Thomas Pacchia and Drew Armstrong sit down for a livestreamed chat in the PubKey parlor with Antoine Poinsot and ArbedOut. Partway through, American HODL joins the table to stir the pot. They discuss:
What really caused the OP_RETURN firestorm, and why it’s about more than just inscriptions
How the push for more data storage is creating incentives for harmful workarounds and network bloat
Why Bitcoin Knots is no longer “just a slightly modified Core," and why that should concern you
The tension between “community values” and miner incentives in the age of alternate implementations
The uncomfortable legacy of mempool policy: from anti-spam fixes to today’s shadow consensus
BONUS: the French idiom that perfectly captures why decentralized decision-making is so hard
