All these innovations and ideas should be happening on top of Bitcoin, not on the Core.
Agreed with that. My personal view on this is that instead of removing all limits on OP_RETURN, we should agree on a
sane, consistent data size cap - enough for real use cases, but not
open-ended.Bitcoin should stay
lean. If more data is needed,
Layer 2's can batch it and use OP_RETURN more efficiently.
Progress should be
layered, not
bloated.
