Mars Finance News: The debate about Bitcoin OP_RETURN is intensifying, as the most popular node software - Bitcoin Core developers - stated they plan to completely remove OP_RETURN in the next version. Core contributor Greg Sanders said on GitHub that the current 80-byte limit has failed to effectively prevent data abuse and instead forces data to be embedded in transactions in more covert ways, increasing network burden. He believes removing the limit can simplify the UTXO set, improve system consistency, and allow the fee market to naturally regulate demand. Opponents like developer Luke Dashjr criticize this move as "completely crazy", arguing it will encourage spam proliferation and deviate from Bitcoin's financial positioning. His maintained Bitcoin Knots node adoption has risen to 5%, with some opinion leaders calling on users to resist the upgrade or switch to this version. Supporters emphasize that rule simplification aligns with the Bitcoin spirit, but opponents warn this is a "fundamental directional change". The disagreement highlights the deep contradiction between Bitcoin's functionality and decentralization vision, with consensus difficult to achieve in the short term. (CoinDesk)
