80 bytes is enough for a pointer plus metadata — the most efficient form of layer 2 scaling.
The principle is simple: instead of putting the entire image (or data) on-chain, you embed a pointer or link and store the actual content off-chain — via IPFS, Nostr, Blossom, Nosdav, CIDs, or future solutions built for this purpose.
This approach is cheaper, scalable, and keeps Bitcoin lean and mean for financial transactions.
Ossification is good — aside from essential maintenance updates like cleanup or adjusting mempool limits to match modern hardware.
