So the OP_RETURN discussion is dividing Bitcoiners into two sides at the moment.

But let me get this straight, it’s about censorship (in some way?), it’s about the ability of storing data (jpegs lol) in transactions. Do I get that right?

But, why would people want to use the #bitcoin network for this? Aren’t there a lot (faster) blockchains out there that don’t give a fuck about what’s on the blockchain? Or what it’s even used for? (I’m looking at you, Solana).
Sure, Bitcoin is the biggest, safest option out there. But that’s not why it was created right?

The wheel also wasn’t invented to lay it on it’s side, slap a wooden plate on it, and use it as a table right?

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.


I’m nothing of a programmer, or a hacker whatsoever. Maybe I should’ve looked into this a bit more, so excuse me if I get this wrong.

But that’s just my two sats
