Michael Saylor Rejects Bitcoin BIP 110 Anti Spam Proposal

Michael Saylor has officially spoken out against BIP 110, a controversial proposal designed to remove what some call spam from the Bitcoin network. The plan aims to limit data payloads, which would effectively block things like Ordinals, BRC 20 tokens, and Runes. Saylor argues that this fix is far more dangerous than the issue it claims to solve.

According to Saylor, the core strength of Bitcoin lies in its neutral, permissionless nature. He believes that by deciding which transactions are valid, the network loses the objectivity that makes it valuable. He warns that allowing human judgment to override the protocol sets a dangerous precedent that could eventually target other tools or applications. Beyond the technical debate, he also noted that reducing transaction volume could lower fee demand, which might impact the incentives for miners.

Saylor is not alone in his opposition, as other industry figures like Adam Back and Jameson Lopp have labeled the proposal reckless. With the signaling window approaching in August, the market is watching closely. Current support for the change remains extremely low, suggesting that any attempt to force the upgrade could result in a minority chain rather than a fundamental change to the Bitcoin network.
