About this episode

Hodlonaut discusses his views on BIP-110 and its implications for Bitcoin's future with hosts Knut and Luke.

Hodlonaut joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about his controversial decision to first support and then withdraw support for BIP-110, the proposed soft fork targeting spam and data abuse on Bitcoin. The conversation covers Bitcoin Core's uncapping of OP_RETURN, the "wokification" of Core development, lessons from the block size wars, and whether BIP-110 is the right hill for plebs to die on in defending Bitcoin as money. Knut and Hodlonaut go through BIP 110's specific restrictions point by point while debating governance, urgency, and the principled case for keeping Bitcoin simple and resistant to change.
