you keep throwing in these hypotheticals though, "well but if you think that, then we have no business talking yadda yadda" 🤣 I have stated like 25 times that I despise spam and anything it entails, nor have I ever said that this new low blow to bitcoin is to be ignored. I am, and rightly so I maintain, showing perplexity at the difference in magnitude between taproot scripts, on one side, allowing for huge bloating and pollution of the blockchain, and OP_RETURN on the other, which is disgusting still, but on a much smaller scale, technically speaking.

I believe we have difficulties to meet because you look at it 100% from a "technical lense" only (also are you italian? cause we can switch language in that case lol). This change takes away friction both intellectually (removing friction equal to saying "ok I welcome you rather than tolerate you") and technically (it makes it easier to do; yes it was already possible to do it before, but it makes it easier). And the new technical way exposese to greater legal risk. If you don't take into account anything that is not technical we cannot have a proper discussion At the end I think we agree actually lol. I don't think this is a real threat, the message I'd like to be passed is that it should not be ignored and it is correct making a fuss over it. Not for the change itlsef, you know why? Because ultimately I see a massive disproportion in the "problem" this change claims to fix (very hypotetical and never enough agreed on by enough ppl from day1) and the force with which this change has been pushed by some core devs. Something does not add up here, and if this is the way in which changes are made, it is correct to make a fuss over the modality in whihc changes are made (the HOW is more important than the WHAT imo).
