A new proposal called "The Cat" is causing significant controversy within the Bitcoin community because it could permanently remove Ordinals and Non-Fungible Token from Bitcoin. This proposal seeks to freeze and remove millions of small UTXOs containing Non-Fungible Token data from the system, arguing that UTXOs are expanding too rapidly and burdening the network. However, many Bitcoin Core developers strongly objected, arguing that this constitutes asset seizure and goes against the principle of "Bitcoin is irrevocable." They also stated that this method doesn't truly block Non-Fungible Token and undermines confidence in Bitcoin. Some proponents argue that removing "junk" data is necessary to reduce the long-term burden on the Bitcoin network. However, even they acknowledge that accidentally deleting data at the consensus level would have serious and almost irreversible consequences.
