It’s obvious that Core developers have been under strong influence from the crypto blockchain narrative, as well as from various scammers who exploit that narrative to enrich themselves by creating all sorts of shitcoins, tokens, NFTs, and other nonsense that they dump on naive people.They enabled scams on Bitcoin and don’t want to fix the mistake or fight against the scams and spam
I hate to repeat this again and again, but Knots does exactly nothing against spam. Please educate yourself, e.g. reading the Bitcoin mailing list discussion.
I forgot who it was, but it was probably a former Bitcoin Core developer who said that Knots' approach to "solve" this issue is like those old network admins in universities that "filer non-academic traffic".

If Knots was the reference implementation, and nearly all miners would follow their stricter standardness rules, then this would be a massive incentive to store NFTs in fake public keys or addresses. This would pollute the UTXO set and increase the costs for full nodes to validate the blockchain.
See again the prime example Bitcoin Stamps (no link to this service from me, search it yourself).
Will those be actual exploits caused by the censoring/"filtering" of the "exploits"?
🤔

OP_RETURN and the Taproot "exploit" do not have this problem. And as we're seeing in mid-2025 the big fad is already gone.
One could also say: Everybody advocating for Knots because of the OP_RETURN "problem" is thus a Bitcoin Stamps shill and wants Bitcoin to be less decentralized.
