Concept ACK.
I support removing arbitrary limits on Core. Sometime, people need to acknowledge that the nature of Bitcoin is to be a permissionless network, where information can be embedded in many forms, and trying to stifle all of them creates more problems than it solves. For example, the Ordinals could be implemented far more efficiently if certain limits were removed, than by bloating the chain with UTXO dust that will remain unspent forever.
Also, the true reason why people oppose these proposals is because they don't want to see fees skyrocket. They don't care what's being added in the chain, just as they don't care for every other transaction that is not "data-only". Opposing the free market from finding innovative and efficient ways to make use of Bitcoin is contrary to the spirit of Bitcoin, and raises concern for the security budget problem. The more obstacles we place to the way information can be spread, the more we push ourselves towards declining on-chain usage.
But in order for the ones that want to store a lot of info (I consider it spam), they are asking to use my computer to store their information/spam. Nowhere in any instance in society is there a requirement that others may use or abuse your property or use it for reasons you do not want it used.
I haven’t said much over the years because frankly, so many people understand the technical level more than me. But this move pushes us towards centralization. And that is the death spiral. Pretty soon it will require a data center to run core. At that point every small player is priced out of participating. Any chain that allows this always has a high cost and is centralized. Bitcoin will be no different.
I don’t believe I should have to host spam - at a cost nonetheless- in order to use my permissionless money. And just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. I can spray paint my car but I don’t want to. Removing this limit means that I have to buy the spray paint for people that want to vandalize my car. I’ve already made the decision that I don’t want my car spray painted. Vandals can go elsewhere and buy their own paint.
