The article critiques the misguided outrage towards Bitcoin Core regarding the OP_RETURN limit, emphasizing personal accountability for node management. The author, a seasoned Bitcoin user, argues that feelings of anger should be directed at the right targets, highlighting that individuals control their nodes and their configurations. They reinforce the idea that Bitcoin should remain a permissionless system, arguing that as long as transactions are valid and come with fees, it is within the rights of users to decide how their nodes operate, without external imposition from the core developers.
You aren't mad at Bitcoin Core, you are mad at me. NO ONE can alter your node except you. YOU are responsible for your node.
The issue of removing the OP_RETURN limit has nothing to do with Bitcoin Core forcing anything on anyone. They are acknowledging the reality of users like me.
I will never run a node that is configured to enforce these limits. If it's consensus valid and pays a fee, it's not my business.
Bitcoin is supposed to be a permissionless system, and that actually means something to me.
