Bitcoin Block Size Debate: Lopp Criticizes AI-Driven Claims

Casa co-founder Jameson Lopp has responded to criticisms regarding Bitcoin’s block size, offered by Grok. Grok asserted that Bitcoin’s block size is approximately 664 GB with annual growth of around 72 GB, suggesting that removing OP_RETURN restrictions could increase it by 20%. Lopp refuted this, stating that the claims about OP_RETURN data are significantly smaller than those based on witness information records. On the X platform, Lopp called out reliance on AI to explain technical Bitcoin details as misleading, questioning its accuracy in explaining the intricacies of the system.
