Controversy:
Proposed in late 2025 by Dathon Ohm, BIP 110 was added to the official Bitcoin BIPs repository. It has sparked significant debate in the Bitcoin community during 2026:
Supporters argue it corrects distorted incentives, protects node decentralization, and reaffirms Bitcoin’s primary purpose as money.
Critics see it as a dangerous precedent that could risk a chain split, break certain Taproot use cases or tools (e.g., some Lightning or advanced scripting features), limit future innovation, and have limited long-term effect since spammers can adapt.
As of July 2026, miner signaling remains very low (under 1%), while node support (mostly from Bitcoin Knots implementations) is around 5–8%.

Bitcoin market cap $1.3T is 0.1% of $1,200T market cap of all assets in the world.
Who are you, depending of the percentage of your wealth made in Bitcoin?

Without cheating, without using an AI or a search engine, try to guess which is the second-largest asset by market cap in the world, after real estate, which is by far the largest, including commodities, currencies, stocks, ETFs, bonds, etc.I will give you the answer in the comments soon, and you might be surprised.
Check chatcontrol, MiCA, CARF, DAC8, digital euro, etc. Each new regulation is a step towards the world of Big Brother is watching you. However the resistance is not dead ☠️
We are living a dystopian times. However, the resistance is not dead. ☠️
Can street art still shock you?
The RealT tokenized real estate platform is in liquidation, and the first investor testimonials are starting to fall. When an influencer tells you to do your own research, you must understand "buy Bitcoin instead and keep it as long as possible".

We could see a cyclical low between June 25 and December 31, 2026. My goal is to continue my dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy for buying Bitcoin, as long as I have cash on hand and the price remains below $69,500—the peak of the 2021 cycle. After that, I’ll let the price rise, if possible until the fourth quarter of 2029.

Life is now uncomfortable and she will go back to her previous job.
She should have bought Bitcoin instead of those derivatives products made with a Generative AI.

time to buy Bitcoin
Bitcoin is classified as an antifragile asset in the absolute sense. By definition, an antifragile asset is one that gains value or strengthens during periods of chaos, crisis, or systemic instability, unlike assets in a traditional system deemed “fragile”.
Use Bitcoin in your wealth management strategy, as a store of value to protect yourself against massive money printing by central banks and the decline of traditional fiat currencies (dollar, euro, yen, etc.)
Although this choice involves very high short-term volatility and an ever-present adoption risk but Bitcoin has the world’s best Sharpe ratio (return-to-risk ratio) over a 10-year period, so Bitcoin is my favorite long term investment.
People are telling me in my private messages, “I told you months ago that Saylor and Strategy were going to screw up.”
Too bad—a few months ago, you didn’t put it in terms that more than 80% of readers could understand.
What’s the point of speaking out if fewer than 1% of readers, who come across one of your tweets without knowing the full context of what you’ve tweeted before, can understand what you’re saying?
Have you read anything about communication?
Did you know that as far back as 1674, Nicolas Boileau taught us that “What is well conceived is clearly expressed, and the words to say it come easily”?
This means that when you have a perfect grasp of a subject or an idea, expressing it becomes crystal clear, fluid, and natural - without seeking to complicate things.
Using cryptic langage that almost no one understand only serves to drown a good idea in a thick cloud of smoke.
Over the period from March 4, 2024 to date, I sold part of my Bitcoin at $99k average price and bought it back at $70k average price. For me, one currency is exchanged for other currencies.
Bitcoin on sale. I am buying it day and night.
