bitcoin has effectively become ossified, as someone who cares about bitcoin as money, nerfing taproot while not actually stopping spam, seems counterproductive
if op return is really the most concerning aspect, which the social argument would suggest, it is surprising that bip110 was not limited to that, consensus would have been easier

if you cant shut the fuck up, sit still and wait 10 minutes to end the tyranny of millennnia then you are simply a retarded cunt and can #gfy with a scalding knife.
If you had participated in the filters debate for the last 3 years, you’d know that op return was only the last straw in a much bigger conflict. There was an exploit of SegWit and Taproot that created the unintended opportunity for spammers to facilitate a market for data storage in Bitcoin. Core could have fixed that right at the beginning, in early 2023. Luke ever wrote the PR. They blocked it. Just this would be bad enough but then decided to add insult to injury by blowing up the op return to further divert resources to the spammers. That’s why BIP110 was written to take care of both issues. It’s not a conspiracy.
disagree.
lack of consensus around "what is spam", and conviction that "fees will price spam out", would still apply.
same reaction and an opportunity to go further, lost.
