In this episode, I break down one of the most contentious mempool debates in Bitcoin’s recent history — the proposed removal of OP_RETURN limits. I explore what the change actually means, why it’s causing such a stir, and what both sides are getting wrong. Is this a technical clean-up or a social signal with dangerous implications? Could it quietly invite back the crypto spam Bitcoin has fought to shed? I do my best to separate the signal from the noise, stealman the arguments, and offer my own perspective on why this fight matters more than it seems — and maybe, why it shouldn't have started at all.
