Bitcoin Spam Wars: Who Controls Bitcoin’s Future? | Pierre Rochard
In this episode, return guest Pierre Rochard debates the future of Bitcoin’s protocol rules, the cultural shift brought by ordinals and Taproot, and the role of spam mitigation and OP_RETURN, including the incentives of miners versus node operators and the legal and political risks posed by arbitrary data on Bitcoin. We dive into governance, incentives, and whether dissenting implementations like Knots can meaningfully shape Bitcoin’s future. Enjoy!
