About SaylorOpposesBIP110

With miner signaling below 1% and the proposal briefly stalled, the BIP-110 debate reignited. Strategy founder Michael Saylor published a long post on July 19 opposing this plan that limits data-storage uses like inscriptions. BIP-110 adds 7 new consensus limits over a roughly one-year window, including capping script pubkey length, some push data and witness sizes, and disabling some Taproot paths. He also opposes the 55% miner threshold, below BIP-9's 95%.

Bitcoin is walking into its biggest rules fight since 2017, and almost nobody is voting for it. The proposal is called BIP-110, but the real question under it is simple: should Bitcoin just be money, or also a place to store random data like images, text, and meme tokens? Why now? The latest Bitcoin Core update removed an old cap on how much data you could stuff into a transaction. BIP-110 is the backlash, trying to put strict limits back and squeeze things like Ordinals and inscriptions. Backers say it refocuses Bitcoin on payments. Critics say it censors valid transactions that pay real fees. Both sides have a point. Here's the catch. It uses the same activation method as the SegWit fight in 2017, where nodes can force a change even without the miners. But SegWit had developers and the whole ecosystem behind it. This time that support isn't showing up. · Miner signaling is stuck under 1%. Big pools like Foundry USA and Antpool haven't signaled, and F2Pool has publicly pushed back · It was built on Bitcoin Knots, not Bitcoin Core, so the dominant software hasn't adopted it and node support is in the low single digits · A voluntary lock-in deadline hits in early August, with activation projected around September The heavyweights are weighing in. Michael Saylor says there are "110 things more dangerous than spam." Blockstream's Adam Back has told supporters that if they feel strongly, they are free to fork off on their own chain. For everyday holders, the takeaway is measured. The main chain keeps almost all the hashrate and keeps running Bitcoin Core, so most people should see little change. As with any fork event, exchanges may pause deposits and withdrawals around the deadline, so watch the announcements where you hold your coins. If BIP-110 activates with this little backing, many expect a small minority chain rather than a network-wide change. Strip away the jargon and it comes down to a values question the community has debated for years. Do you want Bitcoin to stay pure digital money, or is storing other stuff on the chain fair game? #BIP110MinerVote

Agents Meet Regulators, Perps Meet Reality Regulated Agents @injective filed SEC Transfer Agent registration and published a MiCA whitepaper, putting its RWA and tokenized-assets push on US and EU rails at the same time. The same day, its AI Agent SDK went live, enabling agents to hold assets, trade, tokenize, and settle directly onchain. That pairing is the tell: agentic finance is being built with compliance hooks from day one, not as a bot layer bolted onto DeFi later. Stablecoin Clock Stablecoin issuers now have a hard US deadline: July 2028 is when non-compliant stablecoins can no longer be offered to US users under the GENIUS Act. Pair that with Senator Cynthia Lummis saying genuinely decentralized systems should not be regulated like banks, and the map is splitting cleanly: issuers get bank-style obligations, protocols fight for software-style treatment. Perp Reality @HyperliquidX hit a record 9.4% share of aggregate perp open interest versus centralized exchanges, which is the kind of market-structure share DeFi used to talk about in future tense. But the second perp-DEX exploit in 48 hours reportedly came from an off-chain signing compromise rather than smart-contract flaws. The moat is shifting from audited code to key management, report authenticity, and operational security. AI Adoption Gap The AI adoption numbers are still strangely tiny: 78% of people have never used AI, 21% are free chatbot users only, 2.2% of US households have a paid AI subscription, and just 0.15% of the population has ever used an AI agent. At the same time, Chinese AI models now account for a record roughly 58% of tokens used by US firms on OpenRouter, while Alibaba’s Qwen is positioning its soon-to-be open-weight 3.8 model near the frontier tier. The market is pricing an AI-saturated world, but actual agent usage is microscopic; distribution, openness, and cost may matter more than benchmark theater. Bitcoin Defense Bitcoin governance had two very different alarms today: Michael Saylor published “110 Reasons BIP 110 Is a Bad Idea,” arguing the proposal could fundamentally change how Bitcoin works, while BIP-361 aims to block new BTC from being sent to quantum-vulnerable addresses and sunset legacy signatures over a five-year transition. That is the grown-up version of the old protocol fights: not blocksize slogans, but preservation versus intervention under new threat models. The interesting part is that both sides are claiming defense of Bitcoin’s neutrality. On-Chain Tape The loudest print was USOH: 0.1 days old, 540.6k market cap, 19.92m in 24-hour volume, turnover at 36.85x market cap, and only 29 unique sellers against 1528 unique buyers. That is not normal price discovery; it is launch mechanics under a microscope. Jimothy showed the other side of the same attention cycle, down 50.36% in 24 hours while still trading 4.71m against a 6.41m market cap. Net Read Today was about infrastructure growing up under pressure. Regulated agent rails are arriving, DeFi perps are taking real share, and AI usage is still early enough that the distribution layer remains wide open. The next filter is simple: which systems can turn activity into durable trust, not just louder volume.

#BIP110MinerVote $BTC 🚨 BIP110 is becoming a focal point for the Bitcoin community. This proposal aims to change the block selection mechanism to a miner-voting system, sparking debate regarding decentralization, security, and the future evolution of the Bitcoin network. Regardless of the outcome, this could prove to be one of the most significant votes for the Bitcoin ecosystem in the near future. 👀 Do you support or oppose BIP110? 🤔

#BIP110MinerVote Bitcoin is facing a new battle, and this time, the fight is happening inside the network itself. BIP-110 is creating one of the biggest debates in the Bitcoin community: should Bitcoin limit arbitrary data storage on-chain, or should the network remain fully open? The proposal, known as a “reduce data temporary soft fork,” aims to cap OP_RETURN data and restrict most arbitrary writes above 256 bytes. But the biggest challenge isn't the code, it's consensus. The numbers tell a dramatic story: - Activation requires 55% miner signaling - Support has never crossed ~1% - Current signaling is sitting at 0% - No major mining pool has publicly backed it The divide is becoming sharper. Michael Saylor argues that “BIP-110 things are more dangerous than junk data,” warning that changes to Bitcoin’s core principles could create bigger risks. Meanwhile, Adam Back believes supporters can create their own fork, but “Bitcoin won’t join.” This is no longer just a technical discussion. It is a battle over Bitcoin’s future philosophy: Should Bitcoin remain a pure monetary network? Or should it continue allowing broader experimentation on-chain? With the lock-in deadline expected in early August, all eyes are now on miners, developers, and the community. Bitcoin has survived many debates before. But every major decision reveals one thing: The hardest part of Bitcoin isn't the technology, it's reaching consensus. $BTC $ETH

BREAKING: Michael Saylor just dropped an essay with 110 reasons why he’s against the new BIP 110 for $BTC His take is blunt. He believes the fix they’re proposing is worse than the actual problem. Saylor argues that BIP 110 introduces more risk than it solves, and that messing with Bitcoin’s current design could do more harm than good. The debate around $BTC’s future upgrades just got louder. What do you think. Necessary upgrade or dangerous change? #KoreaStocksCatchDown #SpainWinsWorldCup

🧬 The DNA of #Bitcoin's Identity Crisis The BIP110 debate is exposing a widening rift between #Bitcoin's original vision as a peer-to-peer cash system and its current reality as institutional-grade digital gold. Saylor's framing of "curing the disease but causing harm" captures the tension: on-chain data limits may preserve decentralization but starve future fee revenue for miners. ⚖️ The bull case for BIP110 is that leaner blocks keep validation accessible, reinforcing #Bitcoin's sound money thesis. The bear case is that economic incentives fracture long-term if transaction fees never scale—yet #Bitcoin's store-of-value adoption already relies on custodians and L2s, not on-chain microtransactions. I lean toward this being a philosophical wedge issue, not an economic one that changes holder behavior. 🎯 The real existential risk isn't block size—it's quantum computing's ability to break #Bitcoin's cryptographic foundation in a decade. Is the #Bitcoin community fighting yesterday's war while tomorrow's threats loom? Personal analysis only. Not financial advice. DYOR. #Bitcoin #BIP110 #CryptoAnalysis

🔥MICHAEL SAYLOR JUST PUBLISHED 110 REASONS WHY BIP 110 IS A THREAT TO BITCOIN Saylor argues the proposal uses consensus rules to suppress valid transactions and closes upgrade paths that Bitcoin's original designers deliberately left open. "The proposed cure is more dangerous than the condition. Bitcoin does not need guardians of purity. It needs guardians of neutrality."

When Michael Saylor and Adam Back land on the same side, pay attention. Both are opposing BIP110, the proposal to change Bitcoin's consensus rules to fight spam, warning it sets a more dangerous precedent than the problem it solves and risks a contentious fork. The largest corporate BTC holder and an original cypherpunk, aligned against a change due to activate by September. This is Bitcoin's conservatism working as designed, not dysfunction. The whole value proposition is that the rules are extraordinarily hard to change; friction on consensus edits is the feature. Ethereum iterates, Bitcoin ossifies, and that difference is a big part of why institutions treat BTC as the reserve asset. A loud governance fight that ends in "no change" would be bullish for the thesis, not bearish. Watching the miner signaling into September. DYOR. #SaylorOpposesBIP110 #OKXOrbit

It’s still lil painful, but also funny, to see these Knots BIP110 people claiming moral superiority (for no reason at all) They also claim that “node runners rule the network”, which is undoubtedly inaccurate Simple way to prove this is that anyone could spin up 100k AWS nodes (the Knots crew did spin up many thousands such nodes but probs too poor to spin up more) & with such cheaply achieved node superiority they could change Bitcoin, in these peoples’ minds “The miners gotta follow the nodes” lol It just doesn’t get more retarded than this It’s put up (economically), or shut up Beautiful network is Bitcoin, truly & thankfully 🙏

Bitcoin is heading into its biggest governance debate since the 2017 SegWit battle—and this time, the community is deeply divided. At the center is BIP-110, a proposal that raises a fundamental question: Should Bitcoin remain focused solely on money, or should it also support data like images, text, and Ordinals? The debate gained momentum after the latest Bitcoin Core update removed an older limit on transaction data. BIP-110 aims to restore strict restrictions, arguing that Bitcoin should prioritize payments over on-chain data storage. Supporters see it as protecting the network, while critics believe it would censor legitimate fee-paying transactions. Unlike previous upgrades, this proposal faces significant resistance: - ⛏️ Miner support remains below 1%, with major pools such as Foundry USA and Antpool yet to signal, while F2Pool has openly opposed it. - 💻 The proposal is built on Bitcoin Knots rather than Bitcoin Core, leaving node adoption in the low single digits. - 📅 A voluntary lock-in deadline arrives in early August, with potential activation projected for September. Industry leaders are also weighing in. Michael Saylor argues there are "110 things more dangerous than spam," while Adam Back has suggested that supporters who strongly favor the proposal are free to launch a separate chain. For most Bitcoin holders, the impact is expected to be limited. Bitcoin $BTC CORE continues to power the vast majority of the network, and the main chain retains nearly all of the hashrate. However, if a fork occurs, exchanges could temporarily pause $BTC deposits and withdrawals, making it important to monitor exchange announcements. Ultimately, this isn't just a technical upgrade—it's a philosophical debate that has shaped Bitcoin for years: Should Bitcoin remain purely digital money, or should the blockchain also serve as a platform for storing other types of data? #MemoryBullBear #BTCFundingVsETF
