Post #bitcoin V30 mnemonics? @walker @ODELL @npub1guh5...6hjy @Bitcoin Mechanic @Luke Dashjr @Jeff Booth The Bloat – OP_RETURN swells from 80 bytes to 100 KB from release of Core V30. Direct support for CSAM, arbitrary junk, etc, more attack surface. The Gloat – Spammers, trolls, and bad actors brag about abusing Bitcoin’s permanent ledger with CSAM. The Smote – Mainstream media attacks Bitcoin due to CSAM on the blockchain and calls on governments to act. Regulators and courts strike node runners, miners, and service providers hosting the bitcoin blockchain. The Choke – Node operators shut down to moral/legal pressure and risk. Miners are forced to implement monitoring and transaction filtering policies. The Broke – Trust fractures, Bitcoin’s decentralization weakens, censorship resistance is broken and the network risks legal and social breakdown.
