Bitcoin OP_RETURN Debate: Should Data Limits Be Lifted?

The Bitcoin community is abuzz with a familiar tension – debate over the technical function known as Bitcoin OP_RETURN and its data limits. While this debate echoes past controversies, it raises crucial questions about the future of Bitcoin. 80-byte limits on OP_RETURN transactions are intended to keep Bitcoin efficient for financial transactions and decentralized. But some argue these limits are outdated in the face of larger data storage through Taproot upgrades like Ordinals. This is a contentious issue with far-reaching implications, and understanding both sides is crucial.
